Project Hail Mary is a fucking masterpiece
Ok, listen. If you have not read this book by Andy Weir, notable author of the stellar novel The Martian, stop reading right now. The Martian was incredible in its own right, absolutely, and it brought me to this novel which I will forever be grateful, but I'd rather trek over hot coals than ruin the magic of Project Hail Mary.

TIME TRAVEL: The RACE IS ON WITH ELON!
As you can imagine, I was rather surprised to learn that one of the Elon Musk fanboy groups, in this case, Elon Musk Evolution, issued a veiled challenge to me on Youtube. Now, I already have a challenge in the works - that I'll get time travel to the past to work in order to evacuate people from here to the distant past in an operation we call Earth:12KB4 before Elon can get people to the planet Mars. I expect that we'll be able to achieve the required breakthrough next year. Recently, Musk announced he was delaying a SpaceX launch to Mars back to 2029. I have Elon in a strategic "check" because as long as I have a breakthrough before 2029, he loses and he can't deny our competition because that would mean he's not going try to get Mars. This proves that he is not focused on the threats to the future that he claimed to be.

Brown is the color of mystery
Her empty stomach gurgled a complaint, but she didn’t feel hungry. Her eyes were wet with tears. The cold wind threatened to freeze her eyelashes.

No, probably not. At least, she hoped not. A fresh wave of sobs threatened to wrack her body.

The sound of time
The sound of Time By Nate Dillon So many things start in the deep dark Woods… Bunny wasn’t sure how they had gotten into the heart of the deep dark woods. Like the ferry tale deep dark woods. Where wolves and monsters and scary shit live. Where things that the super natural world has pushed out to the edges exist unaware that the rest of the world has moved on without them. Now I don’t wanna judge but there’s lots of reasons why beings become marginalized to the fringes of society. But,

Yellow
She organized the ingredients in straight lines on the marble counter. Garlic, olive oil, basil, pasta, tomatoes, salt. “Heat a medium pot of water to boiling.” The system’s voice dictated over a cheerful piano melody. “Add a sprinkle of salt to water.”

String Theory - The Theory Of Everything
Where do we come from and where does the world come from? What is the world made of? We are privileged to live in an age where we have come close enough to some of the answers. String theory is our latest attempt to answer the last of these questions - the "Theory of Everything".

When Time Runs Out CH3
CH 3 At the end of the day, you have to rest on the actions that you chose. Not always the easiest thing to do. Lying to yourself is so much easier, even if the nightmares like to try to bring memories to the surface. But sometimes there is that one person that no matter what you did, how they view your actions will scare you so much more than anything.
