One of the three motionless Metric machines, all identically shaped like an expressionist parody of a human, emulated a human-like voice that my brain could not accept as human. It wouldn’t let me believe it could come from a set of lips. It felt wrong. But I’m used to it.

“Your performance in the battle was 22% less efficient than your previous average.”
“Okay.”
“Aren’t you going to say it doesn’t mean anything to you?”
“You don’t listen when I do say it.”
“We are always listening.”

I recently encountered the 1994 movie Nadja, a kind of indie/erotic horror vampire movie, which has a bit role played by Lynch in the film, but mostly just oozes 1990s indie movie coolness.

"Love's been a little bit [beebeebeep] me, by Juice Newton, on Amazon Music."
