Everyone I know here in the US is in a state of prolonged grieving for our nation and our world. The ambient level of anxiety and stress is so high that little hassles become major problems, and major problems become catastrophes. Everything feels broken, and nobody knows how to fix it.

Holy smokes I just read maybe the best #SciFi short story ever. Written in 1959 by Stanislaw Lem, "The Friend" (newly translated into English) seamlessly moves from human to AI narration and back in a dizzying, psychedelic explosion of language, imagery, and metaphor that breaks all narrative convention and feels a century ahead of its time.

I went out clubbing in Moscow with some gay Russians in 2011, and let me tell ya, the scene was amazing. It’s so depressing to think that Putin has driven it all underground and sent people fleeing across the globe since then.

Click fraud is one of the oldest scams on the internet, and it's great to see RBX taking Spotify to task for turning a blind eye to it.
