Musk's internal monologue: "I shall walk imperially through the halls of power for this photo, like an 18th century duke, and then I shall cast my gaze upon you, little photo-person. Do not weep in the presence of my greatness but love me... from a distance."
"Would you believe that the entire ebook marketplace – including Kindle, iBooks, and thousands of ebook stores – depends on the volunteer work of about a dozen people?"
It was 3°C this morning... no summer or holiday mood, I'm afraid.
Work in the study at home in 13° max with no heating cos I'd be losing 90% of the heat to no insulation cos AUS builds like it's the 1840ies in England.

Sorry to hear about the deficits of Australian architecture. I totally understand that it is hard to have summer feelings under these conditions.
But we have loads of evidence of #emdiplomats who complain about the rain, cold and the wheather in general. So, you are in good company. 😉
I've been reading The Coming Wave by Mustafa Suleyman. He's not saying it outright, but I'm hearing him say that we're headed for corporate power explicitly replacing nation-states, governing the areas where they operate and protecting only their needs and employees. I really don't want to live in a Cyberpunk world. It's not a good one.
@DejahEntendu@bookstodon Yeah, and the trauma was being betrayed by the girl who gave him his first "adult" experience. Not being shot in the head. So it's just weird.
This is the end of the "official questions" hour. Please feel free to keep
chatting on these topics and #Writephant hashtag throughout the week! I'll hang
out a bit more and check back throughout the week.
For now, it's self-promotion time! What links, pieces of writing, art, and so
forth would you like people to see in this chat? Post as many as you like within
the character limit!
I'm doing something I never thought I'd get to do again. I'm specifically fundraising for a woman to head the Democratic ticket and to be the next President of the United States. I want to do this with all of you here on #Mastodon, so I've created a fundraising page specifically for us: #MastodonForHarris. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris 1/
