Oh, man I dunno... we basically don't do Japanese food here (too expensive, rarely "right")... Just maybe twice a year T caves in to craving... Not ramen but "Niko Izakaya" and "San" are excellent though.

"If you start...from the perspective that AI does not inevitably replace humans in the dissemination and discovery of knowledge, so much as it reorganizes relations among them, then you begin to start asking questions that are systematically obscured by Machine God Thought."

One strange way I've noticed my writing reflexively shift in the Anslopocene is that I've become obsessed with mercilessly editing myself. People are just hurling 5,000 word essays into comment sections, all thoughtless, corporatised, dark grey gruel.

IDK if it's just in Viennese German or generally, but "theater" ("Teh-Ahh-terr") can be used to sarcastically refer to "a scene" or "drama" or "clown show"… That's how I mean it when I speak of "Security Theatre" A clown show in a culture of fear.
