Lots of boring accounting and excel sheets today.
But made a little somethin' somethin' for my special lady, which brought me much joy:

Bryan Johnson on eliminating death in an interview for the Interesting Times podcast. The irony is that it is so obviously a terrible way to live. But Ross Douthat really is an exceptional interviewer.
Shelfies #100: Jared Shurin – The sight of Jared's identical and perfectly shelved journals brings me so much inner peace and seething jealousy.
Random thought: The whole simulation theory thing that seems to be increasingly trendy these days actually isn't at all at odds with any of the traditional religious beliefs of old, the ones that imagined god as an anthropomorphized king on a throne in the clouds. Because simulation theory by definition implies the entire universe being created by someone somewhere. The anthropomorphized king in this case being a computer programmer. The throne: an ergonomic chair. Which, if you think about it, just so happens to be this decade's flavor of king.

Did a fun collab with Dominic Boyer for the delightfully demented Elon Magazine, which I should be able to tease soon.
Tomorrow I prepare my Dresden presentation and take care of some admin.
Season 1 and 2 of SILO were good. Season 3 is frustratingly dumb because the main character now has amnesia and we follow her unravel the shocking mystery of what happened to her over the last two seasons, which we, as viewers, already know.

No art-dealer for larger works, no literary agent, and certainly no film/TV agent. Most of my dealings have been conducted as a “free agent” so to speak, which, quite frankly, I would like to change, because I am now spent af.

The latest newsletter finally went out. This is issue #235: Can't Stop Won't Stop.
As always, sign up lives here.
Recently, I had to turn down working with a novelist I admire. He had a fantastic idea for a graphic novel; an exhilarating historical epic that would need at least 500 pages to unfold and probably another 10 years of my life to make. Mind-blowing and attractive as the concept was, I am sadly way too burnt out after THE SOLAR GRID to plunge into anything that elaborate anytime soon.
