"And all shall fade, the flowers of spring The world and all the sorrow At the heart of everything" Spring Awakening was such a big part of my high school life and still stays with me always. RIP Duncan Sheik.

Many historians date the end of the Roman Empire to the Goths' sacking of Rome, and I think it would be poetic if the American Empire came to an end when the goths, punks, and hip-hop-heads conquer the current kakistocracy.

ICYMI! Reading for the Hugo Awards? Try the short story "Six People to Revise You" by J. R. Dawson @jrdawson.bsky.social! It is a Best Short Story Nebula Award Finalist and placed 1st on the Uncanny Poll! You can read it here! buff.ly/11bbtEg
The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 62, “Mermay - Golden Hour" by Maxine Vee: In a forest of brown, orange, and golden leaves, a mermaid with orange/gold hair sits on a rock in a small light blue pond. She stares at her open palms, illuminated by a beam of sunlight. Purple flowers in shade lie scattered on the ground in the foreground. The quote reads: "The form is one page long. No back. Just a front. It should be longer. There are six copies of the form, all different colors. Like I’m working my way through the rainbow to the end where I’ll finally find peace. Red. A parent or guardian. I meet my mother for lunch at the little bistro down the street."

Indies are producing the most unique, interesting work out there not because they aren't trying to make money, but because they (we) have nothing to lose. However, how many times they can take that chance is dependent on money. We're churning innovation, and there are a lot of dead ends.

There is no punk rock AI. To be into AI is to wed yourself to the worst billionaires in the world. And I think this makes the AI people crazy. You just can’t be into it and not be a shill for a corporation. You can’t be into AI and be cool. And it makes them all bitter weirdos.

"Not only don't people work less when they are guaranteed an income, they might actually put in more effort at work. And the fact that they have more money to spend leads to the creation of more jobs." Nobel Prize–winning economists Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo
Screenshot of a Wall Street Journal opinion article titled “A Guaranteed Income Won’t Stop People From Wanting to Work,” by Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo. A subheading says evidence from programs around the world suggests basic income does not make recipients lazier. Below the headline is a photo of several women sitting outdoors at a table working.
