I go on LinkedIn when I want to kill time but don't want to be happy about it.

Today marks a very special day in science fiction literature. May I present to you, "There Will Come Soft Rains" by Ray Bradbury:

Today is August 4, 2026: the day described in Ray Bradbury’s short story on the future of automation (among other things) “There Will Come Soft Rains.” #scifi #writing #booksky

"Today is August 4, 2026," said a second voice from the kitchen ceiling, "in the city of Allendale, California." It repeated the date three times for memory's sake. There Will Come Soft Rains, Ray Bradbury's melancholy obituary for a dead world, is set today.

woke this morning with a text from my son informing me that today is the day from "There Will Come Soft Rains" and a clip from this 1984 Uzbek animation youtu.be/4oxP3TyuQx0?...

40 years ago this week, my nemesis Bleecker Bob sold me the first copy off the plane from London of this dreadful LP. Unlike all of the other imports that Bleecker Bob mocked me for buying from him during this era, his low opinion of this one was accurate and his mockery was entirely deserved.

I’m glad the Canadian media is finally starting to turn on Carney, but this should’ve happened over a year ago. Everything Carney is doing was 100% predictable. I’m so sick of mainstream media being complicit until it’s safe to be critical. The media is always too late to the actual fucking story.

Wikipedia remains one of the most useful things online. No subscription fees, no ads, no stupid pursuit of AI, all curated by relentless nerds. Maybe remember to throw them a few bucks every now and again.

The Luddites loved technology. They owned looms at home and would ‘mod’ them to count threads. Their battle was against worker exploitation. The degradation of their rights, safety and wages. They were against a handful of rich businessmen owning the means of production. Sound familiar?

final girl: I know it's cliché but we have to split up and search for the witch's bones. We're running out of time. nerdy guy: I reaaally don't like this... guy who has a fetish for walking into cobwebs: I'll check the basement and attic.

You are not running for office you are just some guy. Say what you think and do not step into a hole your enemy has dug for you for free.

Hey look there goes Mr. Reasonable. The dumb fuck.

tonight, I am mystified by the apparently global impulse to return to the thing/person/situation causing pain/distress, particularly online where the option to fully disconnect exists blocking, muting, even starting over entirely are all reasonable options & alternatives to repeatedly crashing out

I wrote about how feelings behave a lot like quantum phenomena, how emergence of agency is probably consciousness, and how maybe agency is the critical key to our collective causal futures. she-what.ghost.io/schrodingers...

Happy long weekend, Canada! The pace of life is frenetic. The market will grind you into dust. The news is a churn of wretched comings and goings. Here's a short post and reminder that you deserve and have permission to read more books. www.davidmoscrop.com/p/the-long-w...
