The Americans are religious by a vast majority and we’re not, by an ever vaster majority. That informs why they take such a stupid thing so seriously.

These rocket scientists think they can prove that aliens would do a dumb thing by doing the dumb thing themselves.
“Why? In conversations about the Fermi paradox, Johnston realized such a mission would knock two “filters” off the list: Species won’t want to send spacecraft beyond their home star, or species will find that interstellar transit is too difficult.”

I relate. To a point. I’m currently mostly disconnected from all the creative stuff. Delving into old things, be it entertainment, music or art/design. But then, the whole onslaught where people think you prompt all your stuff… I fear that, but I don’t experience it. It does kill the spark.

Hún væri alveg múlbundin ef við færum í evruaðlögun. Alveg eins og hún hefði ekki getað tekið þátt í þjóðarsátt. Allt sem hún hefur gert hefur verið massíft verðbólguaukandi. Evrópuferli myndi sennilega stoppa það leikrit.

That rounded geometric? I remember that one. I probably downloaded it off of some elite Hotline server, onto my orange translucent tube screen iMac. I may have used it on a Reykjavik club flyer. Illicitly. It had some cool dingbats, right? Anyway, Thirst was the absolute coolest.

I kinda like Nixon. Being a contrarian I sort of must. Total villain but some great policies too. Also he was a central figure in the rather lovely sci-fi audio drama Space 1969 with Natasha Lyonne.

If you assume ai can do it, it probably can’t, and it’ll still do it. So weird. Can’t believe ai models don’t have safeguards for this type of nonsense. They shouldn’t necessarily block it, just make the idiot user acknowledge like 5 times that the outcome is fiction

“American service providers, private and public, increasingly run like ghost ships. Japanese technology and design seemed in greater service to humans, their journeys, and enterprises.”

In the West, so much of what passes for customer service these days is built to prevent contact with a customer altogether. The supermarket self-checkout, the support chatbot, the Airbnb lockbox for self-checkins, the bag drop at the airport. Efficient, technically. But efficient for whom?

bluesky's tag line is "social media as it should be" but it has no official slogan, or didn't, until this quoted post; I feel that I'll get as close to unanimous consent as is possible when I move that this slogan be displayed alongside the butterfly always & everywhere. so say we all?

Ok Ben Shapiro. Both of you also support Susan Collins. And this is not, in fact a nazi tattoo. The fact is that he’s the guy with the former nazi tattoo. That’s facts. You’re trolling. Trolling doesn’t care about your feelings Ben.
