Biologically I can only sustain interest in novels by people who "Uh, probably had something going on there" so fortunately that means all the good ones

It is really depressing that "second world fantasy that marginally includes the concept of spaceships I guess" has taken over the concept of "sci-fi" like a zebra mussel infestation bc the PKD strategy of imagining a guy who has a weird job in the future is so easy to get an awesome payoff out of

I didn't feel much about Possessor beyond "JJL is hot" so was surprised how much Antiviral really worked for me. Proper sci-fi making weird extrapolations on existing issues and depicting people w/jobs that aren't "chosen one" or "feted genius scientist!"

Experimental post: The Duality of Whacka In the Switch version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Whacka can finally be fought, and has a suspiciously specific 108 HP. The game both offers a ridiculously simplistic explanation for this as well as a complex one steeped in Dharmic symbolism.
In Paper Mario, the original version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and Super Paper Mario, Whacka was just a harmless whack-a-mole creature that could be abused to get Whacka Bumps, extremely valuable healing items. After being hit enough times, the Whacka goes extinct, teaching the players the consequences of their actions. However, in the Switch version of Paper Mario: TTYD, he instead moves to the bottom of the Pit of 100 Trials and becomes an optional superboss with 108 HP.
He is fought at the bottom of the Pit of 100 Trials and has to be hit 8 times in order for the fight to activate.
but also
The number 108 is considered sacred by the Dharmic religions, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.
Whacka symbolizes karma for killing him in past games
ring the bell 108 times, per Japanese tradition? The ringing of the bell represents the 108 bonno-defilements of man..
Buddhism holds the view that there are precisely 108 temptations on the path to Nirvana.
Therefore, in order to reach Nirvana, every Buddhist must resist 108 earthly temptations.
With a combination of any of the elements of the above four factors, there are 108 ways with which the karmas can be attracted to the soul.
the earthly temptation to get those Whacka Bumps
There are 108 qualities of praiseworthy souls
Some people think that the human spirit travels through 108 stages, while others believe that enlightenment is attainable with just 108 breaths each day while in Intense meditation,
108 beads to awaken your inner light
Meditators count mantra repetitions with mala beads of 108, (100 counted for self, 8 for mistakes and for those who have not the opportunity to meditate in mantra)
108 breaths to return to your truth
108 mantras to dissolve ego into dever
108 steps from the self to the soul
The Sacred Meaning of 108 Temple Steps
the journey to Whacka is a journey of enlightenment

Coming soon to a tipsy monologue near you
Screenshot that I happened upon from a BBC article:

France's language watchdog has told government officials to use French fetish terms instead of Japanese ones.
The Académie Française today announced that French kinksters must use the term "maîtrise de la pisse" instead of the more widely-used Japanese loan word "omorashi".
France's culture ministry told the AFP news agency that linguistic borrowings were "a barrier to understanding".
But bladder control fetishists have criticised the ban, with one calling it "completely pointless".
France regularly issues warnings of the "debasement" of its language through imported foreign words.
Other official translations include "visage de la petite mort" for "ahegao".

breaks my heart when people respond to zine scams with long threads of "advice" boiling down to 1) don't make zines and 2) if you do, professionalize. genuinely think my advice would be the complete opposite. go smaller, go shittier, go more diy, and all of that will keep it manageable.
