Writing moody science fiction and fantasy, when I can get the time. Also chopping things with swords. Current project is Cloud Goddess, a glimpse into the far future of a world ruled by AI demigods. They/them.

amazing how the Silicon Valley sales pitch suddenly became “we’re bringing about a bright future where everyone but the ultra-rich will be forced to return to the fields”
and they genuinely don’t seem to believe this could eventually end poorly for them

My ancestors worked in factories so my parents could go to law school.
“Humans can just go get manual labor jobs if desk jobs are repaired with AI” is both not going to suffice to provide enough jobs and is also going to result in massive societal anger because manual labor jobs often *are terrible*, which is why people have worked hard to avoid them for generations.

It’s still remarkable that Disney produced - and released - this segment in 1940. A horror short that should rank with its Universal monster movie contemporaries… The animation is lush and experimental, and really shows off the Disney special animated effects team…

That's not-quite-one-tenth of the population of Alberta. All people who not only signed, but that a) cared enough to find a signing place, b) traveled to said signing place at the right time, and c) signed.
That's great news.

Today, I submitted 456,365 Albertans’ signatures to Elections Alberta, petitioning the Premier to do the right thing, avoid a divisive and economically harmful referendum, and allow MLAs to vote and reaffirm that Alberta’s future is in Canada.🇨🇦

Brilliant. Haven't seen these before. A solar-powered, e-ink bus sked that refreshes every 30 seconds with the latest bus wait times, at a bus stop. So simple, effective, cheap.

Paul Krugman gets it. He knows that legacy media is enabling our slide into autocracy, citing as example the fact that Karen Attiah was fired for refusing to canonize Kirk, while "Ezra Klein has faced no consequences ... for declaring that Kirk did politics 'the right way'." 🔥

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."
Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.
Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.
We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

Been quietly pleased at the changes in tone with the Truth and Reconciliation stuff this year. It's always felt like the news has been *apologetic* for including this in their news cycles. This year it's feeling a lot more sincere, at least in places.
It's the work of generations.

Missing from this is just because Trump has stopped talking about the 51st state does not mean he's stopped coveting our country. When asked, his WH press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said he still thinks Canada would be better off being a state.

Can't say this enough. Aesthetics over function is an indicator. Courtesy over honesty is an indicator. If they're more concerned over you swearing than about the human rights violations you're talking about as you swear, you're in fash country.
I know some morons will whine but one pet peeve of fascists are aesthetics over functionality.

Opening up 90s/00s park, a park entirely made of stupid consumerist shit like Walmart and Blockbusters and toy ads that these fuckers get so nostalgic over, and then on opening day locking the gate behind them so the rest of us can make society better than this shit.
This is doing numbers on social media right now and it's so depressing how people truly yearn for this shit and want to preserve that feeling indefinitely like a mausoleum of false memories.
