Author, utopia seeker, that one quiet guy who nerds out at the drop of a book
pinned post!
DRACULA awakes from slumber in 1942 to find the Nazis storming across Europe, his brides drenched in dreams of destroying the patriarchal war-sickness of men, and an ancient, cursed relic in the hands of a newborn Polish vampire.

The global economy is dependent on advertising products that the majority of people won’t be able to afford. Where I’m from that’s called a house of cards.

Sometimes it really gets to me. The knowledge that we spend all this time trying to make all this money, when in a blink of an eye we’ll be gone from this earth. Look how fast the years go by now. It’ll be over before we know it. Is the relentless pursuit of money worth our time left?

Why do we have consciousness only to then just die? It makes it the most powerful gift in the universe: that knowing, that ultimate responsibility for the struggle and fate of life is your life itself.

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks

Trump and Xi meet and agree on a lot of things... What if countries joined together? Like the fucking Avengers. If we all stopped fighting and joined together, 95% of the world's problems would be fixed in a month. It's a myth that war brings innovation. It was always peace.

Who here wants a paradigm shift? And I’m not just talking like the dawn of the internet. I’m talking one we haven’t seen in 600 years. End of feudalism, beginning of capitalism type stuff. The proverbial big one. The massive wave. I feel like we can all sense it coming...

AI can never replicate the human condition (at least not now - maybe in some sci-fi future). The question is: we’re about to have a biblical flood of mediocre content and books. And the market is already flooded. What can we do? How do we proceed?
