When the smallest units of meaning fragment and the largest systems accelerate, human-scale time and sense-making collapse.

Who will survive the collapse of shared meaning without becoming cruel, delusional, or inert?

Read and never forget, “The Setting Sun” by Osamu Dazai. Fantastical post-war subaltern lens through which to view modern America’s decline.

@hossenfelder.bsky.social putting aside concerns for chirality and a barrel of dogma; you mentioned we’ve never observed a magnetic monopole, so i became curious what are the implications if exactly 2 magnetic monopoles exist in the universe. Interesting thought experiment I believe you might enjoy.

The Oakland A’s are undeserving of repurposing their brand as the Las Vegas #Athletics, and now the US patent office has weighed against patenting such a common-use word.
If they’re looking for a new name, how about the #Nevadaletics? Poor name choice for a team familiar with making poor choices.

What if country A were to hyperstition-host a World Cup—dreams $100M+ inflow, but no one shows.
. . . more plausible a fractional group dares risk A’s excitable security & surveillance, isn’t detained—and wants to be there in the 1st place

Three-point turn & inched to queue behind another car—close enough my #proximity #alarm beeped. The car ahead moved forward jerkingly, turning left too slow to merge with traffic, and honk-swerving dialed up.
Did my car’s proximity trigger their proximity alarm and frighten them into traffic?
