If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent

The formatting of this Beckett quote does still represent resilience and determination, just of a very different sort.

A neon light art piece of Samuel Beckett's famous quote "I can't go on. I'll go on" but spaced - it would seem inadvertently- so that it reads "I can't goon. I'll goon".

Rick Moranis as nerdy accountant Louis Tully in Ghostbusters (1984).

The horned, fangy demon dog Louis gets turned into later in Ghostbusters. Or else this is the one that gets Sigourney Weaver? I think they’re pretty much the same. If you know which is which keep it to yourself.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Also can we stop treating men who sexually assault women as some kind of unstoppable natural phenomenon like a hurricane or deep water and quit suggesting that if women want to stay safe it’s on them to manage their safety The men are the problem

Heroism *sucks* for individuals. It's burning your soul in a pyre of social commitment. It does you damage. It's not a role you should take on, long term. We need heroes, because social change doesn't happen without them. But we need to look after them, too. And we need to let them fucking rest.

Formal affordances are the elements that pull a player toward certain actions, they “cry out” for the player to take those actions. Material affordances are the actions a system actually allows the player to take. Agency occurs when the two are in balance. (Mateas 2001)

This poll from Cook is bonkers. A *huge* plurality of voters (43% overall, 61% of Ds) want Dems to focus on changing the political system overall vs. just opposing (21%, 36% of Ds) or working with Trump (35%, 3% of Ds).
