I think about this LeGuin essay a lot. (link in next post; you should read it too.)
Its technology is how a society copes with physical reality: how people get and keep and cook food, how they clothe themselves, what their power sources are (animal? human? water? wind? electricity? other?) what they build with and what they build, their medicine — and so on and on. Perhaps very ethereal people aren’t interested in these mundane, bodily matters, but I’m fascinated by them, and I think most of my readers are too.

Technology is the active human interface with the material world.

But the word is consistently misused to mean only the enormously complex and specialised technologies of the past few decades, supported by massive exploitation both of natural and human resources.

This is not an acceptable use of the word. “Technology” and “hi tech” are not synonymous, and a technology that isn't “hi,” isn’t necessarily '“low” in any meaningful sense.We have been so desensitized by a hundred and fifty years of ceaselessly expanding technical prowess that we think nothing less complex and showy than a computer or a jet bomber deserves to be called “technology” at all. As if linen were the same thing as flax — as if paper, ink, wheels, knives, clocks, chairs, aspirin pills, were natural objects, born with us like our teeth and fingers — as if steel saucepans with copper bottoms and fleece vests spun from recycled glass grew on trees, and we just picked them when they were ripe...

One way to illustrate that most technologies are, in fact, pretty “hi,” is to ask yourself of any manmade object, Do I know how to make one?

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces. This is truly terrifying.

I think nearly the entire Horror genre boils down to the idea that it is worthwhile to fight until your very last breath. Even, and maybe especially, when there is no hope.

This is important because it helps frame the program as illegal (which it is) for people who were considering it. And though it's only an extension, it cuts the Musk administration off at the knees. The rollout has been an unmitigated disaster and this is the consequence.

One of my favorite less talked about David Lynch movies is The Straight Story. As odd as it was to see him make a sentimental movie, it showed his ability to take a minimal story and create something compelling without having to be dark and edgy. He was brilliant and will be missed. RIP David Lynch.
Richard Farnsworth as Alvin in the Straight Story.He's an olderman, with blues eyes, white hair, with a mustache and short beard. He's wearing a beige western hat with a blue, brown, and white flannel shirt, and dark green/gray suspenders.

I've always liked Daiquiri Ice from Baskin Robbins, but I've never understood it. The flavor is some kind of indescribable citrus, and that's always been part of its allure.

HNY. Spent time home with the fam. Once baby was asleep I got to finally finish Longlegs. Nicolas Cage was at times really creepy, but then sometimes recognizable and maybe a bit goofy - he was really good though. Maika Monroe was great. Didn't recognize Kiernan Shipka. Solid movie.
