In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.
KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.
His reply was a doozy.

Saw Vonnegut onstage in '83 and he did his "graphic representation of plots" thing then. The Kafka Curve is quite something.
The science of storytelling with author and humanist Kurt Vonnegut 😅❤️
Kurt was born #OnThisDay 1922.

Just went to make a cup of tea and there was a circulatory system just wandering around the kitchen like it owned the place. I'm speaking to the landlord about this.

Absolutely right. I criticise BBC News, because we need it to be as good as we know it can be. People like Farage criticise the BBC, because they work for its competitors and don't want it to exist.
🎯 Davey is spot on. "We can have criticism of the BBC, but within that, we need to recognise how valuable an institution it is [and how] precious to our country. And that's one of the reasons why people like President Trump and Nigel Farage, want to undermine the BBC." 👏🏽~AA

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.
Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

This. Tesla is a mid-sized car company with a valuation build on hype and lies, an ageing range of models, facing tough competition from multiple places and with a CEO a large proportion of potential customers actively hate.
"with 1 trillion dollars, Elon Musk could-"
He doesn't have one trillion dollars. He's not going to have one trillion dollars. The company promising to give him one trillion dollars isn't worth one trillion dollars. It's not going to be worth one trillion dollars.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Watching DOCTOR WHO "The Faceless Ones" (1967), one cannot help but wonder what might have been if Pauline Collins had accepted the offer to become a regular. I suspect the writers might have tried to make Samantha Briggs less abrasive, but I also suspect Collins might have had opinions about that.
RIP Pauline Collins 03/09/1940 - 06/11/25 She played Samantha Briggs in Dr Who The Faceless Ones & Queen Victoria in Tooth & Claw.
Her image was also used for a painting of Queen Victoria in Empress of Mars.
