""Well, they should have known!" said Noonan didactically.

"And here's what they'd say in reply: You should have long since gotten rid of military-industrial complexes.""
...that it was maximally insulated, the container with the mechanical arm, the slime went through the metal and plastic like water through a sieve, escaped, and turned everything it touched into the same slime. The tally: thirty-five dead, more than a hundred injured, and the entire laboratory is completely unusable. Have you ever been there? It's a gorgeous building! And now slime has seeped into the basement and lower floors. That's a prelude to contact for you." Valentine made a face. "Yes, I know all that," he said. "But you have to admit, Richard, that the aliens had nothing to do with this. How could they have known about the existence of military-industrial complexes?" "Well, they should have known!" said Noonan didactically. "And here's what they'd say in reply: You should have long since gotten rid of military-industrial complexes." "That's fair," agreed Noonan. "Maybe that's what they should have worked on, if they are so powerful."

From "Oh Time Thy Pyramids" by Ann LeBlanc

The Ggreggonae were a raucous sort, who believed that the only way to stop the cycle of rebirth and death within the tomb was to become so loathsome to the Queen that she would excise their souls from reality. Thus they spent their eternal lives vandalizing rooms, breaking objects, singing heretical songs, and wrestling each other. I asked one of their more reasonable numbers if he believed the Queen found wrestling particularly egregious, and his answer was to laugh and put me in a headlock. I avoided the Ggreggonae after that.

I smile until my heart becomes a flower. I reach into my chest and pluck it out, a bright red hibiscus the color of blood. She takes it and kisses my forehead.

Testing out the new board game, "Fled" by Mark Swanson. I dig it. It's neat. Thematic with interesting mechanics.

I love this imagery from Ulysses. The mother as the only thing keeping the world from blindly trampling the children underfeet. In this time of blind men pray that the mothers have the strength to hold.
Quote from James Joyce's "Ulysses": Ugly and futile: lean neck and thick hair and a stain of ink, a snail's bed. Yet someone had loved him, borne him in her arms and in her heart. But for her the race of the world would have trampled him underfoot, a squashed boneless snail. She had loved his weak watery blood drained from her own. Was that then real? The only true thing in life? His mother's prostrate body the fiery Columbanus in holy zeal bestrode. She was no more: the trembling skeleton of a twig burnt in the fire, an odour of rosewood and wetted ashes. She had saved him from being trampled underfoot and had gone, scarcely having been. A poor soul gone to heaven: and on a heath beneath winking stars a fox, red reek of rapine in his fur, with merciless bright eyes scraped in the earth, listened, scraped up the earth, listened, scraped and scraped.

Nice! I'm still reluctantly trudging along. I keep encountering stinkers like the attached and have to rage pause. (SOMEONE GET AN EDITOR TO TELL HIM THIS IS A CHIMNEY)

It's a shame because I tore through the rest of the Cosmere and read Children of Time in 4 days but this one is not clicking.

Yeah this is the kind of shit I routinely spare you guys from
Screenshot of the bluesky compose skeet screen asking to confirm if I do in fact want to delete the nonsensical musing: "After a certain point these aren't even people, they're concepts. Good or bad, Elon or Kendrick. They're ideas and should be interacted with and responded to accordingly"

Look at me all new site new me. I've read one and a half whole articles, the abstract to a paper and I'm following scientists!
The cartoon mouse Pinky from Pinky and the Brain (or Animaniacs) standing triumphantly arms outstretched and fists clenched ready to conquer the world with his Kelsey Grammer sized head (big. real big.). Pinky stands behind him with his tiny brain but he's not important. I'm sure there's some sort of statement here about tiny impotent creatures with inflated self importance who ever only temporarily escape their cages or something but I've got lots of important papers to open in a new tab and never actually read.

I suspect the sleep study will find I don't sleep well with tubes in my nose and tangled around my body
Shirtless bearded white guy laying in bed with some kind of medical device strapped to his chest (which thankfully hides the nips) glowing with green lights and connected to nostril prongs and other areas with clear tubing. Expression on dude's face is annoyed disbelief.

Quote a rap album with zero skips

Two cds and not a single skip. Not even the 7 minute long intro track. The year 2g done came and went and I STILL haven't figured it out. #rap #hiphop #music
