Band name of the day: fish repairs
Lately I've been seeing a lot of cold takes by people who think they're hot. Like, long-form explanations of how "you aren't required to agree with film criticism" and "reading should be a pleasurable, low-pressure activity". Am I just disconnected?
Band name of the day: electric gremlin
Bad idea of the day: Evangelion fanfiction in the form of Kaji's hand-annotated copy of a Fire in the Valley style popular history of the development of Tokyo-3, casting Gendo as an Elon Musk type figure.
I'm currently streaming the last push on developing Manna for our Malices, the game I've been working on for 1.5 years: https://www.twitch.tv/enkiv2

Band name of the day: bespoke ennui
We can try to define intellectual constructs as having 'nothing but essence' but maybe we should take a page out of Guy Debord's book and say they are 'nothing but appearance'. They can appear in contradictory ways because there's no underlying structure.
Band name of the day: rejecting the natural
Band name of the day: the becoming-electron
Band name of the day: a politics for alienation
Band name of the day: small crimes
Band name of the day: adorable ice cream crisis
People have said to me that an electron *is* a probability distribution. Is this true, a simplification, an artifact of measurement, misleading, a nomenclature issue, or what?
Band name of the day: the ends of sleep
The 'if Y is every X then Y is no X' snowclone is rarely true, and when it *is* true, there's often nothing wrong with the resulting state...
I love books about the history of tech, but no matter how well-researched, they're typically mostly a documentation of tech's mythology (or some countermythology). I prefer the countermythographies.
