I think it's fine if literature departments stay focussed on studying political imaginaries, but we should open small departments called like 'the department of people who do think the arts are almost supernatural and wanna talk about the arts from that POV'

i am kind of obsessed with the idea of software becoming so abundant and open and malleable that you can just reuse and recycle anything for anything else. file my taxes in silent hill, write a novel in melee, fly an airplane in microsoft excel, video chat with minesweeper

Hello world! We’re @MelodyFRO. Most wearables don’t go far beyond heart rate and activity. Lab diagnostics paint a deeper picture but don’t read continuously. Melody is building biosensors, devices, and standards to bridge this gap. Hear our story at melodyfro.org

I was just looking at Authentic Roman Nails in the museum at Chester and thinking, this is the shit they crucified my Lord with. I remember just after my dad died I could infer from the demeanour of hospice workers that it was a quotidian occurrence with no supernatural dimension

In a very real sense, the end goal of a lot of what we're building is an embodied "reflex" of sorts, akin to the sense that here/now, one can search/prompt for quite a lot of information if they needed to — we're interested in facilitating a reflex of knowing everything is alive
