So at some point last night something on my evening dept blew up and caught fire. Nobody bothered telling any of us so I went up there this avvo no no entry signs and half the place covered in thick soot. The more I think about it im pretty glad that didnt happen while I was there.

According to MIT News, Margaret Hamilton died at the age of 90. "A profoundly influential computer scientist best known for leading the software engineering team at MIT’s Instrumentation Lab during NASA’s Apollo program". This famous photo 🔽 inspired the For All Mankind character Margo Madison.
Margaret Hamilton, but the famous 1969 photo that inspired the For All Mankind character Margo Madison is in the quoted post.

>Le Sigh< anyway, just another reason why moving down here was the right move really. Now to figure out what to take with me for my week and a bit in the frozen north with only my sisters cats and my dementia addled Nan for company 🤣

It is truly fucking maddening that the creeping enshitification of everything has even hit rural public transport which was pretty damn shitty to start with. It's bad enough that the nearest decently equipped hospital is over 3 hours away by bus but then to can the service is bloody repugnant.

Re-enchantment as resistance means actual re-enchantment and actual resistance, not endlessly sharing posts about the latest terrible thing because that makes you feel better, makes it feel like you're doing something. I am not here for the voyeurism of destruction. You'll not get any of it from me.

I once interviewed Bill Hicks who talked about the pornography of doom. I refuse the pornographers of doom. I refuse to turn the terror of the now into a spectacle, into engagement farming. We can be engines of kindness, connectivity and wonder online, so forgive me for concentrating on that.

If you want an example, here. The major corporations are already training their AI to engage in corporate espionage and subterfuge. And yet, Google, one of the most powerful companies in the world, gets to hide behind the “rogue AI” bullshit and avoid consequences.

Japanese writer Jirō Osaragi (大佛次郎) and his cat, Japan,1930s.
Seated upon a woven cushion beside a sliding wooden frame, acclaimed writer Jirō Osaragi cradles a pristine white cat against his lap, his hands holding the animal with gentle, practiced ease. Draped in the soft, cascading folds of a dark traditional kimono, Osaragi turns his face toward the lens with a quiet, engaging gaze. The stark white fur of the feline creates a vivid focal point at the center of the frame, catching soft directional light that illuminates its watchful eyes and slender ears. Behind them, the subtle grid of a shōji screen and the deep gloom of a tatami room frame the pair, establishing an intimate domestic stillness captured in warm monochrome tones.
Photographed in the 1930s, this portrait captures Jirō Osaragi (1897–1973), one of early Shōwa-period Japan's most prominent literary figures, famous for his historical adventure novels such as Kurama Tengu as well as modern postwar reflections like Homecoming (Kikyō). Osaragi was celebrated not only for his prolific pen but also for his lifelong passion for felines, often sharing his home in historic Kamakura with dozens of rescue cats at a time, famously remarking that his feline companions provided an essential emotional anchor throughout his writing career. In 1930s Japanese literary culture, informal portraits of writers (bunjin) in their home studies served as a beloved subgenre of documentary photography, combining modern media craftsmanship with the timeless monozukuri (artisanal mastery) of portrait arts to reveal the human interiority behind celebrated literature.

Gutting ID was bad enough but if Rare wasn't older than Microsoft it was at least as old. Woman has the soul of a tramps discarded shoe, and even less culture. Sorry that's not going to make a lot of sense to a lot of you 🤣

Asha Sharma can get in the sea. She can get in the sea and catch a horrific cold. May her pillow always be warm. May her figs always be slightly underripe and have that nasty crunchy bit in the middle May the water always run right up her sleeve when she washes her hands

Indie bookshops across the globe might not all sell books in the same language, or have the same recommendations, or host the same events. But their message is consistent: Read books, and shop small 💓

Luminous baby. Photo from my collection, handwriting on it says “My Eddie’s kitten ‘49”.
Very high contrast black and white photo of a shorthaired tabby kitten on an ottoman. The kitten is sitting up and almost looks like it is glowing because it’s bathed in an intense sunbeam. The overall slight blur combined with the loss of details due to the high contrast exposure make this a technically imperfect photo but it has a dreamy quality that I love.
