Holy smokes I just read maybe the best #SciFi short story ever. Written in 1959 by Stanislaw Lem, "The Friend" (newly translated into English) seamlessly moves from human to AI narration and back in a dizzying, psychedelic explosion of language, imagery, and metaphor that breaks all narrative convention and feels a century ahead of its time.

I go one further and use website-specific email addresses at a domain I own every time I sign up for something. Always illuminating to see which ones show up in spam.

I was just interviewed at length about Napster by three South Korean teens at Seoul International School. They asked better questions—and follow-ups—than almost any journalist ever has.

My brother was a lawyer in this SEC crypto fraud unit until Trump took over. He'd never tell me details of his work, but he said the level of grift and fraud was astounding, and he really felt like he was protecting the American people.

Donald fucking Trump wants to go to a football game in Baltimore so they SHUT DOWN EVERY ROAD AND HIGHWAY AROUND THE CITY until his plane lands and he gets to the stadium. It's been over half an hour.
What an asshole.

Imagine having a billion dollars and wasting your time doing anything other than:
1. Reading novels in the bath
2. Making art
3. Traveling
4. Cooking and eating
5. Giving heaps of cash to awesome people and institutions who need it

But the article fails to mention the sustained right wing propaganda campaign against #HigherEd that almost certainly plays a role as well.
FYI FWIW I make *less* than a professor with my title made a generation ago.
