Does no one else find this an unforgivably stupid question? Emissions reductions won't make a heat wave NOW survivable. Likewise, more homes can have AC, heat pumps while overall cutting greenhouse emissions. This isn't an "either/or", both are needed. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Poll also finds sizeable majorities who believe it should be easier to install air con in homes

The primary job of science fiction is to discuss the present via the illusion that it is the future

The difference in utility between the use of ML to tackle big data problems that would otherwise be intractable & the use of LLMs to produce pointless slop is so large they cannot both be usefully described as “AI“. The first is making real progress, the second is dragging us towards the abyss.

Countdown to launch. T-minus 10 days (but your book will arrive before that). #BookSky Unfortunately, this book is all too relevant in our current political moment. Help spread the word. nyupress.org/978147983829...

All hands on deck, folks. This will effectively eliminate all books by queer authors and about queer lives, even books with secondary characters, books where the author or a character uses they/them pronouns. This bill will erase identities and harm kids. And it won't stop at public schools.

The secret to getting yourself to do art studies, study the faceclaim for your Blorbo(Vico Ortiz for #Murderbot in this case) #TMBD

A series of sketchy, inky studies of Vico Ortiz's face but with added tech augments to make them more murderbot looking

They are being so reasonable here so I'll scream about it: FFTRP lead a huge coalition, including @authorsabb.bsky.social to make this happen. It was back breaking labor to fight a bill that could be a DISASTER for the fight against book bans nationwide. Heroes. For god sake, pls donate to FFTRP.

A few more photos, hopefully to brighten a sucktastic day. Some were taken by me and some by @troyce.bsky.social #murderbot Descriptions in the alt text.

Close up of the Murderbot helmet, being held by one of the props people. You can see the careful scarring and damage added by props, which I felt was one of the elements that highlighted the creativity of everyone who worked on the show.

I just thought this sign in the lunch area was cool. It says "Sanctuary" because that's the code word Apple was using for the show at the time.

This area was also used for people who just needed a table to work on. When the unit publicist was interviewing me, there was a props person working on making the pieces of one of the weapons look like it had been blown apart in an explosion.

This is a run-through of the scene we got to watch filmed the day we were there. We were sitting on a bench inside the hopper. You can see Noma Dumezweni, Akshay Khanna, Alexander Skarsgård, and Sabrina Wu, some not in costume yet. There's also a crew member standing in the back.

This is part of the gigantic camera that extended through into the back of the hopper. Also you can see the two monitors, one for the big camera and one for (I think) the steadycam. This is where we sat for most of the day, in a little area in front of the monitors where the producers and guests sit. You have to be careful moving around the soundstage, especially when the lights are down. It was so big it was easy to get lost.
