The virtual worlds that people will be able to summon into existence with the coming AI capabilities are going to be unreal. Is anyone writing speculative fiction about this? The full scope of where this is going is far enough off that the author would be seen as prescient as Vernor Vinge.

It will never not be weird how widespead the practice is of incoprorating dependent animals into the household that serve no productive purpose. Like a weird hijacking of our parenting instincts.

Reminder that deal culture is not about spending less. It's about getting you to increase total spend a moderate amount in exchange for access to lavish consumption.

I do believe there is such a thing as good art and bad art. But I also believe there should be a museum of toy packaging and marketing art so I can stand in front of this Masters of the Universe poster by Earl Norem and talk about its composition like it's The School of Athens

TIL that we made medication (Bovaer) that reduces methane production in ruminants, and cuts down emissions by ~30%. TIL that the brits reaction to this was boycotting the major dairy company that deployed them through conspiracy brain. old.reddit.com/r/tesco/comm...

I thought Young Washington as a 2026 movie handled slavery well. The movie repeats a beat that doesn't let you forget that enslaved people were involved with every major part of the plot. But also the movie isn't about slavery and doesn't try to be.

I have a new post up at Nate Silver's site about UMich's sentiment survey. Please read it I think it's quite good. The upshot is that the survey is broken because it doesn't weight by party. If you're talking vibecession, get a different survey. www.natesilver.net/p/is-the-vib...
natesilver.net
Is the vibecession real — or is the survey broken?
A shift to online polling and undersampling of Republicans are skewing America’s most-cited measure of consumer sentiment.

“Restoring old-growth characteristics” is a newer practice within the practice of “ecological forestry” — and now it’s basically all I do! I wish there was enough characters here to say so much more! Happy to answer any questions you have. #forest #forestry #restoration #nature #ecology #love

Culture is incredibly flat now. Post-rise-of-woke it's not worth figuring out if someone donning Nazi symbolism is a fascist. They inevitably are. The modern mind can not comprehend it was not always this way.

If I were voting for a voting system and could ranked choice vote, I would put approval first and RCV second. If I could approval vote for a voting system I would vote for both. Unfortunately if we're plurality voting, RCV is the leader in the polls, so I'd vote for it instead.

The data on co-sleeping is very bad. They will scare the shit out of you at the hospital. If you breastfeed, bedsharing with reasonable precautions (firm mattress on floor, minimal bedding, etc) is quite safe and been done for for thousands of years. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Bedsharing may partially explain the reduced risk of sleep-related death in breastfed infants

Modern parents are all wearing hairshirts pointlessly. Your kid will turn out fine with lots of screentime! Tablet + curated content is the easiest way to give yourself time as a parent to be you. Parenting doesn't have to be a ceaseless grind.

Rare anti-capitalist take on this site that is correct. Sleep training comes out of miasma theory (separate air = better) + industrial era pressure for women to get unbroken sleep so they can work the schedule
