  • Girlbosses make their own coconuts, but they do not make them as they please; they do not make them under self-selected coconut trees, but under coconut trees existing already, given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all dead election cycles weighs like a nightmare on the hot button issues of the living.

    – Kamala Harris, Eighteenth of Brat Summer







  • Humans will be so different from life in space that they will be unable to communicate with it.

    So glad that there are sci-fi authors out there who actually put some thought into just how alien aliens would be. Even in some really good sci-fi, the differences between humans and various alien species seems to be, at most, some distinctive biological differences and cultural differences that can be conceptualized relatively easily by humans.

    I reckon that the universe is vast and unknown enough that “life” could arise such that humans wouldn’t be able to recognize or characterize it as life.











  • I’ve almost beaten Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines for the first time. I can see why it’s as revered as it is, because the game is excellent.

    There’s one line of dialog that stuck in my head as being really dumb though. I was talking to the Anarchs early in the game while trying to get the lay of the land for vampire politics. One of them said “Communism always fails for humans, but it would totally work for vampires”. Gotta love media from the 2000s.
