Lemon Jelly. Creationism. Fight Club. The cinema of Hal Hartley. All this and more will be touched upon in the Dale's Ramblings Sixth AnniVARsary Spectacular, as we look at the last of Virgin's Decalogs.

The Mammoth Book of the End of the World edited by Mike Ashley

3.5 out of 5

A collection of twenty-four short stories and novellas exploring the destruction of civilization and/or the planet. The authors range from Golden Age giants to more modern ones. While the majority of the stories are reprints, there are a few original to this collection.

I've taken my time reading this chunky book which is reflected in the time taken from start to finish. I find collections like this work better for me when I dip in when I want something different from what else that I've been reading. However the stories are different enough to read through with no interruptions.

One of the better collections of this trope that I've read in many years. Only one story came in rated at less than 3 stars, an unusual situations with such a narrow focus and large number of stories. A few of my favorites include "When Sysadmins Ruled the World" by Cory Doctorow; "The Last Sunset" by Geoffrey A. Landis, particularly heart wrenching; and "And the Deep Blue Sea" by Elizabeth Bear.

If you love well written stories, consider picking this up. It is well worth your time.

脫歐沒有解決英國的問題，脫歐本身就是問題

在英國正式脫離歐盟的第三周年紀念日，一些英國人開始經歷「脫歐後悔症」（Bregret）。英國新聞意見網站UnHerd與軟件公司Focaldata本周合作收集的民調顯示，在全英632個議會選區，除3個選區以外，餘下地區的絕大多數民眾如今認為「脫歐是錯誤的決定」。 在2016年那場「脫歐公投」中，正是「奪回控制權」這句口號深深地打動民眾，以至於左右了公投結果。讓主權從布魯塞爾回歸英國議會，意味著英國人能重新自主地管理本國的邊界、法律與金融體制： 有效的移民管控，據說會緩解房價過高，因職業技能缺失導致的勞工收入過低，以及各類公共服務成本過高帶來的生活壓力。脫離歐盟的監管體系，並與其它國家簽署一對一的自貿協議，據說會讓倫敦成為全世界的銀行，「泰晤士河上的新加坡」。 以上種種收益，加上英國脫歐後無需向布魯塞爾繳納的費用（僅2015年就達108億英鎊），意味著能解放更多資金，用於投資基礎設施建…

I wish Batman would fuck with the Joker more. I know he can't. Scratch, I know an important piece of their core dynamic is that he is above it, which opens the way to great contrasts when other characters (ie icon Terry Bats) do. But come on, it would be so easy. It would be free.

During a teamup in Gotham, Bats could dreamily remark that he likes Superman because he makes him laugh. What options does the clownfucker have now? Try to jealously kill fucking Superman or simply dive backwards into the Hudson River. The whole thing would take ten seconds of work, and I don't think there'd be collateral damage. Superman's already there.

Narration: Jude fumbles around a riff, frustration growing as he mumbles the lyrics.  Jude, singing quietly: I can’t move on, baby doll, waitin’ on calls, flippin’ through stations… His lighter clicks, and clicks, and clicks.  He leans against the windowsill, staring down at the bustling cityscape.  As he smokes, his mind whirs over the sights and sounds below.  He searches for a cure to this unending drought of creativity.  Retreating to his drum kit, he sits. And he listens.  And he waits. What are you waiting for? Or, better yet, who? You can’t write another song about your broken heart— Jude, interrupting the narration: Watch me.
