If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent

We need to go much farther. The oligarchs are hoarding the very resources we need to deal with planetary problems. They literally have nothing to buy that requires $Ts. It's not an inequality problem. It's a bottleneck on the capacity needed for regeneration and thriving.

kudos to macklemore here for —right off the bat— the perspective and acknowledgment of who the real victims are
I'm not sure how to start this. So I'm going to speak from the heart and share the truth. Ed Sheeran and his team have made the decision to remove me from The Loop tour.

But before I get into it, I want to say something that should be obvious. In this moment I think it matters. I am not a victim. Ed Sheeran is not a victim. Pink is not a victim. We have careers, money, opportunities, safety and audiences around the world. Whatever consequences any of us face for what we say, we get to go home to our families.

The victims are the Palestinian people. The men, women and children who have been killed, starved, displaced and forced to live through unimaginable violence. More than 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza alone. People are being killed today, and people will be killed tomorrow. I want to make sure that as I tell this story, we don't lose sight of that.

Just a regular reminder that Struthless is probably the best thing on the youtube internet right now, and that his latest video (a documentary on digital dystopia) is essential viewing, for all the reasons, content, wisdom, wacky visuals. youtu.be/aLPrNSFLb2U?...

The South Pole Inn in Annascaul is (was?) a great combo of pub and museum on Tom Crean, who made the boat that Shackleton and crew rowed 600 miles to to the SouthGeorgiaIslands. Even has a full size replica. tomcreanbook.com/cool_timelin...

South Pole Inn - Tom Crean Book - 'Crean - The Extraordinary Life Of An Irish Hero'
In 1929, Tom Crean built upon the foundations of the existing licensed premises he’d operated since receiving his license to sell wines, beers, cider and spirits in 1917. It became the South Pole Inn, a two-storey building which today is sadly vacant. The old building had suffered from flooding from the nearby river and this […]

My dad just turned 100. He went to Korea the same summer he graduated from West Point, along with a lot of his mates. That class, 1950, has the distinction of losing more to war in the first year after graduating than any other year.

A distinction I hadn't thought of before I heard Schneier, one of the best security minds out there, say it: A lot of the problems we have with AI are mostly problems with capitalism itself.

@jasonhickel.bsky.social calls what’s happening in Gaza not a blip in history, but a longstanding pattern of imperialist violence. Western intervention keeps happening because capitalism requires it. Breaking this cycle means transitioning to a post-capitalist economy.
