A general strike for me means I won’t be laboring for others or purchasing consumer items. We will be also eating leftovers and avoiding streaming shows from any major platforms.
- doing labor for yourself is okay.
- protesting and demonstrating is recommended.
- porch beers are a-okay.

In a recent experiment, physicists cooled the organic molecule iodopyridine to almost absolute zero. Even at their chilled state, the molecule was vibrating. This is just one example of how, in the quantum world, motion persists at minimum energy.

Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means is up for interpretation.

Also, product placement in books is incredibly inefficient advertising. Assuming one gets through the first 153 pages to get to the passage about a fizzy Coke and still thinks ‘Yummy, gotta get me one!’ — more likely I would stay home, I’m just getting into this biography of John Stith Pemberton.
I don't know a single writer who has been asked to do product placement in their work, or at least, if they have, they have not admitted so to me. Nor have I ever been approached with an offer for product placement of any sort. I would be unlikely to entertain such an offer. I don't need the money.
@scalzi.com is this true? Do brands pay the big bucks for product placement in books?

“I am in perfect mental health!” Cried the man who randomly capitalizes words and signs his tweets like a letter — even though everyone else stopped doing those things years ago because it makes you look mentally unwell.

The House of Dynamite writing process was most likely a list of dialog lines it would be terrifying to hear an authority figure say. Then it was simply a matter of filming every variation. #filmsky

Also in twenty years there’s going to be a generation of people who will assert “I loved those Avatar movies as a kid.” “They don’t make em like that anymore.” Etc.
Avatar has had a staggering cultural impact, in that every time one of the movies is released there is a flood of articles/comments/assertions about how little cultural impact it has had, any franchise that causes that consistent level of engagement in the chattering class is making a hell of a mark
