Great moments in Scottish engineering history: James Watt tries to work out how his phone attaches to his selfie stick.

Statue of James Watt. In his right hand he holds a telescopic stick with a frame at the top; in his left he holds a flat object about the size of a large smartphone. He is scowling at the possibly-not-a-smartphone as if he is tempted to yeet it into the sea. On that basis, it probably _is_ a phone.

A thousand times this. And what freaks me out is that there is a whole generation now that has no inkling that tech wasn’t that dominant not that long ago.

I really do think tech crossed a line at some point between "helping you do the things you want to do" on the one hand, and "helping you do the things tech wants you to do" on the other. At this point, we're all contorting ourselves to live how the tech industry thinks we should be living.

Last week I found myself surprised and delighted by this piece in DTLA. One sequence left me totally disarmed in an unexpectedly sweet way.

But Bryan, what if the breakup song was about your SPECIFIC breakup? Or what if you were a small Bay Area chain of hamburger & pie diners that wanted custom music about your menu items? Who could possibly write songs about seasonal pies?

I think we may be past “appearance of impropriety” as a standard. Moreover, it will be good to send a message: “It doesn’t matter how you acted in the court of public opinion. All that matters is the court of law.”

The fact that centrists don’t believe in anything _does_ make them very programmable. You just have to figure out the interface for it, before they go back to their default of taking instructions from the right.

Canidroids maybe? Rolls off the tongue a bit better IMO, although I grant they don’t have the aspects of autonomy that I’d expect real droids to have.

There’s a REASON that I think Fourth World mythos that Jack Kirby started meets the moment: the expressly fascist god who is the primary adversary seeks Anti-Life and uses media manipulation to turn people away from ethics and morality.
