Look, GtSP is putting in the work. You think Al Roker is running down sources like GtSP? Sure, those sources may be voices in his head, but he has access to them, and the Rokers of the world don’t. Access.

your feelings are valid == you are allowed to feel what you feel
your feelings are valid =/= whatever actions you take based purely on your emotions is reasonable and right
your feelings are valid. that doesn't mean your understanding of a situation is correct; it doesn't mean you haven't misunderstood something; it doesn't mean you have the right to hurt someone else because you feel hurt, or unhappy, or sad, or angry, even if they obviously 'deserve it for how they made you feel
your feelings are valid; you are not wrong for feeling whatever way you feel. But just because you feel something doesn't make it true

I’d go against the 1Q84 recs because it is one of his longest and you’re just thinking of trying him out. Wild Sheep Chase is shorter, a decent representation of his style, and has less of his paper thin characterization of women than 1Q84.

Going forward, the US National Science Foundation research budget for all atmospheric, ocean, and Earth sciences is $110 million per year. Trump's illegal war with Iran cost the Department of Defense (i.e., the American taxpayers) $38 billion in the first 5 months, or $220 million per day.

That’s basically the joke. Many millennials watched it with their kids and liked it more than the kids, or heard from friends with kids about it and just straight up watched it on their own.

Got served an ad about Meta “betting on people” and being pro-AI. In the background it played Five Years by Bowie. And I can’t decide if there was some edgelord saying “no, guys, it’s actually brilliant” in a meeting or if they’re just a bunch of stupid fucking assholes, but I’m betting on assholes.

A Labor Day reminder: having a job is no longer enough to protect millions of Americans from homelessness. For many workers, the greatest threat isn't losing their job. It's that their job will never pay enough, never provide enough hours, never offer enough stability to keep them housed.

There was a deeply pervy undercurrent to most of that generation of science fiction authors. And as they aged it came more and more to the forefront of their books.
