It's so stupid that this is only the second PKD book I've read. Extremely my speed. This is what I want scifi to read like.

Great fun, engaging story but I really don't like how this is written. Feels tailored for a particular kind of reddit guy or xkcd reader. Dialogue like he was preparing for a Hollywood adaption - which I'm even more excited to see then before reading it so that's definitely a plus for the book

This was a hard book. Very glad to have the homies to help me through it. I can't imagine having to go through this without having read Anti-Oedipus but also I can't wait to read AO again because I can't figure out how I made it through it without D&R.

He's going to create an endless fractaline spiral wherein every mission involves sitting down at the computer and making a game whose character is *actually* happy and enjoying life, but who can only think to prompt the creation of another game.

@nikitabier

Hello computer.

Decompile and distill Grand Theft Auto. Make the game set in my hometown -- use Google Earth to reconstruct it in pixel-perfect detail.

Make the character me and have my spawn point be in the mansion I always look at on Zillow.

Review my chat memory and make every mission about my hopes and dreams. Make it playable online so my friends can

join.

When you're done, sell all my video games on Ebay and use that money to fund tokens for my next game.

I'm not a big art book guy and I don't get too many superfluous gifts for myself, but I'm fascinated enough by the film that I took the plunge and I'm glad I did because this is a very cool collection. There are a couple pieces from the film I wish had made it in the book for closer inspection, alas

Difference and Repetition is hard so this was pretty great but mostly I got a kick out of what Somers-Hall latched on to versus what the lads I'm reading this with discuss every week.

That's not to suggest these men lack a flare for the erotic
A SOLDIER'S LOVE
To say that these texts were entirely devoid of eroticism would be
untrue. Although descriptions of love scenes may be rare, they nonetheless
occur. Hellwig, Dwinger's student, for instance, has a sweetheart:
. . . tentatively he drew his fingers across the surface of her
breast, wondering at the easy, full-blooded pulsing of the power-
ful arteries underneath.'
His sweetheart has "soft lips" and a "sinewy body."
Kossarew, an immigrant Russian anti-Bolshevist serving in the same
Freikorps, "sucks" the lips of a loved one in a kiss, while his own lips bring
forth
the rapid sounds of all manner of caresses. In a silent exchange,
he drinks in the breath of his beloved and tenderly offers her his
own.2
Another soldier with his beloved:
"How warm you are," he said with devotion, "how full of life,
how sweet your breathing. . . . What comes after you will not
be breathing; it will be cold forever. .. . It will be like this,
the way I feel it now, in this silent moment when I can feel your
breath."The use of expressions such as "arteries" and "full-blooded" may
already have alerted attentive readers to the fact that the love objects in all
three of these cases are horses. The first shows a student with an officer's
horse:

Fascinating and devastating. I knew the broad strokes of Jones's life but there is so much more. The victims were trying to do something beautiful and truly awesome in scope but, unfortunately, it probably takes a particular kind of crazy person to bring that out of so many people.

Which brings us to a figure published Sept. 16 that the market barely registered. Global emissions from fossil fuels are set to fall by roughly 0.5% this year, according to Carbon Brief.

That would be the first annual decline since the pandemic year of 2020. No treaty producedBsky post by me: [trump, responding to reporters] many people are talking about this, many smart people, they're calling it degrowth

Picture of Zizek next to the quote: in today’s market, we find a whole series of products deprived of their malignant property: coffee without caffeine, cream without fat, beer without alcohol . . . And the list goes on: virtual sex as sex without sex, the art of expert administration as politics without politics, up to today’s tolerant liberal multiculturalism as an experience of the Other deprived of its disturbing Otherness.

Also I think every piece of AI art produced after this is ugly as sin. So, while I don't think you're a fascist for making art with AI, I don't think your sense of aesthetics is any better than one.

This is a much stupider book. An absurd amount of it is just watching things in the high hide and people pontificating. Crichton's weird, reactionary beliefs show themselves a little more clearly and it also reads like a book he was forced to write at gunpoint.

I found someone's homemade version of the audiobook on Spotify. The audio quality is all over the place and lots of sentences get repeated but they're doing the voice acting as if they were voiced by the actors from the film which was very funny.

Sorry I didn't crop the screenshot. Mea culpa
Brooks Otterlake @i_zzzzzz.

Try to actually game this out mathematically. If John calls George to tell him about the show, does he expect George to call Ringo? Or does George assume he's already called him? And which one of them tells Paul?

Brooks Otterlake @i_ZZZZZz. 

It's an endlessly exploding matrix of possibilities. And somehow they figured it out every time.

I'm not picking on this person in particular but this is a sentiment that I keep seeing from people I imagine should know better. It's so fucked up that most USian's history education stops at WWII and if it does get any further, our occupation of the Korean peninsula is completely glossed over.
