when they put out the complete Farside in paperback they went with three volumes, as a nod to the success of the complete CH collection. But I guess they still are not competing. The hardcover 2 volume will provide you with endless fun but it is a beast.

Review: How β€˜Data’ Channels the Shock of Right Now

I saw a play last night www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/t... it was pretty on point for the moment, but it also got me to realize we are in tech's 'post ping pong table' age. Curious when that begins? I would say 2013-14? earlier? later?

Indeed. When things go bad, who will the MAGA cult blame? So many bad actors locked and loaded and ready to execute on this 'framing.'

Met a guy at a bar recently who is running an "AI automated thought leadership" venture for busy Tech execs who need to regularly sound off on LinkedIn.

we have watched, in real time, people *being seduced by or blundering into Nazi discourse* as a result of staying on X. There may be an argument for public figures staying on there for reach, it is a bad sign for private figures to do so.
