There is a maximum amount of time each day you're supposed to focus on the world's problems instead of your own, after which you have a legitimate need for therapy on your thought processes being self-destructive. At some point you have to stop scrubbing your hands you are bleeding into the sink.

As a boy growing up on a farm in Michigan Henry Ford was fascinated by the steam engines used in agricultural work. This spark shaped the modern world.

A delightful piece from Hollis that is sure to interest anyone who thinks seriously about education and/or our future among the stars
This started out just as whimsy but hey, if legislatures are going to mandate Western Civ as well as AI, we might as well think through the implications.

Periodically I'm asked to talk at a class at Stanford about space exploration and every time I walk away with emails from students looking for their start in something meaningful. Today is one of those days.

Looking through the @thesiltverses.bsky.social Q&A transcript for the title of something I want to check out, I snorted at the unintentional tonal whiplash of this segue. I can’t even claim the comedic timing, it didn’t even register in the moment because that was *hand wave* all of it.

Last year my childhood home was gutted by fire. I've been helping my mother recover since then. One thing I learned is that many companies will take 3D scans of the aftermath of a fire.
If your house was damaged & a 3D scan was taken then get it. Seriously. Get it.
