I thought this was just beautiful. Kurt Vonnegut takes a walk to mail a letter:

She calls out, “Where are you going?” And I say, “I am going out to get an envelope.” And she says, “Well, you’re not a poor man. Why don’t you buy a thousand envelopes? They’ll deliver them, and you can put them in a closet.” And I say, “Hush.”

I go next to the postal convenience center down the block at the corner of 47th Street and Second Avenue. The woman behind the counter says, “Thirty-nine cents for a stamp.” I say, “I only brought thirty-seven. When did that change?” She looked at me a long time. “Thirty-seven isn’t enough.” “Well that oughta be enough for one envelope,” I said. The line was getting longer.

The lady moved her hand into her coat. I knew this routine. I backflipped behind the man behind me in line, wrapping my elbow around his throat as I landed. By the time the stamp seller had unloaded her clip, I had full cover. The gentleman’s body dropped to the floor, six holes smoking. The package he was carrying fell to the floor with a heavy clunk. Whatever was in there, it would do.

I rolled my foot over the cardboard and did a “flick up” as they call it in soccer. I bounced the package once or twice on the back of my foot as the mail lady reloaded, then I launched it high and spun 360 to deliver my patented “Rising Phoenix kick”. The package caught fire as it shattered through the protective plexiglass window and struck the woman’s head with all the force and hatred I had learned to channel in my grueling tutelage under five fallen Wudang masters in my youth. The lady’s body exploded off of her bones, leaving just a blackened skeleton spinning in her office chair. “So it goes,” I said, but no one laughed. I guess they weren’t big readers.

And I go home. And I have had one hell of a good time.

We are dancing animals. How beautiful it is to get up and go out and do something. We are here on Earth to fart around. Don’t let anybody tell you any different.

Today marks a very special day in science fiction literature. May I present to you, "There Will Come Soft Rains" by Ray Bradbury:

THERE WILL COME SOFT RAINS
By Ray Bradbury

The computer house buzzed awake. “Good morning, everyone,” it said.

Mr. Raynes woke up. He gave a big stretch. His wife was a robot and said “It’s a beautiful day today, my dear.”

“Yes, Mrs. Raynes” said he.

A program ran inside of her cybernetic brain, or “cy-brain”. It calculated the weather and other things.

“It may rain tonight, darling,” the robot mistress of the household said to her master.

He was scrolling through his phone, which was not just a telephonic device, but one with a video screen that could broadcast information from any corner of the earth. There was one application called, ironically, “Blue sky” he was looking at.

“Goodness me,” he intoned, “today is a date of great import. I must be the first to virally post that a story about soft rains coming mentioned this very date!”

He continued to intone. “August 4, 2026. That is the date of today.”

“You will collect hundreds or maybe even … calculating, calculating … thousands of likes, my husband.”

“Oh, look,” he splurted out, walking to the window. A rain began to fall.

“Let us thank God the Father and Christ the Son at His right hand,” said his faithful electronic wife.

“In gratitude, Lord, we look to Thee as our protector. Guide us through dark times and fair. Lead us as a shepherd past the temptations of iniquity and sin, and shelter us your devoted from the wickedness of others until we may join Thee again at the Great Reunion in your kingdom of Heaven. Of Thee, this we pray. Amen,” said Mr. Raynes.

“Amen,” said his robot wife, whose “cy-brain” was connected to the computer house through a “wireless” information relay protocol.

They were both Episcopalian.

A comic diary of a dream I had:

CAPTION: What a sexy lady
A lady is saying "hey" to me.

CAPTION: I think I might have had sex with her before actually
The lady is laughing. She says "ha ha!"

CAPTION: That lady I'm thinking of had a tattoo... Hey! She has a tattoo! I bet this is her... just let me get a better look.
The lady has turned around and is looking back over her should and winking. We can see that she has a lower back tattoo.

CAPTION: No, this is a different lady
Close up on her lower back. The tattoo is of Cap'n Crunch and the words "Don't die."

impossible choice

3 floating CG objects, an iPhone, set of keys, and a teddy bear. A cursor floats nearby. Text: Choose Talisman. Your decision will affect certain
aspects of your journey going forward. Choose carefully!

The cursor hovers over the keys. Text: Possibility, mystery, intelligence, trust.
Snap! The sound of the last puzzle piece, finding its jagged home. A chord plucked by you alone, resourceful, singular, cerebral.
Is it a song you know?

The cursor hovers over the bear. Text: Bear. Childhood, nostalgia, comfort, dreams.
Do you long for whimsy, tea parties, and carefree spring days? Warm blankets in a cool room? A peck on the cheek? It can all be yours.

Now it hovers over the phone. Text: Phone. Bejeweled 2, maintenance man texts, 10 billion bacteria, anguish.
Feel bad in a new way every day. Stretch the contours of your ape brain over sharp corners it was never meant to understand.

Beautiful post

When God made horses...
He said, you will have a very special job.
Humans will confide in you, trust you, and respect your wisdom.
They will ask, am I just not good enough?
Am I unloved? Am I doomed to experience dark days forever?
And that is why you will say, neigh.

My daughter made up a bad cat called Katapoda. Katapoda was a bad cat who could not be reformed and had to be killed. She likes to hear stories about bad things Katapoda used to do, followed by reassurances that those things will not happen anymore now that Katapoda is dead.
