I created a note with a tag. Then I deleted the note, but the tag remains visible under 'Tags' in the left slide panel. fwiw

Thank you. In Strflow, tags can be created independently of notes, so tags can exist even if their associated notes are empty.

Unimportant, but "pared" down, not "paired".

And, of course, yesterday's Met Gala had as its theme Ballard's story "The Garden of Time". Timely.

Not _quite_ the same, but may provide some food for thought. A classic: https://users.speakeasy.net/~lion/nb/book.pdf

And automobile!

I know what you mean, but. Human spoken and written Languge very clearly _does_ something. It facilitates information exchange across time and space, catalyzing cultural evolution.

"Arzach" by Mœbius. "The Incal" by same and Jodorowsky.

Jodorowsky's worlds are a delight to read as are his films very unusual visuals in both.

I just finished reading McCarthy's 'Stella Marris' and 'The Passenger'. Anyone who enjoyed reading this linked transcript I imagine might also appreciate much of the themes treated in McCarthy's final works. I found the passages on Oppenheimer interesting especially in light of Nolan's new film. Funny timing.

Brogue is genuinely beautiful. I know pure roguelikes should be white ascii on black, but it's incredible what a little color can do. And the way it handles dynamic events in its environments. Really makes the cave "biome" come alive.

Even the original Rogue had color and graphical tiles as soon as it was ported to systems that supported them. I'm sure there are people out there who think "true" roguelikes have to be monochrome but I'm lucky to never have met them.

Suttree is maybe my favorite of all his novels. If, as others here have suggested, you regard Blood Meridian an epic. Suttree is a picaresque, like reading Pickwick Papers on salvia.
