Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

Republicans, in their infinite wisdom, left a big gambling loophole in the Medicaid work requirements. I'm no fan of the gambling industry, but if you are on Medicaid and struggling to deal with the work requirements, taking a $580 bet on both sides of an outcome is one way of getting around them.

i think the closest analogy to 'what is going on at AI companies' is 'what was going on at JPL in the 1950s,' where communists, Satanists, swingers and adherents of a bizarre Russian Orthodox-adjacent techno-optimist microsect ended up doing a tremendous amount of important rocket science

Every goddamn thing is spam and frauds. Every phone call, every email, every mail, every website, every post. You can't use anything without being on guard for almost all of it to be malicious junk. Even the messages I am beamed directly from God have turned out to be fraudulent.

Humans are capable of recursive self-improvement. TESCREAL talks about a "singularity"— a machine that learns to self-improve without limit. Using their terms, I sincerely believe the slow-takeoff singularity occurred in 3000 BCE when primates invented writing, which lets us make ourselves smarter.

In the old days (which, yes, now includes 2002), I think there was a general feeling that things said/done online had fewer consequences, and that stunting for the crowd was fine. In 2026, we know how wrong that assumption was. We gave ourselves lots of bad habits to unlearn. Not everyone has.

We *can* all do something (not spark wildfires, for example). But asking individual citizens to solve systemic problems is peak neo-liberalism. Not watering our gardens isn’t going to fix pipes or build reservoirs. Government needs to do more than ban barbecues and send scary alerts. NOW.

Google is single handedly causing the AI backlash. The expensive, pay-for models, are actually pretty good. But Google puts their dumb, cheap model front and center in every search. Unfathomable self-own. Some people still think "paid for AI" is just "free AI, but more." That's not at all true.

@citybeautiful.nebula.tv On Street Parking is bad because it significantly reduces visibility. If you really need it, make *deep* troughs on one side, maybe between street trees, so there's still margin between parked vehicles and the active lanes.
