Last night's dream was so weird. Was at a mall of some kind? And in rapid succession I ran into an ex, a coworker, and my dead sister. The vibes were rancid.

Overheard at work:
Student 1: Of course Socrates isn’t real, do you think anyone would talk to Plato?
Student 2: Low-key, I feel that way about Saint Augustine. He HAD to be close with God because he was like, a weird homeschool kid.

if you were to make a gender-swapped version of James Bond, and needed to come up with a bawdy euphemism name for a glamorous and sexy Bond Boy, ironically you could do a lot worse than Roger Moore.

Blue Shield sending me a 'your mental health matters' notice while jacking up my premium by 30% and explicitly increasing my share of cost for mental health-related appointments is a wild choice.

This is the chart that in my 20s had me responding "agnostic atheist" whenever anyone asked what I believe.
Now I think this chart is mostly silly, and whenever anyone asks what I believe I mostly just say "don't talk to me."

They made a political compass for atheists and it’s done immense damage to the mind

Gravity's Rainbow.
Jonathan Lethem once put it very well: "For Joyce, history is a nightmare from which we are trying to awake. For Pynchon, history is a nightmare within which we must become lucid dreamers."
You can see the great curve in Pynchon and then, after that, you see it everywhere.

The future is building a humanoid robot at great cost to replace hiring a guy to hand out water bottles, then hiring a guy to remote control the robot handing out water bottles.
