Imagine the priests of Pharaoh when Moses’s snake swallowed their own, a slave god defeating the beast-headed lords of death & resurrection that made Egypt the greatest empire in human memory—those priests’ expressions in the moment of their pantheon’s surrender might've been a match for Carlyle’s.

I’ve been known to be nimble & quick, but I’ve never cared for the cold. These days most folks know me as JT Fields, but my friends—and I do hope we’ll be friends, young fella—just call me JACK. I have walked this world for as long as it’s been turning & I plan to keep walking it even if it stops.

The President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it.

Netherton was coming out of the baker’s when Macon’s #sigil appeared.
MACON: If we fly your boy to Frankfurt, will you be able to brief the German PR team tomorrow morning?
NETHERTON: Where is it now?
M: On the runway in Cairo. We’ve got Flynne’s peripheral in Paris. You could brief them together.

I think there's no person so hated by the ambitious of this world as Bryar Kosala, since those who fight viciously to grasp the reins of power can't forgive that she could rise so high & still be nice. She likes helping & is good at running things.

SAMAR: Oh, yeah, yeah, he's on 11. They have the best bathrooms, & he takes his morning 💩 around this time.
HR: Samar, we have talked about these micro-aggressions.

There are also reports of breastfeeding raccoon & seal babies. The "white women ain't scared of shit" trope (wwasos) may have reached its omega point.
For everyone who's like "why are you telling us not to breastfeed bats, surely no one is doing that"

I used to do wildlife rehab in a state where our primary rabies vector was bats.
One summer we had *two different incidents* where a Good Sam brought us an injured bat that they had been *letting crawl around on their bare chest* and feeding breastmilk.

Hiro & Vitaly pass Mayan encampments & Buddhist shrines & white trash stoned on Vertigo, Apple Pie & Fuzzy Buzzy. There are many little tubes, transparent plastic w/a red cap on 1 end. They might be crack vials, but pipeheads wouldn't replace the caps on empty vials. It must be something #new.

This helps me understand why anyone dislikes Snow Crash. I was enjoying the Sumerian explainers too much to wonder if other people were enjoying it, too. I grew up in a Creationist family & school. I was fascinated by the mind-bendingly alien versions of bible stories in Snow Crash.
