How many of you think we’re living in a poorly written satire? Why not read a well-written satire instead? For instance—in The Splendid City, Texas has seceded from the U.S. and is ruled by a man who insists on daily parades, cars that roam the streets taking people away

Years ago I read "The Encounter" by Petru Popescu, about Loren Mcintyre's travels in the Amazon. He ended up staying with an "uncivilized" tribe while on his own. They take his sneakers and his watch while he's sleeping and burn them. In response, See less

An FB memory: I went to a thing at the Museum of Natural History, on neuroscience. I found out that mouse and rat brains are flat not folded (!). I also played a sort of Jeopardy game -- and I discovered that MY brain has slowed down to a terrible crawl. This has been both interesting and awful.

Betty Tuch's Lit Mag News discusses The Fathoms, a new magazine publishing only AI-generated work. Its editorial staff consists of an AI program evaluating submissions and choosing content.
