Enjoyed Queen's Gambit. Walter Tevis was particularly good at dialogue. His style is understated but powerful. He was also a social conscious writer. So I'm likely to read all his books. Started Mockingbird, his sci-fi book, and I'm hooked already.

My new favorite chess opening is 1c4 2e4, a variation on The English. Sometimes I bring one of the knights out on 2, and if my opponent plays 1..d5, I'll play 2e3. Anyway, 1c4 2e4 is the usual, however, that variation is not included in Modern Chess Openings. Anyone know why? #chess

Just finished The Running Man. Nothing like the movie, which I like. The book is gritty and dark in ways the movie didn't even touch. Surprised they haven't made this into a movie again. Give it an early Black Mirror sheen and it would work,I think.

I took this and other We Are Numbered_ stuff off streaming a while ago and hearing it now I don't know why. Like, I've forgiven its faults over time. Or I'm just not seeing them now. Whatever. I quite like this one, actually.

Random memory: In junior college my English professor asked me if I was gonna write the Great American Novel and when I said yes he said, Too bad, it's already been written.

I've sort of been lamenting the death of rock these last couple decades so I'm glad to see kids are out there learning to play guitars. youtu.be/a95G2GzB3t0?...

So, apparently there's a whole scene of youngsters making guitar music these days. I dig it but hope someone eventually makes something that's not so retro. Fingers crossed.

Industrial/Electronic stuff from the past you might have missed...
CHEMLAB
You may have missed them in the 90s as they didn't stick around long. They're one of few that were influenced by Ministry that had their own sound. Burn Out at the Hydrogen Bar is a classic.
