This is not the first time I've encountered this idea and someone (probably not me) definitely needs to write the novel. Gotta make it a fixit fic where Odysseus doesn't go on a murder spree tho
ODYSSEUS: wife I am home after 20 years
PENELOPE: oh shit I mean honey you are home how wonderful
ODYSSEUS: who are all these strange men
PENELOPE: well, I'll tell you what they're definitely not, which is a 300 person polycule ruling in your absence

Currently dorking out over this graph about child mortality with my brother. Just mind boggling to take in.

Probably going to skip the Sweet Potato Creme Brulee Latte since I had the Creme Brulee Souffle Pancakes and am now vibrating at a frequency only bats can hear
Our last meal in Gyeongju was brunch this morning at a pancake place. Souffles and Dutch Baby option on the menu. We got one of each.
Might have diabetes now.

You might laugh at the bedrooms that are bathtubs. Or the doors installed laying down rather than vertical.
But the multi-tub bathroom thing is real. I've seen it. And you should, too. bsky.app/profile/wand...

Leaving Korea today on an overnight ferry to Osaka.
This may be my last chance to get a Sweet Potato Creme Brulee Latte from Mega Coffee!
(Busan and Seoul are absolutely saturated with coffee shops and Mega Coffee is one the more ubiquitous and down-market brands.)

I read avidly but very often books that are at least 10 years old. So I'd love some more recent recs of authors who aren't getting enough attention! Esp SFF
(Let's assume if they're racking up awards and/or are fandom darlings, I am already aware.)

In 25 years of teaching creative writing, by far and away the two most common traits I've seen among successful writers are that they read avidly and that they support other writers enthusiastically.

Anyone writing fiction set in modern Korea should consider your protagonists bumping into each other on the street while on their phones.
I have nearly run into an alarming number of people who randomly stopped in front of me, even in a crosswalk, to do something on their phone

One must KBBQ
The rib meat came with some ribs. I'm not sure if we were supposed to eat it or not, but as @linneaharts.bsky.social noted, "Why food shaped if not food?"
She also took these excellent photos of me gnawing the meat off the bone.

Some cool pottery from the Silla Kingdom (early medieval southern Korea). Gyeongju was their capital. The museum here has a very good walk through of the history and archeology

Out for a day of exploring in Gyeongju, and I'm not up for all the walking. So we picked up an electric mini cart.
It tops out at 30km/h and I'm pretty sure we took it on some roads that were not advised.

One of my big peeves is people talking probabilities of real things as if it matters outside a betting market.
A 60% chance of someone winning an election is meaningless except that a bookie with 100s of such bets will stay in business if they usually draw the line where they don't lose much money

It's a bad faith argument to confuse the means/tactics and the goal. A few means are never acceptable but many have their place.
J6 was wrong not because violent protest is always wrong but because they wanted to overturn democracy and install a fascist.

I get why people are reluctant to draw parallels between MeToo and the blacklist. MeToo is good; the blacklist was bad! good things and bad things aren't the same. consequences for sexual abusers is not the same as smearing people for fighting for justice. 1

Gyeongju is extremely cool. Down thread for a look inside the burial mound and a small and very well-done exhibit about the finds and the construction of the mound. Many layers of stone, wood, earth, pebbles
The historical temple complex is the main draw here, dating back 1500ish years.
The memorial mounds (or death boobies, if you will) were feats of engineering that ensured their security over the centuries. And now they're in a beautiful park area.

I am quite certain this is worse than it used to be, but I recall dating in my teens and early 20s (25-30 years ago 🧓) and mentally begging my dates to have AN SINGLE INTEREST. Young people can be very dull, is what I'm saying
When I ask them: "What are you reading? What are you watching? What are you listening to?" Often, the answer is: nothing. Which has a direct effect on their over-use of prompts and AI, because they can't think of ideas, because they are literally not engaging with a single figurative thing.

Click through for pictures of the grilled seafood but no abalone I promise
An absurd amount of food. And the grill surface on the table was a bit too small to handle it effectively. But we got it done.
Also, I do not recommend the giant mussels. 😱

Busan is a seafood town. So for lunch we had seafood. All of the seafood.
And some pork for good measure.

Today in Songdo beach. We also went to a grilled seafood restaurant which was basically KBBQ but for shellfish. Lemme tell you for free that you do not want to see an abalone cook on a grill
Riding the Songdo cable car in Busan. Paid a few extra Won for the clear floor option. Plus views of and from the silly suspension bridge lookout point nearby.

This is a very interesting book about quantum physics but also, and even more so, about how important the philosophy of science is to doing good science, and how even a supposedly rigorous science like physics is affected by cliques, big personalities, and prejudices
Or maybe try my first book, about the sordid untold history of quantum physics:
What Is Real?: The Unfinished Quest for the Meaning of Quantum Physics
