You guys want to hear a short but adorable story that happened right in front of me at the baggage claim in NYC yesterday? I wasn't part of it and there are bits I didn't catch but holy crap, I can't stop thinking about it.

This is why we signal boost each other, review and blurb good books, and try to support each other when life pours it on. Without community, you'd only have the abyss. And the abyss is one of those friends who's only really good in group settings. Never ride home alone with the abyss.

Seems to me, big tech has bet the farm on the idea that once we get photocopying technology good enough to improve image quality with each generation, xerox machines will be able to unveil the secrets of the universe.

@simonguy.bsky.social Do you know The Great West Wood by Philip Palmer? Seems like it might be up your alley. I'm currently reading it.

We are a better people when we remember that we are, in large part, the descendants of refugees, a constructed people built on a grit of tolerance and a foundation of acceptance. We are a worse people when we look to the corporatists in our bloodlines for inspiration.

You do not have to give a shit about your carbon footprint to want to insulate yourself against feckless warlords who profit off misery. It just so happens that these things are often identical.

I’m mostly struck that as far as anyone knows, yesterday Graham was in good health and this morning he’s gone. And now the Intertubes are gloating and condemning and mocking. We are all Scrooge, and today is Christmas morning. It’s not too late. Start working on your obituary now.

Your reminder that fairy tales are full of stepmothers because women once routinely died in childbirth, from postpartum sepsis, or from other infectious diseases and left behind housefuls of motherless children. Stable nuclear families are made possible by vaccines, antibiotics, and safe abortions.

And to be clear, there’s never just one screwworm. If there’s an entry wound they can get into—and it doesn’t have to be big, we’re talking pimples—the female will lay dozens of eggs in and on it. Whenever there’s a human case, the reports are always “and 22 larva were removed from the scalp.”

Thread. And why ad-blocking matters. Not only are ads the single largest source of spyware and malware, they are literally a memetic poison designed to disenfranchise. As long as ads are toxic, they need to be blocked everywhere.

The reason you'll never be able to stop LLMs from "hallucinating" is because they don't hallucinate. They output pattern-matched responses, things that appear similar to answers based on a database. It can't know what's in that answer because it doesn't know anything.

I've been doing an online course on modern bobbin lacemaking, and finally finished one of my exercises: a design using only three pairs of bobbins. It's based on the last line of my favorite poem (allpoetry.com/poem/8505767...): "it is alternately stone in you and star." 🧶
A piece of lace created around the word STONE in mottled grey, with the spaces filled in with black and blue threads in wandering patterns and occasional crystal beads.The shadow of piece of lace created around the word STONE, showing the patterns of wandering threads that make it up.

Wolf had found the evening paper in Old Fox's desk. He took it to his room & slowly read the names aloud, into the silence. Luis Gustavo Núñez Cáceres, Geraldo Lunas Campos, Victor Manuel Díaz, Heber Sánchez Domínguez, Renee Nicole Good, Parady La, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz.
He thought of each soul, earthy & loved as roses, high & holy as falcons, fire stars raken into the breath of night. He imagined each name as a child, their first steps, moving towards smiling faces, outstretched arms of love and care, playing in the street on endless summer afternoons, the sidewalk burning hot, laughing until their bellies hurt,  blowing out birthday candles, wishing for the future, the rich unlived life beyond. And then he thought of their murderers, and the dark sky seemed to shatter, falling into cold irretrievable fragments.
