Read in my early 20s. Not that I became a utilitarian, but pulling at the thread of speciesism I came to see how many systems start to unravel.

Mark your calendars, folks, per Executive Order within nine months the ASS Platform will demonstrate initial operating capability for the Genesis Mission to secure dominion over, like, everything. While multiplying the return on taxpayer investment, natch.

Will be curious to see if @davidyamane.bsky.social ends up addressing this piece. This comment thread is yet another reminder that the conversation on this topic is stuck. There’s a sociology of guns beyond epidemiology:

The creature in the sky
Got sucked in a hole, now there's a hole in the sky

Only five chapters in but enjoying it. Fav sentence so far: “albeit the kind of affection of which only emotionally stunted and overachieving teenage boys were capable.”

Frost flowers. Beautiful and ephemeral, yes. Rare? I find them every year. I’m in a good location and an ideal line of work to see them. Are they a “sign” (from above) of anything other than winter is coming? Call me skeptical.

I know, I know, polycrisis, existential risks, elite impunity & brain rot, but I’m over here still thinking about why street urchin, aspiring detective, and radio mad scientist Skeet Wheeler—father of Vineland’s Zoyd (who never shrugs)—has the last word in “Shadow Ticket” if not in Pynchon’s oeuvre.

Some days, when the scroll is too much with me, I think about the hours I spent in public libraries growing up, especially this reading room, not partitioned then. The new glass panels are respectful in all the right ways. And yet.
