It’s this scene from Until the End of the World with the dream recorder, which smart phones have already manifested but yeah this will be even more so.
Scene from Until the End of the World (Wenders, 1991). A woman is curled up in a hollow in a rock obsessively rewatching her dreams on a device that can play back recordings of them. It’s all she does anymore.

Here’s kbh inner city relative to calgary. Again pretty comparable size and for most people quite rideable with an e-bike. Beyond this you’d be more likely to take transit or drive but still a _lot_ of people’s daily trips fit in here.

I wouldn’t say it’s imminent but it’s not impossible. Copenhagen and calgary aren’t as wildly different as people assume.

I live in Calgary and e-ride all winter with no real issues. Commuted 10km to work. Got groceries. Hauled kid around. Hands/feet do get cold below -20, true, but -15 is very comfortable. Harder now that kid is too big for the back seat and has to be in seton one day, rocky ridge the next.

Old-timey image of Sir Bartholomew Higginsbooth flashing a sign and stating “portraits otherwise the incident did not occur” as an archaic riff on the pics or it didn’t happen meme.

In fact this gives me an idea. What if we had the literal fun police with a mobile sound system crawling around residential streets at midnight blaring crap don’t want to hear, you know, just for stampede, because it’s a party for everyone whether they like it or not right? Where’s your spirit?

Reagan campaign colluded w Iran to delay hostage release in return for what became Iran-Contra. Doesn’t even seem controversial to me, but ChatGPT said it’s not airtight so maybe slow my roll. I say, look at this scoundrel’s eyes as he’s caught with a follow-up question
Reporter: does that mean contacts w the Iranian gov?Reagan, panicking, evasive: well not by me, no. Reporter, back when they routinely asked follow-up questions: by your campaign perhaps?Reagan, evading 1000x harder now: well, I can’t get into details. Some of those things are still classified.
