@pgcd@mastodon.onlineI can't overestimate the impact this song had on me when I heard it. I was 12, obsessed with sci-fi and these weirdos pop up in the most boring, normalized italian music show (Sanremo) to play a kind of music I had never heard before (and rarely after).
Still sublime after all these years.

@compfu@mograph.socialThis sounds like a really cool sci-fi idea: a language model that is special-purpose, cheap and energy efficient and not connected to the internet so it can be built into household appliances. It might be the positive "residue" of an AI bubble crash.
But will those household appliance companies do it? They'd have to let go of their internet connected fridges and data collection. Maybe it'll be the FOSS and 3d-printing community who does it.

@tiotasram@kolektiva.socialDay 18: Mark Oshiro
Having just learned that Oshiro is nonbinary, they're an instant include on this list. In veering extremely heavily towards YA, and losing a spot that would have gone to an absolutely legendary mangaka, anime writer, or feminist philosopher, but "Anger is A Gift" and "Each of us a Desert" are just that good, and I'm trying to steer a bit towards towards lesser-known authors I respect.
I already mentioned "Anger is a Gift" above, but to recap, it's a painful, vivid, and beautifully honest story of queer love, loss, and protest against an oppressive system. CW for racist police murder, intergenerational trauma, and police brutality against highschool students. It's a book a lot of Americans could benefit from reading right now, and while it's fiction, it's not fantasy or sci-fi. Besides the themes and politics, the writing is just really solid, with delicate characterization and tight-plotted developments that are beautifully paced.
To me "Each of us a Desert" is maybe even more beautiful, and Oshiro leaps into a magnificent fantasy world that's richly original in its desolation, dark history, lonely characters, and mythical magic. Particularly the clearly-not-just-superscription but ambiguously-important/powerful magical elements of Oshiro's worldbuilding are a rare contrast to the usual magic-is-real-here's-how-it-works fare, and pulling that off a all as they do is a testament to their craft. The prose is wonderful, probably especially so if you speak Spanish, but I enjoyed it immensely despite only knowing a few words here and there. The rich interiority of the characters, their conflicts both with each other and within themselves, and the juxtaposition of all that against origins in cult-like ignorance allows for the delivery of a lot of wisdom and complex truths.
Between these two books, so different and yet each so powerful, Oshiro has demonstrated incredible craft and also a wide range of styles, so I'm definitely excited to read more of their work and to recommend them to others.
I'm also glad to have finally put a nonbinary author on this list; the others I had in mind won't make it at this point because there's too much genre overlap, although I'll include them in my didn't-make-it list at the end. I've now got just 2 slots left and have counted up 14 more authors that absolutely need to be mentioned, so we'll see what happens.

TARRANT: It was an even bet.
AVON: Quite.
TARRANT: I still don't know who the girl is, though.

VILA: Why didn't you suggest it to us?
CALLY: Because I knew how you'd react.
AVON: Auron may be different, Cally, but on Earth it is considered ill-mannered to kill your friends while committing suicide.

SOOLIN: Or boozed up.
VILA: Would you settle for fed up? It's somebody else's turn.

BLAKE: Chalk up another one to law and order.
DEVA: Smuggler, do you think?

BLAKE: Don't tell me you agree with Gan.
