Gingham
Behind the door with the gingham curtains sits a young girl with red hair. She wears a gingham dress. Next to her is a table, draped with a cloth of the same gingham. Upon the table sits a small plate, bearing a small slice of pie. She is screaming at the pie. She has circular breath for this solitary reason. There are water pipes to keep her throat hydrated, and caffeine drips to keep her awake. It is deathly important that she screams at the pie as long as she can. But in resigning herself to this fate, no one will know why. No one will know the horrors the saw. How close she came to death. How long she averted her gaze onto said pie. How this humble slice of baked foodstuff became her scapegoat. She keeps it preserved, alive to suffer the vocal horrors she projects. Why would the pie not be alive? Being alive is not contingent on having feelings.

When I write an email client, its rules system will have smart checks in place to stop you doing really stupid shit like this.
Because these checks clearly don’t exist in my head.
The best argument I have heard for a monarchy is that it keeps rightwing nutters in check. Tell a fascist, “The Queen wouldn’t like it,” and they shut right down, perhaps recognising their own.

UC Berkeley researchers used brain scans of the visual cortex and computational models to reconstruct what the individual is seeing. From UC Berkeley:
“As yet, the technology can only reconstruct movie clips people have already viewed. However, the breakthrough paves the way for reproducing the movies inside our heads that no one else sees, such as dreams and memories, according to researchers.
“This is a major leap toward reconstructing internal imagery,” said Professor Jack Gallant, a UC Berkeley neuroscientist and coauthor of the study published online today (Sept. 22) in the journal Current Biology. “We are opening a window into the movies in our minds.”
