People need to read theory!

"Colonization" is so much more than "people show up and take your land away." It's a whole world view that turns networks into hierarchies, people and places into resources, and exploits an edge for the benefit of a center.

One of my favorite pieces of writing is Rilke's letters to his wife about a Cézanne exhibition

“I had taken the elevator to the nothingth floor of the Surfing Hilton” is amazing

Just spent ten minutes wandering around the house saying to myself “Where is my Rilke? Where the *eff* is my Rilke??” before finding this

Can’t stop thinking about Barry Lyndon

“Yeah sure man, every angel is terrifying totally, but for whom won’t the night be there?”

“for whom won’t the night be there”

Surprised The Weather Channel still exists in its same form. Haven't had cable in forever so I expected them to rebrand to some BS like Weathr with a companion streaming platform called Weathr+
