It's Sci-Fi Cutaway Saturday! I love the ones that go underwater, like this 1977 cover art for "A Medicine for Melancholy," by Ray Bradbury. It's uncredited, but might be a Dean Ellis.

A big prehistoric fish with sharp teeth swims in a dark lake, seen through a cutaway into the water. Silhouetted ruins are visible above it. The entire scene is monochromatic in dark red.

I want to buy a thing and own it. Not rent it. I don't want to pay a monthly fee to access it. I don't want it to be stored in the cloud. I have to pay a monthly fee for an app to tell me how many subscriptions I'm paying for. It's insanity. We pay memberships for things that have ads. Why?

We hold these truths to be self-evident: In the interest of national security, Scotland and Ireland must immediately seize the Trump-owned golf courses on their land.

Someone should quietly explain to him that, if he makes any further movement on Greenland, all his UK golf courses will be vital to UK national security, immediately repossessed, and either rewilded or converted to wind / solar farms...

Banning X would have loads of upsides and really not many downsides for the government. The argument for shutting it down (distribution of CSAM) is incontrovertible, the people who are its most avid users hate the government anyway, and it would address threats to social cohesion and public order.

Time and again, people look back on horrors and wish they had taken action and done things differently. Trump and Putin have brought us to that critical turning point. We either remove them or suffer the consequences for generations.

Tell you wot, Sagan had it on the money...

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...

The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance”

The world is actually FULL of technologies that were created and then went away because they sucked and no one wanted them. it happens all the fucking time. The idea that as soon as they're here we all just have to learn to live with it and find a use for it is just stupid tech industry propaganda.

In my opinion the president shouldn't constantly be like "Holy shit did you guys see this?" and repeating a thing he kinda heard on TV. I don't think that should be mostly what the president does.

it does not necessarily mean this though, because the dominant way people end up on Wikipedia is through Google, and Google has loaded the top of all of its search results with AI-mediated info taken from Wikipedia. This does not mean consumers prefer it this way, the choice has been made for them

The best time to act was in Feb 2014. Then in Feb 2022. The next best time is now While Russia hisses at the West to dissuade it from helping Ukraine. Meanwhile it pulls materiel and fighters from abroad Russia sees the current approach to escalation management as weakness and exploits it as such

A recurrent theme throughout this war has been that Western decision-makers, driven by inherent risk aversion, are being pushed ever closer to a position where they will sooner or later have to accept tremendous risks to avert Ukrainian defeat and its catastrophic consequences.

A wonderful quote by Herbert Simon: "In an information-rich world, the wealth of information means a dearth of something else: a scarcity of whatever it is that information consumes. [...] It consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention."
