š Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson
Iām not normally into fiction, never mind sci-fi, but lately Iāve been exploring.
Once I got past the first few chapters of dystopic pizza delivery confusion, I got totally sucked in.
Even if you are vaguely interested in whats happening with AI and the metaverse, I think youād enjoy this story. Its a SciFi thriller that explores ancient mythology and linguistics. So in short ā nerdy ā but extremely well written. I laughed out loud and couldnāt stop turning pages.

Iāve had a lot of Sourdough.
The Oats & Seeded is unequivocally the best Iāve ever had.
If youāve had better, pls let me know.

I am looking for a word from you.
Iāve combed the landscape of my body,
Iāve travelled its dark rivers.
Iāve looked under the cloud of my heart,
unraveled its complicated net of veins.
Iāve found plenty of blue material hereā

š« Grown men wearing flip flops pls stop
āTis the season of flip flops. If you are a man and you live in New York City, please do not ever wear these. Not even to the laundromat.
I do not understand why this is controversial.
(1) its horrendously unsanitary
(2) its evocative of slovenly unawareness to the highest degree
Even if you are a surfer living out of a van, unless you fashioned them yourself out of found objects, you should ditch your flip flops right away. At least give yourself the dignity of going barefoot ā which is way more fashionable and the authentic embodiment of van life.
