Gray day... everything is gray

[conuly]

I watch, but nothing moves today.

Looks like it's going to be overcast all week, and next week too. Well, fuck. I'm putting my lightbox back on.

That Sci-Fi roots article is disturbing. Fascinating and disturbing.

[conuly]

YES.

Fighting Nazis with typewriters -- and yet the typewriter remains intact. Genius! (Though for a bit I was kinda hoping that the writers were using surrealism and not the more straightforward propaganda stuff.)

[conuly]

That'd be pretty funny. Probably a little less effective.

[bibliofile]

Surrealism might be more fun, but then so might be hitting them with the typewriter. Kinda pricey, though.

But Nazis? Yeah, go for more effective.

[conuly]

Though I suppose if we outnumber them and also have the element of surprise, typewriter attacks CAN be effective. I mean, there's something to be said for taking them out one-on-one.
