I remember reading this story a while back and thinking that not even the most dystopian Sci-fi films had a future where people were made blind because accountants said it wasn't cost efficient
As the future keeps rollin' toward us, we'll encounter more and more of these issues. "Oh boy--! Artificial sight for the blind! Oh no! They're pulling it from us because the bean counters said so!" "Oh boy, my implant countered my Parkinson's! Oh no, they're not supporting it because Musk said so!"
Their Bionic Eyes Are Now Obsolete and Unsupported
Second Sight left users of its retinal implants in the dark

[Thread] George Lucas, the three-second rule and the Jedi Starfighter example

It's a story that Doug Chiang (responsible for some of the finest Star Wars spaceship designs of the last 25 years) often tells at his conferences.

Remember to check your kids’ Halloween candy carefully this year! I just found 80mg of estradiol in this KitKat bar. Stay safe out there.

Disgusting, but also it is a kind of absurdity that you can look at the effects of a highly securitized border and say the border is “open.” If the border was open there would be no one rounded up to gawk at. bsky.app/profile/pari...
He’s literally standing around in his backwards hat looking at a bunch of migrants who’ve been rounded up and cheering the efforts of the border guards. Absolutely vile human being.

Last week in Scotland I saw first hand the **radical** effect beavers have on a river.

By building dams + felling trees, they had turned a fairly featureless straight channel into a complex, diverse weave of watery habitats, bursting with wildlife.

Ecosystem engineers is right. 🌎

it's bizarre to live your life with society endlessly debating your own personal sense of self. it's a violation.

no wonder our suicide rate is so high. merely existing in cis society is to be perpetually gaslit over a fundamental and key aspect of oneself.

it's torturous.
