related: this morning ramsey and I concluded the key marker of a "good" musical is at least one mentally ill character and I feel like this overlaps with the john/lin theory

my theory of "john darnielle and lin manuel miranda are each others warios" remains undefeated

hearing lin manuel miranda doing backing vocals on the new mountain goats album and really thought "who's doing this corny lin manuel miranda impression"

niche academia question: is it normal to talk about the "metabolic rift" as Marx's concept or as Bellamy Foster's? I was taught it as a Marx idea but isn't it more accurate to call it an interpretation of Marx by a guy?

1135 / 9006 words and ooof, really running out of steam on this one but maybe that's fine

2091 / 7871 words on this chapter

@scruss yeah it seems like the rationales for adopting it in that era were basically "just in time production is the hot new thing, gotta surveill labor even if the tools for doing it kind of suck"

https://buttondown.com/perfectsentences/archive/perfect-sentences-145/ this week in sentences: tallest ghost, reification, merely, whaler, this level, WHO CARES, nostrils, live frogs, rice of the future, distinct, soybean, enchanting, the nothing they have, flesh, trash stratum, acceptable recuperation, surveymonkey

1679 today / 5870 words on chapter 2, halfway point wooo

Sure seems like there is no bottom to All This, huh

Also / I have submitted my revisions on chapter 4 / current word count for three chapters plus in progress is 40,918 which is much more manageable than nearly 40K words in just two chapters tbh

Today in the dissertation knowledge mines, found a 1993 article about using GPS for agriculture with the headline "From Desert Shield to soybean fields"

2166 / 4191 on this last chapter, hoping I can just crank it out over the next few days

I like that the Australian ISO country code used for their TLD is au because I can remember it by thinking "au naur"

1015 / starting the last full chapter, then it's just intro/conclusion, aieeee

thinking about making swag for frequent Perfect Sentences submitters, hope "perfect sentence sicko" is understood as a term of affection and appreciation

@scruss wow! that's amazing

@jamesbridle I didn't consent to BEING BORN and you're upset bc you didn't consent to your data being used for ads, we are not the same

@mjd basically all of the "value" of data in the digital ad system and the promise of data as this commodity that turns money into money (financialization) is based on vibes (speculation). The more that the means of making money happens via these abstract vibey processes, the wider the gap between the super rich and everyone else gets bc their wealth isn't tethered to everyday life economy stuff.

@mjd yeah, just a lot of revision which is harder to track word count on and is often more like having a big think than typing
