#DVpit #A #SFF #IMM #ND Four child soldiers form a found family that rejects war crimes, until their trauma is exploited to break them up. Those that survive despair to break the cycles of trauma and genocide. But when the next generation catalyzes their stunning comeback, both get another chance.

Thanks! Did I mention sentient ships raised as children by a polyamorous family?

There is no contradiction at all. Ilya Prigogine got his Nobel Prize for discovering that open systems far from equilibrium reduce their entropy on average by offloading excess to their environment. That leads to low-entropy systems in high-entropy areas, the source of all structure in the universe.

#Septopolis City layout in my story? Cities on Venus are flocks of airships. They keep changing shape, self-organizing through the rhythms of complex city life, which looks similar to how starling flocks are in the linked video—except the flying cities are miles in extent. youtu.be/V4f_1_r80RY

There are other manuscripts, as well. But the Florentine Codex is indeed very important. Its author, the Franciscan missionary Bernardino de Sahagún, devoted his life to collecting as much information on the Aztec culture as he could find. And boy, was he a busy man!

Re-evaluate? It doesn’t matter what improvements, even infinite computing power, thermodynamics is a bitch. A purely digital system cannot be far from equilibrium and therefore cannot reduce its entropy. AI must be plugged into a human framework to achieve anything. Left on its own, it’ll stagnate.

The real danger is that they are useful but can’t go over mediocrity. That way, everyone is encouraged to stoop down to their level instead of pursuing excellence. Because a purely digital system cannot reduce its entropy, this can lead us all into stagnation and decay.

The ‘tl’ consonant in Nahuatl is so damn hard to pronounce! The sides of my tongue just don’t drop down fast enough. Must be why so many people mispronounce Aztec names all the time, as if ‘tl’ is really a ‘t’ followed by an ‘l’ instead of a devilishly difficult single consonant.

This is refreshing. The AMA is standing up to Trump. They said acquiescence would be "an abdication of doctors’ moral duty." Would that more of our institutions & powerful groups were doing the same, instead of rolling over & presenting their bellies, like the NYT. www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

America’s doctors just voted for war with RFK Jr.

The American Medical Association has sought a working relationship with the health secretary. Members saw moral compromise.

Far more interesting is what the sky is like when viewed from the clouds, where the temperature and pressure are almost like on Earth—the perfect place for flying cities of the future colonists. The answer may surprise you. 2/2 tinyurl.com/yb447xad
