Ten easy steps to fascism from the Guardian, and how America is heading along that road. Naomi Wolf article; very interesting and kinda scary.
China Mieville talks about fantasy and geekery.
"When I was moving into my new house a few years ago we were having all our kitchen stuff delivered and my then-partner got off the phone, turned to me and said 'the fridge men are coming,'" explains Miéville. "Now, it seems to me that there are two kinds of people: those that hear that sentence and think 'oh good, delivery of the white goods', and then there's those people who imagine a kind of enormous cyborg thing..." Miéville trails off. There's absolutely no doubting which camp he falls into."
Hee. I'm in that camp too.
Quantum physicists say Reality does not exist when we're not looking at it. This is obviously because I'm wearing my Schrodinger's Cat t-shirt.

I watched it last night. Some very interesting developments...
..I want it to be next week now. Damn.
No we're about it. Nothing exists unless I'm observing it. Mmmm, solipsism.
It's on the NBC website now, though. Yay!
Wow, and I thought literary theory was abstract.
