Abandoned Uranium Workings

Athanasius Kircher, Ars Magna Lucis et Umbrae (The Great Art of Light and Shadow). 1646. Engravings. One of the last great Renaissance polymaths, Kircher was a Jesuit scholar whose work ranged across optics, magnetism, music, linguistics, Egyptology, and cosmology.

Tendría que volverla a ver, pero estoy dispuesto a creer que Halcones Galácticos ("SilverHawks") estaba mejor que Thundercats, incluso tratándose de algo más menos calcado, e incluso por sus mismos productores. El Ramiro de 10 años lo consideraría una herejía, pero quién sabe.

Philip K. Dick wrote 44 novels, 121 short stories, and 14 short story collections. This is one of his last speeches given in Metz, France, 1977. It is fascinating.

@conde_boeck ese fue el año en que finalmente inmanentizaron el escatón.

Para entender los intentos de control del Afuera por parte de la Orden Arquitectónica de Éscaton y su guerra cronomántica contra la hechicería lemuriana, estos dos grimorios pueden ofrecer métodos sumamente ilustrativos

Me hubiese encantado coinear el término "xeno-uruguayística" cuando salió mi "Guitarra negra" allá por 2019. Gracias @conde_boeck !

@da3daluss @TheUntranslated @_maldororian_ @maxdaniellawton Two years ago, the Montevideo book fair hosted a collection of uruguayan-narrative related items; I've contributed with an apocryphal "Troya Blanda", which cover I designed in the manner of Dumas' "New Troy" (about the Siege of Montevideo) but atributed to Thomas Pynchon.

@da3daluss @TheUntranslated @_maldororian_ @maxdaniellawton Yeah, definetly. Amir was a friend of mine (I also worked with him, he was chief editor at an ONG back in the early 2000s), and I've always admired his works, particularly his middle-period ones, Troya Blanda and Artigas Blues Band.

Clearly you guys are excited for SONGS OF CHAOS. 1k+ likes, 40k views (almost), and 600 bookmarks. Can we muster a fraction of that same enthusiasm for THE SORIAS?? It has been described by @TheUntranslated as something akin to the Latin American GRAVITY’S RAINBOW 😤😤😤

@TheUntranslated @da3daluss @_maldororian_ @maxdaniellawton We organized a Bloomsday reading that same year, also, and he read from the Aeolus chapter, his favourite.

@TheUntranslated @da3daluss @_maldororian_ @maxdaniellawton More like late 19th century. Amir was particularly fond on Julio Herrera y Reissig and that kind of baroque-modernism-protoavantgarde writing. He loved Lezama Lima, for instance.

@TheUntranslated @da3daluss @_maldororian_ @maxdaniellawton I have very fond memories of him. He sang a couple of Bob Dylan songs when we launched my 2015 novel "El gato y la entropía #12 & 35", which he loved (he coined the term scale-maximalism to describe it).

@UraniumWorkings @da3daluss @_maldororian_ @maxdaniellawton Is it written in a pastiche of 18th cantury Spanish?

@da3daluss @TheUntranslated @_maldororian_ @maxdaniellawton Troya Blanda is one of the very few maximalist uruguayan novels, and probably the best (the main contender is "Mil de fiebre", by Juan Andrés Ferreira, but their take -Amir and Juan Andrés, I mean- on maximalism was somewhat diferent.

Cosmology Crisis: JWST Confirms "Unknown Physics" is Required 🌌 New data from the James Webb Space Telescope in February 2026 has confirmed a 9% discrepancy in the Hubble Constant (\bm{H_0}). The "Hubble Tension" is no longer a measurement error; it is a fundamental flaw in our Standard Model of the Universe (\bm{\Lambda CDM}). We are officially witnessing the birth of a New Physics to explain why the local universe expands at 73 km/s/Mpc while the early universe predicts 67. 🔭 #Cosmology #JWST
