perhaps the greatest set of short story titles every assembled, in samuel delany’s DRIFTGLASS
i just feel like if you rent NORTE online you should get more than 48 hours to finish it. it's a big time commitment!

and, at number 9 for #TheTwen2ie5: perhaps the defining one hit wonder of the decade: TOMMY RICHMAN - MILLION DOLLAR BABY (2024, ISO Supremacy) # 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. # 3 on the UK singles chart # 1 on the Global 200, UK Indie Chart, and TikTok Hot 50 annoying as hell. 11 points.
