Alerting @dcafwriting and all Matthew Stover fans.
We’ve raised $1.3M from YC & Afore Capital so you never have to type or speak again.
Typing is slow. Talking into your computer is awkward. Subvocal fixes both
Our glasses give you the speed of speech without you making a sound or touching a keyboard.
It tracks your internal speech muscles with non-contact sensing and decodes silent, almost invisible mouthing into text at more than 200 words/min.
Pre-orders are now live at:

Just finished (again)
@NoahCRothman's Rise of the New Puritans. Love books like this because they give you a new lens for seeing the world around you. Even years later as new events unfold and the jerseys and team captains change again and again, books like this are a touchpoint.
Back in college I watched There Will Be Blood on DVD, and had no idea the DVD player was malfunctioning. Watched the entire movie in black and white, thinking that was how it was released. Tried watching it in color, but there was no going back.
This isn't that tough to see through. It's not, "this is too dangerous," it's, "we climbed the mountain first, we need government regulators to pull up the ladder behind us so we don't get displaced."
Read it. Read it. Read it. Read it. Read it. Read it. Read it. Read it. Read it. Read it. Read it. Read it. Read it. Read it.
Hey.
You should read this book.
Elizabeth Warren is a fundamentally unserious person, and she hopes you are, too.
Ken Griffey Jr.
Without the injuries, he'd hold the top spot in almost every category he competed for.
Every word.
Relatedly, a writer who only ever writes doesn't know enough about life to write convincingly. Might as well turn it over to the robots at that point. But learn woodworking? Or cooking? Or horsemanship? Those aspects of your books will spring to life.
I don't think this is ill-intentioned, so let's dig deeper than a witty comeback that would get more retweets. I used to share the underlying assumption that novelists are story-producers who work at some sadly individualized words/hour. Therefore, more hours worked would equal more words. I've even tried it, cloistering myself and doing literally nothing but writing all day, nap, long into the night, nap, repeat--for two years. The work got faster, at first, with no drop in quality. Then it got worse. Then slower and worse in a doom spiral. It was like holding your breath and sprinting. It goes fine, at first. Art is a response to life.
And the truth is, as a reader today, you're lucky. You can now choose deeply human art that's slow and imperfect or deeply inhuman machine art that's fast and imperfect. And lots of people are scrambling to make android art that's fast. It will, I suspect, still be imperfect, with the added (overcomeable?) danger of being shallow.
So, me spending a few hours a week pursuing a hobby? That IS me staying in my niche, doing exactly what I need to do to make deeply human art, making it to the highest standard of excellence I can, and making it as fast as I can--which is much slower than I'd like! Thank you for saying I write amazing novels. I feel immensely grateful to be able to make a living doing this hard thing I love.
"Rights for me, restrictions for thee"
Ever notice that for someone like Sanders, the Constitution only ever flows one way? Amazon has the right to avoid unionization just like workers have a right to pursue it.
Amazon made more than $92 billion in the first half of this year but uses legal loopholes to deny workers their constitutional right to a union.
I applaud @NYCMayor for supporting legislation holding Amazon accountable for this corporate greed & protecting its drivers.
I still had some respect for MBD, though rapidly evaporating, over the last few years. This might be the analogy that dries up the pool completely. What a sad, sold-soul joke.
More stories of capricious and often malicious gods who play with the lives of the mortals around them for power and amusement?
I've already seen The Boys.
I hate this shit so much. Dan Wilson takes the Ms to game 7 of the ALCS, then they struggle the following year, and people want to boo him and get rid of him? Shut up and go back under your rocks.
