Well this is nice. I'm glad there's signs of life from them. Hopefully they can make updates a bit more frequent from now on.
Is there anything this wunderkind can't invent‽
Dracula by Bram Stoker. Never read it before. I did see the 1992 movie adaptation, but that was a long time ago.
He didn't leave, he just went on to invent metal.
God, I hate that meme format so much. It adds absolutely fucking nothing. It's insufferable.
Off the top of my head some shorter books:
Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol, Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis, Post Office by Charles Bukowski, Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess, Fathers and Sons by Ivan Turgenev, Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie, The Hammer of God by Arthur C. Clarke.
Dave Grohl's speech at Lemmy Kilmister's funeral is beautiful though.
The Shards by Bret Easton Ellis. I'm liking it a lot so far. It's undeniably Ellis, but he also feels more open and honest this time around. Maybe he's getting old and more comfortable in his own skin.
People trying to have long-form discussions on Twitter/X has baffled me since the beginning. It is decidedly not the right platform for that and it was never designed to be. In fact, its design clearly discourages any meaningful discourse. I have never been able to wrap my head around that site and its users.
The interface is a bit bare bones and 90's but I like it that way. It's a good and reliable client.
I'm reading a book on grief. Grief has been an important part of my life for a good long time now, but last year has been difficult. And things will only get worse in the next few years. I suppose I'm bracing myself, even if I know it doesn't help much.
