Interesting look at car camping culture in China, enabled by the massive EV adoption rate which is, we can only say so many times, a matter of political will, not technological limits. Gift link. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Chinese EV Drivers Are Ditching Hotels for High-Tech Car Camping

High-tech SUVs are becoming bedrooms on wheels as budget-conscious travelers skip hotels and fuel a multibillion-dollar camping economy.

I think it's good that Mamdani is Just Doing Stuff but more people gotta realize that it is not a matter of Will or motivation or whatever but because the NYC Mayor, as an office, is one of the uniquely powerful individual offices you can hold in the United States (seriously)

1,100,000 Americans died from Covid, and these fucking scumbags want everyone to believe that it was all a hoax & didn't happen. My Mom died in a Covid ward in 2020. I couldn't get in to see her. A nurse held up the phone to my Mom's ear so I could tell her goodbye. I hate these people. Truly.

I 100% have not changed a single goddamn thing about how I write here in the age of "AI." I write how I write. If the "AI" writes anything like how I write, it's because it stole from me. I'm gonna use any punctuation I like, and if it looks "AI"ish to you, you can go fuck yourself.

One of the main antagonists in THE DISSIDENTS-- out Sept. 15--- is the secretive American Protective League. The APL served as a secret police force for autocratic Pres. Woodrow Wilson, who would not tolerate dissent. A year after forming, it had over 100,000 agents. #graphicnovels #comicbooks

this is one of the ways in which I think the modern publishing environment, which requires the vast majority of authors to do all of their own promotional work, has been incredibly damaging "I got canceled on social media" can be a real career-ruining thing! it's not irrational to worry about it!

Taking a month off from drinking, and within that month getting a mystery illness, getting < 4 hours sleep a night, my cat passing, and being bombarded by constant news of the victory of banal evil, is a pretty good fit for those "conditions of absolute reality" that Shirley Jackson wrote about.

I stand by everything I said previously. At least with a major bank I know there is oversight, deposit insurance, and regulation for things like anti-money laundering.

Tweets from Karen K. Ho (@karenkho) on Nov 9, 2022.
1. "I don't report on finance anymore, but please do not connect your bank account to Twitter"

2. "there is no such thing as a guaranteed high yield, this transaction with Elon Musk will be incredibly risky and not insured by the FDIC or CDIC, and there are many reasons why financial accounts and traditional investments are closely regulated"

3. "I used to be a literal bank teller for several years and my parents both worked for major banks for two decades. If you feel like goofing around with money, buy a raffle ticket from a local charity.

Do not give a social media company your bank information."

Anyone have any good "autumnal" music recommendations? Not necessarily Halloween-y music (although I'm not opposed to that, just already have a lot of it on the project playlist I'm building). 20th century preferred, but if you like something more recent, surprise me with it!

I love Edward Gorey’s theory of art: “Art…is presumably about some certain thing, but is really always about something else, and it’s no good having one without the other, because if you just have the something it is boring and if you just have the something else it’s irritating.”

The success of Emily Wilson's translation had nothing to do with Christopher Nolan. The hardcover edition came out 9 years ago and was a huge success. The paperback has been in steady demand since 2018. My store has sold 75 copies (a lot for 1 book for us) and 66 of those were before January.
