🧵🧵🧵 I was going to write a simple sentence about the madness of the moment, but I got distracted by the U.S. president’s complaint that he was screwed out of the Nobel Peace Prize after bombing multiple countries, and then he bolstered his case with a plan to execute a guy in a wheelchair and ...

Dazzle-ships in Drydock at Liverpool, by Edward Wadsworth, 1919. It’s a topic that appears to have fascinated Wadsworth. I love every single one of his takes on the subject.

We should be celebrating a new milestone every week in the energy transition. Instead we are held in thrall by superstitious billionaires who think they are owed our worship and our bodies.

Trump’s obsession with demonizing the Somali community is dangerous and reprehensible. Hate to break it to him: Somali Minnesotans are resilient. We will not let Trump intimidate us. Our neighbors have our back.

Why would we let Anthropic decide this for us? If you ascribe to a moral philosophy or religion that disavows being mean to a toaster, that is fine. It is not however fine for a tech company to make, functionally, a moral law for a talking word toaster that is promised to rule us one day.

Notice the antique fields laid out for draft animals versus the more square fields where modern machines are used. Long fields helped save time and energy by minimizing turns at the ends of rows

It's Wold Octopus Day. Remember to hug your octopus.

O is for Octopus: A screenprint done for a show of alphabet illustrations. A pink-purple octopus posed with its arms all curling around every which way, holding a gold letter 'O' inscribed with a tentacle design. At the bottom there's a human skull nestled within the arms.

CephaLovePod: A screenprint of a red octopus posing with its mantle and arms forming a valentine heart shape. It is wrapped around a harpoon in place of Cupid's arrow.

4 Limbs Bad... 8 Limbs Good.: A screenprint of an orange octopus on the bottom of a sea wrapped around and cradling a broken human femur and a skull. A banner bears the title of the piece.

Octopus Samurai: A screenprint of a pink-ish octopus wearing blue-green Japanese samurai armor and a helmet with a gold crab-shaped crest on the front. The octopus holds a katana in one arm, a wakizashi in another, and a naginata with two other arms.

We should be hearing reports of new renewable records being broken and new storage technologies every week. Instead we have to listen to Trump's lies and be distracted by the AI speculators and their self absorption.

The dog whistles are gone, they're whistling in human register, restraints are completely discarded, but that also drives mobilization against them and polarization against their worldview
