Grim news from Warner Brothers… it appears the Batmobile has lost its wheel. Police fear the joker may have gotten away, or some reports indicate he may have laid an egg.

Vonnegut in 1953 or Time Traveling Vonnegut in 2025?
"They say the first thing that pops into their heads"" said Em. She closed her eyes. "Golly remember shopping, Lou? Remember how the stores used to fight to get our folks to buy something: You didn't have to wait for somebody to die to get a bed or chairs or a stove or anything like that. Just went in-bing!-and bought whatever you wanted. Gee whiz that was nice, before they used up all the raw materials. I was just a little kid then, but I can remember so plain." Depressed, Lou walked listlessly to the balcony's edge, and looked up at the clean, cold, bright stars against the black velvet of infinity. "Remember when we used to be bugs on science fiction, Em? Flight seventeen, leaving for Mars, launching ramp twelve. 'Board! All non-technical personnel kindly remain in bunkers. Ten seconds ... nine ... eight... seven ... six . . . five . . . four . . . three . . . two . . . one! Main Stage! Barrrrrroooom!" "Why worry about what was going on on Earth?" said Em, looking up at the stars with him. "In another few years, we'd all be shooting through space to start life all over again on a new planet." Lou sighed. "Only it turns out you need something about twice the size of the Empire State Building to get one lousy colonist to Mars.

LMAO Vinyl Me Please went bankrupt, I haven't been subscribed for a year. The new owners email me this and I click the link to check it out... it goes to a Stripe invoice for $250 dollars that is labeled "PAST DUE". Scam artist behavior. The most generous read is they used the wrong wording but...
Hey Tucker, We know many longtime VMP members were left hanging when Offbeat Ventures LLC collapsed earlier this year — unfulfilled orders, unredeemed credits, and radio silence. That chapter ends here. As the new owners of VMP, we spent the last 4 months rebuilding from the ground up. Our goal was to simple — simplify the service and get back to shipping The Best Damn Records. We prioritized restoring the record of the month exclusives and getting active members back on track. For our first new exclusive, we selected the debut album from an exciting new artist, Gelli Haha, and had it mastered for vinyl by the legendary Scott Hull of Masterdisk. The biggest change – VMP is now “offline” and lives at (314) 300-9979, along with our monthly catalog, where you order records and manage your account. You are receiving this email because we identified you as a customer who has not received all of your vinyl purchases, pre-orders, store credits, or swap credits from Offbeat Ventures. For every $50 worth, you now have available MEMBER CREDITS to redeem with the new VMP.

I becoming convinced that Vonnegut actually was slipping through time
Page from The Player Piano, by Kurt Vonnegut, 1952. "There are twelve of them," Halyard interrupted. "Each one selects books for a specific type of reader." "There are twelve types of readers?" said Khashdrahr. "There is now talk of a thirteenth and fourteenth," said Halyard. "The line has to be drawn somewhere, of coursc, becausc of the economics of the thing. In order to be self-supporting, a book club has to have at least a half million mem-bers, or it isn't worth setting up the machinery-the electronic billers, the electronic addressers, the electronic wrappers, the electronic presses, and the electronic dividend computers. "And the clectronic writers," said the girl bitterly. "That'll come, that'll come," said Halyard. "But Lord knows getting manuscripts isn't any trick. That's hardly the problem. Machinery's the thing. One of the smaller clubs, for instance, covers four city blocks. DSM." "DSM?" said Khashdrahr. "Excuse me. Dog Story of the Month." Khashdrahr and the Shah shook their heads slowly and made clucking sounds. "Four city blocks," echoed Khashdrahr hol-lowly. "Well, a fully automatic setup like that makes culture very cheap. Book costs less than seven packs of chewing gum. And there are picture clubs, too-pictures for your walls at amazingly cheap prices. Matter of fact, culture's so cheap, a man figured he could insulate his house cheaper with books and prints than he could with rockwool. Don't think it's truc, but it's a cute story with a good point." "And painters are well supported under this club system?" asked Khashdrahr. "Supported—I guess!" said Halyard. "It's the Golden Age of Art, with millions of dollars a year poured into reproductions of Rembrandts, Whistlers, Goyas, Renoirs, El Grecos, Degas, da Vincis, Michelangelos "These club members, they get just any book, any picture?" asked Khashdrahr. "I should say not! A lot of research goes into what's run oft, believe me. Surveys of public reading tastes, readability and appeal tests….”

The Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut (written in 1952) seems to have nailed it.
Passage from The Player Piano written by Kurt Vonnegut in 1952. “As Paul passed Katharine Finch’s desk on his way into his office, she held out his typewritten speech. ‘That’s very good what you said about the Second Industrial Revolution,’ she said. ‘Old, old stuff.’ ‘It seemed very fresh to me—I mean that part where you say how the First Industrial Revolution devalued muscle work, then how the second one devalued routine mental work. I was fascinated’ “
