Ahh Hyperion. I've reread three books/series ever: Dhalgren. Lord of Light and the Hyperion/Endymion cantos. Simply wonderful.

Red Rising is good. Memory Called Empire was ok. Project Hail Mary is quietly waiting on my to read shelf.

This is already the plot of Parable of the Shower by Octavia E Butler. It does not end well.

I remember actually cutting analogue tape and using sticky tape to repair the join when cropping audio in the studio. Now it's just a symbol of a pair of scissors.

It seemed so easy at the time.

Now, with increasing online division and polarisation we're getting further and further away from that dream.

A nice hot cup of char with a separate little jug of milk and sugar to taste. Oh, and a little spoon. Lovely

We went to see The Lion King. Over £50 a ticket. The woman sat next to us was doomscrolling Instagram the whole performance.

This is exactly the kind of thinking that the (notoriously (and institutionally) racist) Met used.

I prefer to differentiate between conspiracy theory and cover up. One we're unsure about, cover ups we know exist far to frequently and especially when there's a commercial or ideological pressure to do so.
