Ohh good! I've been waiting for this to be a book and now it is a book. Check out Rogue Astronaut by @mitchelljacobs
ALT Foreplay Oh, his sweet, small cuss. "Shit, sorry I kneed you," he said, pausing to check for a bruise. "I know you need me," I grinned, having never been sexy, only clever, even if it meant bending the truth. Then he pressed his fist to my chest, kneading me. Sometimes when I am dead to language I remember this.

Doesn’t have to be through an oral examination but I am convinced that everyone in academia could stand to be asked “What do you mean by that word? What does that phrase mean?” way more often.
Ah yes, inspired by the picture of architects eating lunch up on a steel beam, the picture that famously dramatized how architects bravely risk their lives every day
2025 was the year when artificial intelligence’s full potential roared into view, and when it became clear that there will be no turning back.
For delivering the age of thinking machines, for wowing and worrying humanity, for transforming the present and transcending the possible, the Architects of AI are TIME’s 2025 Person of the Year. time.com/7339685/person-of-t…

"I'd close my eyes and imagine the butcher's glass, // choosing a cut of marbled pork, the cold weight handed to me / from the scale"
Also I think I really am going to try this envisioning the grocery store trick to pass time
Once I was at a diner and "Margaritaville" was playing on the jukebox and the waitress said "This should be the national anthem"
Just preordered this beaut!

Adrienne Rich writing over 30 years ago, but also for today
When you know what's in the public domain, it attunes you how it shapes what we see at the book store. It's more than just volunteer efforts like Project Gutenberg and Standard Ebooks, where you can download entire books for free. It's business. [1/15]
That would leave someone like Agatha Christie, who published her first book at 30 and lived to 85, only 5 years without the rights to that book. Keep in mind that her last book, under current law, will not enter the public domain until 2072, 96 years after her death. [14/15]
