I believe that fascism can't be an end point, but feudalism can. If your whole philosophy is breeding humans in order to improve them, but your standard for improvement is "everyone should be more like me," you know what you get? Royal incest, that's what. (I also maintain that fascism isn't […]

I’ve been developing something called the Human-Made License, a Creative Commons–style way to certify that creative work was made without genAI. I’m looking for feedback from artists, designers, and writers before the public launch. DM me if you’d like to take a look at the first draft.

The Anthropocene era will be followed by the Plasticine.

‘I cannot be confident that I will make a difference. I am reminded, however, of what Senator Robert F. Kennedy said in 1966 about ending apartheid in South Africa: “Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a […]

The Largest Roman Mosaic Found in London in 50 Years In the heart of London, archaeologists working on Southwark Street uncovered the largest Roman mosaic found in the city in half a century. Discovered in 2022 by the Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA), this […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

Make him the world's first and LAST trillionaire.

Someone put this "blue plaque" on a London Tesla showroom to mark his becoming the world's first trillionaire. “World’s first trillionaire Elon Musk. Could have solved world hunger but funded fascists instead. Bellend.” […] [Original post on social.vivaldi.net]

So, when you point out innumeracy I think you should explain it with patience. Explain it understanding that some people who may be well informed and intelligent in other matters might not understand why, for example, decreasing by more than 100 percent is nonsense. (100 percent is all of […]

Often we will pick out some instance of the president making a mathematical error. Abusing percentages, confusing billions and trillions... a lot of people nodding along pretending they agree and understand that he's making no sense... don't really know what we're so mad about. And they don't […]

And perhaps there is something pretentious, anxiety inducing, something deeply nerdy and off putting about knowing your way around numbers. Speaking about them with care. That's our fault, mathematics teachers. We can't keep traumatizing the youth and alienating people from mathematical […]

Mathematics is a language. But innumeracy is also a language and our president is fluent. It's not just that he exaggerates, lies, and says things that make no sense when talking about numbers "often" no this is something deeper. He is deeply committed to *never* speaking about any statistic […]

It's fucked up that SNAP is a political football and didn't phase anyone but 10% delayed flights are a "serious issue" that is bringing politicians to the table. #healthcare and #snap are way more important than flight delays. We will survive logistics inconveniences, unlike not having health […]

If your job is to build software and you decide that you’re not going to support “old devices “ then you need to understand that you’re making life more difficult for people who are already struggling with tech. Elderly, people with disabilities, people who lack the means to buy the latest […]

My dad who is 81 recently got into trouble cause the app where he pays his bills decided that his phone is too old. He has a fully functional phone that’s a couple of years old but he now needs to throw it away because of software. I think this is bullshit.

Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?” A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages. It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning. Since then, it’s only gotten worse. Do the steps sound familiar?

I haven't found decent sushi up here in north Idaho and I'm sad. 😔 There is grocery store sushi, though, which is wild. It's terribly expensive and, well, you know... grocery store sushi.
