    Sinopsis:

    Bran tuvo una adolescencia complicada, y su vida adulta no es mejor. Una sucesión de pérdidas familiares, una gran cicatriz en la cara y sus circunstancias personales han forjado en ella una personalidad esquiva.

    Y como si fuera una maldición añadida, la protagonista hereda y debe hacerse cargo de una casa familiar, epicentro de buena parte de las desgracias que se abatieron sobre sus seres queridos.

    Una visita a la enmohecida y arruinada vivienda, ubicada en un pequeño pueblo madrileño, sumergirá a Bran en una travesía angustiante por túneles oscuros, estancias claustrofóbicas y seres terroríficos.

          SEMIBOVEMQUE VIRUM SEMIVIRUMQUE BOVEM

          Classical poet Ovid once asked each one of his friends to choose, from a poem of him, three verses they considered the worst and that were to be deleted; also, he told them that he also had chosen three verses himself that were not to be deleted, no matter what. When they finally met, it was found that everyone, even Ovid himself, had selected the same three verses. Seneca the Elder tells this story to explain that authors know the problems about their own works, but that they don't bother to fix them. He does not explain further if this is because creators know better or because they are arrogant boneheads.

          There is a different telling of this story that says that, when everybody met, nobody had chosen the same verses; because of this, after deletion, the poem was left with only three lines, the ones chosen by Ovid. He was not upset, though, because he saw it coming: the slaughtered text showed Latin words for "My friends are a bunch of hateful motherfuckers".

            Creo que Fesser está siendo un poco ingenuo. Según mi experiencia personal, la gente de derechas no considera comportamientos inaceptables lucrarse obscenamente aprovechándose de la necesidad de otros ni evadir impuestos. De hecho, para ellos es parte del éxito personal y profesional.

                          Si has dejado pasar mucho tiempo entre el principio y lo actual, es muy común. No te deprimas; al contrario, eso significa que has evolucionado tu técnica como autora.

                          No hay respuestas mágicas: si sigues creyendo en esa historia, reescribe el principio. Si ya no, pues al cajón, y a por otra.

                                        Last week in a seminar we discussed a text that was largely about sexual violence, including mass rape during war. Heavy stuff.

                                        One student admitted they had not read the text but worked off a ChatGPT summary.

                                        They had no idea the text was about sexual violence. ChatGPT withheld that information.

                                        This wasn’t just a minor error nor a typical LLM hallucination.

                                        About a third of the text, arguably its most important part, went completely ignored because it didn’t match OpenAI’s content policies

                                            THE WRITING ON HIS FATHER'S HAND

                                            "Tell me...", babbled Skips, "tell me one thing, Frenchie."

                                            "Stop that Frenchie shit, Skips. What do you want me to tell you?"

                                            "Tell me that I will be able to forget about this."

                                            The room was dark and humid. A bare lightbulb over their heads, brownish stains on the floor. Skips was young and blond and had a gun in his hand; he trembled like a cold lump of lard. Jean-Loup Lamarc, older and unfazed, was nearby. The traitor was tied to a chair, watery eyes, mouth silenced by a dirty cloth. Lamarc was no moron and knew that time was not on their side, but sighed and started talking to confort the younger man because what must be done must be done and the time is now.

                                            "I won't tell you such thing."

                                            "Oh, please, Frenchie. I... I will feel this sorrow for the rest of my life."

                                            "Oh, you won't do that, either."

                                            "I can't..." He really seemed to mean it.

                                            "I will not lie to you and say it will be easy, man. Not even remotely easy. You will wake up in the middle of the night, Skips. You'll swim in a sea of sweat. Many times. You will feel a ghost whispering into one of your funny little ears. Whispering ugly things to you, Skips. You will cry a river, like Julie London sang. But one day, I cannot say if it will be next week or next month or in your sister's wedding, as I say, one day, you will wake up, you will start having your eggs or your cereal or whatever the fuck you use to have for breakfast, and you will realize that you had not remembered this mess for a couple of days. And then you'll be over it. And the next time it won't be a couple days, but four days, or four weeks, or whatever measure of time you can name. Putain, one day you won't even remember the details, or your father's writing, or the fucking dirty money, or the visage of any of these pieces of shit. So just do it. Do it fucking now."

                                            Skips shot the poor scumbag in the head. His face exploded like in a seedy B movie.

                                            "Oh, Skips, sure you've made a pretty cute dish of Chicken Vindaloo here. Now let's run as fast as we can."

                                            Tires screeched nearby.

                                                                I try to avoid using Google products. They are an asshole corporation.

                                                                I have a crappy, broken, 7/8 years old Android phone. It doesn't allow the instalation of GrapheneOS or any other Google-free software. When it eventually breaks, I will buy another crappy, cheap Android one, because the only real alternative is Apple, which is also an asshole corporation and their products are ridiculously expensive for no reason. Anyway, I try to minimize mobile phone usage to the minimum.

                                                                I don't use Google Search. But, given that what I usually search for are computing algorithms or popular culture info about movies, music, painters or books, I always search the Wikipedia first. For the other cases, I search with DuckDuckGo (yes, I know, it's really Bing behind, and Microsoft is another asshole corporation which I hate with especial passion).

