  1. Ah, yes, the revelation that Edgar Allan Poe single-handedly invented #cryptography with his monstrous, plotless tale about a bug made of gold. 🤔💡 Clearly, every #cybersecurity expert owes their career to Poe's rambling narrative from beyond the grave. 📚🔒

  3. Villains Don’t Always Need A Tragic Backstory

    Not every villain needs to secretly be a good person who was hurt by society. Sometimes a villain is just a villain. And honestly? That's perfectly fine. A complicated backstory can be great, but sometimes it's refreshing when a character simply chooses to be terrible and the story doesn't make excuses for them.

  5. A quotation from Hannah Arendt

    Nobody knows what is going to happen because so much depends on an enormous amount of variables, or, in other words, on hasard. On the other hand, if you look back on history, then retrospectively, even though all this was contingent, you can tell a story that makes sense. How is that possible? That is the problem for every philosophy of history. How is it possible that in retrospect things always look as though they could not have happened otherwise?

    Hannah Arendt (1906–1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
    Interview (1973-10) with Roger Errera, Office de Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française (ORTF)

  8. Still working on this, on or off (mostly off, but making progress).

    So this is the current status of the first part. Need to add a few of my famously shitty hand-drawn illustrations here and there.

  9. A quotation from Homer

    There is a time for long tales, but there is also a time for sleep.
     
    [Ὥρη μὲν πολέων μύθων, ὥρη δὲ καὶ ὕπνου.]

    Homer (fl. 7th-8th C. BC) Greek author
    The Odyssey [Ὀδύσσεια], Book 11, l. 379 (11.379) [Odysseus] (c. 700 BC) [tr. Rieu (1946)]

  10. I have blazed through contradiction.
    I swam in nil.
    I am the ground beneath myself.
    I am the abyss that breathes beneath the sea.

    I burn. I breathe.
    I want to breathe it all.

    Now I know how to fall...
    but what happens if I rise?

  11. Was genau ist mit #Storytelling in der #Wisskomm eigentlich gemeint? Die TU Darmstadt hat das mal erklärt:

    👉 empowertext.de/ergebnisse/narr

    Beispiel: Manche wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse oder Projekte lassen sich als Story erzählen, statt nachrichtlich darüber zu berichten. Zum Beispiel als Heldenreise eines Wissenschaftlers oder einer Wissenschaftlerin, also mit Fehlschlägen, deren Überwindung und schließlichem Erfolg. Hier mehr:

  12. “I am not a robot.”

    Introduction When was the robot actually born? The robot’s birthday could be February 30, February 29 on common years, or even December 32–each associated with dates on the calendar that do not exist in real life in the modern day! February 30 is a day that has existed in at least a few calendar systems in the distant past, yet not in the modern Gregorian Calendar, yet February 29 is a date that exists only on leap years! Every common year has 365 days, intentionally excluding the 366th […]

  14. Do I need the ground?
    I am the ground.
    I am my own ground.

    I breath beneath the sea.
    I burn and burn,
    and still I yearn:
    for the bliss—
    the bliss of abyss.
