  1. Ich muss gerade viel an dieses #Vonnegut Zitat denken, wo er erzählt dass er ausgeht um einen Briefumschlag zu kaufen, aber nicht nur. Er hofft auch Menschen zu sehen, und Hunde und Baustellen und vielleicht sogar die Feuerwehr und und und... alles!
    So geht es mir hier und ich glaube ich habe es gerade sehr sehr gut.

  8. Today I saw a screenshot of the Claude logo, and I am sure someone spotted this before, it looks exactly like #Vonnegut drew his asshole.

    Surely there is a lesson there.

    For a Lifetime, an intimate portrait of two Andean condors, has won the top prize at the Patagonia photo contest 2026. Mauricio Rossanigo, the photographer, said: “The pair arrived, and the magic happened: they started grooming and interacting in such a beautiful way that we couldn’t believe it, and I just had to click at the right moment.”

  16. A quotation from Vonnegut

    For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes. But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course, that’s Moses, not Jesus. I haven’t heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere. “Blessed are the merciful” in a courtroom? “Blessed are the peacemakers” in the Pentagon? Give me a break!

    Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (1922-2007) American novelist, journalist
    A Man Without A Country, ch. 9 (2005)

  21. What the graphic hides: in the novel, this isn’t Vonnegut speaking in his own voice. The words belong to a character who defected to become a Nazi propagandist. Vonnegut put America’s cruelest truth in a villain’s mouth, daring you to deny it just because of who said it. #Vonnegut

  22. A quotation from Kurt Vonnegut

       And on the subject of burning books: I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical strength or their powerful political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country, have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles.
       So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.

    Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (1922-2007) American novelist, journalist
    Essay (2004-08-06), “I Love You, Madame Librarian,” In These Times Magazine, Vol. 29, No. 20 (2004-08-30)

  28. CW: AI related humor(?) and profanity.

    So, possibly people have already pointed this out and I'm just late to the party. But I'm sort of surprised I haven't seen any discussion yet of how the Claude logo looks like Kurt Vonnegut's stylized anus asterisk doodle, but with more pointy bits.

    Every time I see it show up somewhere, can't help thinking:

    "This asshole again!"
