The boy and I are assessing everything that needs to be done in the garden, starting tomorrow.
Today’s newsletter is out, containing show notes on episode 1 of THE DEPARTMENT OF MIDNIGHT.
OPERATIONS: Making a last feeble pass at a script and setting things up for next week because:
STATUS: I am tapped out. Very little good writing energy left. I’ve done a lot in the last several months, and I need to recharge a bit and get some air.
READING: IMMEDIACY, OR, THE STYLE OF TOO LATE CAPITALISM (UK) (US+)
THINKING ABOUT: this Janus Rose/Chelsea Manning interview.
CM: We have been deliberately and methodically trained to interact with these social platforms.
JR: By “trained” you’re talking about how we’ve been conditioned by these platforms that quantify social interactions and make people associate quality information with what “gets numbers”?
CM: Yes. Somehow we have to counteract that.
After reading it last night, the term “detraining” popped into my head. And I’m thinking about that.
MISSION CONTROL: I can be contacted via the Cheng Caplan Company. Link in masthead to join my free newsletter. Now: THE DEPARTMENT OF MIDNIGHT audio drama podcast. Forthcoming 2024: DESOLATION JONES: THE BIOHZARD EDITION, FELL: FERAL CITY new printing. 2025: THE STORMWATCH COMPENDIUM, THE AUTHORITY Compact Edition
