Jim Thompson was one of the greatest stylists of all time, should be taught in more creative writing classes

as long as one doesn't mind being an engineer who doesn't vote or hold any particularly important opinions on culture and humanity, yeah it’s basically optional

This shit has been on my mind a lot lately, particularly w/r/t AI execs saying “there’s a 10% chance AI will kill us all” and actively embrace gov’t regulation. They don’t believe that, obviously. But they know that people will try to use AI for things like air traffic control…

there's an account on the old bird site called @25YearsAgoLive which has been live-tweeting news from 25 years ago in real time for a few years now. The anticipation re: today has been palpable, the author has been preparing for months. The right tower is starting its collapse x.com/25YearsAgoLive

The antenna of the North Tower begins visibly sinking into the top of the building.

A general evacuation is ordered from around the area, though there are still immobile injured who need help.

Firefighters and paramedics reluctantly pull back, with one remarking “it’s gonna go.”

I think this guy nailed it. and I feel a bit dumb and naive for thinking that social media in one form or another was kind of the final form of online life. At least I was right about it not being anything like “the metaverse”…

idea for a movie: an Austin Powers-style parody of James Bond films, but he’s California Guy. That's the title. He’s still a spy, this is his day-to-day, but he goes undercover in a bowling shirt and a Von Dutch cap, or Alo menswear disguised as a yoga instructor. He reports to Gavin Newsom.

I once got in this bizarre argument over sexual content in The Muppet Show. I pointed out to someone that the “a mahna-mahna” song was from a Swedish softcore smut flick. Friend was shocked, “Henson must have been furious!” and I’m like, what? He probably picked it. www.polygon.com/the-muppet-sho…
