Me, a 90s cricket baba unaware of the existence of Saim Ayub - "that's literally impossible"
i thought i was touch-starved but my cat is really going for the title. she wants attention and pets (and she will get it).
so finally read this first draft i had been ignoring for so long and turns out i had created a good story in the first go???
i didn't realize how badly my intelligence had been hit during long-term depression until i slowly got better and was able to do, read, write, create things that seemed impossible. those are years of my life i won't get back.

anyway, figured out an easy way to get the latest cricket data right down to the ball-by-ball numbers. took like 8 lines of code and one handy library. hum bhi karke dekhein sports "analytics" lol.
this is what happens when you think of science fiction as a mere representation of 'science' and not as the mythology of modernity that it is.
Neil deGrasse Tyson critiques thumpers and sandworms in 'DUNE: PART TWO'.
"You can't thump sand, if you do this to sand [slams fist] nobody else is gonna hear it... they have the worm going straight fast, no that's not how physics work they gotta curl"

i often think about The Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee and how it is one of the greatest works of fiction I have ever read. so massively underrated.
This is a solid critique of that abysmal article. But I think, at this moment, instead of arguing over the so-called veracity of numbers from one source in Gaza, we should understand that we can triangulate evidence of the immense loss of life happening from many other sources.
