Here’s to the memory of Atlantis, gone down ~12,000 or ~17,000 years ago, depending on who you talk to.

Dangerous Visions - went on an Ellison/Delany spree after. Delany lasted.
Tanith Lee - Birthgrave
Gibson’s Neuromancer - of course
Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson - it has spaceships.
Lessing’s Shikasta - I know David Hartwell snorted at that one!

The iOS weather app used to be accurate within minutes but it’s been getting worse and worse since….changes. Right now, the app says it’s raining but I look out the window and it’s sunny.

I like to think it’s practice for more collective action. Being able to selectively manipulate someone’s numbers is a useful skill.

Yeah, Target Analytics was saying that GenX conservatism was going to change things 20 years ago. Fourth Turning and everything.

This book is seriously brilliant. Stunned my Tanith Lee- and Iliad-loving heart.
