DWink @d-winker.bsky.social · 15/02/2026Somehow, this news isn't everywhere. She asked her dad how he would feel if she had been sexually assaulted (referring to the Epstein files and Trump, it seems), he said it wouldn't be that bad because he has two other daughters. Apparently he then took her into another room and killed her. 010
DWink @d-winker.bsky.social · 14/02/2026I like that Cyberpunk is kind of a shared set of ideas more than a genre. 'Hyperion' references "that cowboy Gibson," i.e. William Gibson, author of Neuromancer, who coined the term "cowboy" - a hacker who runs around in the matrix. 000

DWink @d-winker.bsky.social · 01/02/2026I have a photo app for organizing before and after photos for things, and after every photo, it says, "This looks blurry: Keep? Retake?" Which is nice, except Keep Photo and Retake Photo SWITCH PLACES, so I constantly choose the wrong one. 000

DWink @d-winker.bsky.social · 30/01/2026The political reporting from Wired is amazing, in that it's as good as their other reporting, but it's about politics, which I never expected. It's what convinced me to subscribe. 000

DWink @d-winker.bsky.social · 24/01/2026There's a brief mention in Hyperion (1989) of orbital mirrors to give 24/7 light to plantations. The first time I heard about the idea was last year, because a company is trying to do it. 100
DWink @d-winker.bsky.social · 24/01/2026I'm finally reading Hyperion; it's great. The premise is that there's a mysterious creature made of metal spikes that likes killing people, but actually, it's just good storytelling. 000

DWink @d-winker.bsky.social · 16/01/2026I saw someone crossing the street get hit by a car back in college, sedan, right in the middle of the bumper. The car was turning from a stop at a 4-way intersection, crossed, hit at maybe 10 mph. They flopped onto the hood, limped away. No news report, so I think they ended up fine. No casualties. 110

DWink @d-winker.bsky.social · 04/01/2026Insulation from space! It's a dozen or so layers of metalized plastic separated by thin netting. It's specially designed to block radiative heat transmission, i.e., infrared. If you zoom in, you can see it's full of holes, but that's okay because there's no air in space. The layers are separated... 110