                                                                I don't use Chrome. I use Firefox, both on my Linux/BSD desktops and on mobile. I don't like it, but it's good enough. Yes, Mozilla is another asshole corporation that is working in making Firefox a worse product day by day.

                                                                The only Google product I use voluntarily is Youtube. I feel sorry and innerly contradictory, but I like it.

Yes, they are probably better than mainstream alternatives, but they are also massively complicated and still run by all the same kinds of people with the same kinds of agendas

                                                                                            Simplicity should be the objective, so that we never end up in a situation where a small group holds a monopoly on important software

                                                                                                "Hello, I have an appointment with Mr. Brown", I said, showing my business card.

                                                                                                She took a look at the small cardboard piece and read: "Miroslav Corbett — Documentalist". She seemed sleepy and out of focus. "I... I thought it was Corbet with only one T."

                                                                                                "It's a common mistake", I said. "Are you Mrs. Brown?".

                                                                                                "Yes. Oh, please, come in."

                                                                                                She invited me to a wooden chair by a table. On it there were some cups, a coffee jar and a small dish with cookies. An old record turntable was playing some awful trumpet jazz tune.

                                                                                                A man in a worn sweater entered the room. He also looked tired, a red stubble, his skin like old paper.

                                                                                                "Mr. Brown, I suppose", I said. "This is Miroslav Corbett. I came to speak about your son."

                                                                                                "Oh", he said, "which one? Are they in trouble?". His face looked sincerely concerned.

                                                                                                "Not yet as far as I know", I said, "Are they at home?"

                                                                                                "Oh yes. Do you want me to... eh... bring them here?"

                                                                                                "If you please", I said while taking a cookie. It tasted like dust.

                                                                                                "Mr. Corbett,", she said, "in your card says that you are a documentalist. What are the matters you usually document?".

                                                                                                "I document... oddities. You know, during the Great Anomaly, many fissures happened in the reality fabric. Some of them were not totally fixed and sometimes creatures and inaccuracies still permeate to our world. My work is to write about them."

                                                                                                "Oh", she said, "do you suspect that...?"

                                                                                                The man entered back into the room surrounded by two boys. I immediately saw the problem.

                                                                                                One of the boys was unclean, brunette and sleepy like his parents. The other one looked very different: milky-skinned, the black and deep eyes of a hunter, quiet but alert, definitely an otherworldly look.

                                                                                                "These are Cletus Jr. and Tusk", said Mr. Brown, "say hello to Mr. Corbett."

                                                                                                They did.

                                                                                                "So your name is Tusk, eh?", I said to the out-of-place kid, "What things do you like?"

                                                                                                "I like human activities,", he said, "for I am an ordinary boy."

                                                                                                Ordinary boy my ass, I thought.

                                                                                                "What kind of activities?"

                                                                                                "Like, listening to jazz and going to the school and breathing."

                                                                                                "Oh, that really sounded like what an ordinary boy would say.", I said.

                                                                                                The woman, who seemed to realize that something odd was happening, asked me: "What is the problem?"

                                                                                                "The problem is", I said, "that you don't have two children, but one."

                                                                                                "What?", said the man.

                                                                                                "I have the papers here. Cletus Zebulon and Brandine Sue Brown, respectable suburban hillbillies. One kid, Cletus Jr., 7 years old, mediocre student, awful football player."

                                                                                                "What do you mean?", said the woman, visibly disturbed. "We have two boys... Cletus and... Tusk."

                                                                                                "Oh, come on. Tusk is not even a name for a boy", I said.

                                                                                                "I am a real boy", said the odd child. His face already looked somewhat bizarre and his voice sounded like filtered through a reverb effect from a cheap movie.

                                                                                                "Look at him,", I said to her, "he looks, like, six or seven? That is not possible. He wasn't even here last week. He's an anomaly, a creature from another plane. He is manipulating your minds into thinking he is your son. But it's not."

                                                                                                And then to the kid: "Are you listening to me? This is not your family. You should go. You don't belong here."

                                                                                                The kid, or should I say the thing, was having difficulties to look even human, as his contour started to look diffuse. His putative parents were utterly confused and in horror.

                                                                                                "Ok,", I said, "it has been a pleasure. I have to go. Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown, thank you very much for your attention."

                                                                                                "What?", said the woman, "Are you leaving now? Are you leaving us like this?"

                                                                                                The boy didn't look like a boy anymore: I know better not looking directly at abominations while they are transforming into their real shape, but for sure he was pretty hideous.

                                                                                                "I'm afraid I'll do.", I said, "I don't fix anomalies or oddities, nor kill runaway creatures, soul sickers nor mind hunters. I only document the facts. Goodbye."

                                                                                                I left and closed the apartment door, leaving horrid sounds and awful smells behind me.

You DRIVE to get COFFEE before putting on your CLOTHES? You can't be bothered to put on clothes because you haven't had your morning coffee but you will DRIVE to a fully another location that isn't YOUR FUCKING HOUSE to get it??? You will operate. The machinery! On the roads, that you share with other people! To drive to a location?? When you could just make it at home??

The staggering inefficiency of such a Ponzi economy, channelling capital into mega-billionaires pockets instead of productive growth is why China is rolling out 400 kph mag lev trains while we are shoveling brain dead software into toasters.

                                                                                                                                                      achillean task: when your work is flawless except for that one fatal oversight that will, inevitably, destroy you.
