In so many ways, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. really got it. Here is an excerpt from Timequake where he is (vengeful) teaching his brother a lesson about art, and accidentally explaining the uselessness of gen-AI “art”:

A conversation about reading at a New Year’s party last year was the kick in the butt I needed to spend more time reading this year, and I’m so glad I did.

I thought of @scottwampler.bsky.social’s BMD interview with Rian Johnson just a day or two ago when I paid $5 United States dollars to buy Dragula in the video game Fortnite. This person who I did not know pressed untold quantities of joy into the creases of my brain.

I’ll never forget when @scottwampler.bsky.social sold “the greatest Star Wars character name” to @rianjohnson.bsky.social on Twitter. What an absurdly funny thing. What a loss.
