Every one of these Silicon Valley goons would gladly create the pocket panopticon in exchange for never having to search through their emails again
Astra's plan is to have its assistant constantly watching, listening, and waiting for its moment to step in A truly great, proactive assistant is still a ways off, but one thing it will definitely require is a huge amount of information about you. That's another new thing coming to Astra: the assistant can now access information from the web and from other Google products. It can see what's on...

It really is. This paragraph hit me like a punch in the gut: we didn't just hunt this bird to extinction for food, but kinda for fun. Ugh
Excerpt from the Preface of The Passenger Pigeon: Its Natural History and Extinction. The text reads: Deep, youthful impressions are not easily effaced. One day while I was riding along the old Kilbourn Road in northern Ohio with my uncle, we came to a segment of the highway then bordered by fields. He told me that the area was once covered with a large beech forest. In spring when there were beechnuts on the ground, huge flocks of wild pigeons would appear. Their numbers were so great that the earth was shadowed and dung struck the dry leaves like hail. Men stood in the rift in the forest and fired at the passing birds until the road was dotted with their blue bodies, and more were killed than could be carried. He ended by saying, "We will never see the like again." The extinction of a species once so numerous seemed incredible.

Just announced: Pidgey is the new Pope. I had no idea he was even Catholic.

Anyway, he says you're all excommunicated

"Huh, must've stacked the chairs earlier."
A still taken from the 1982 film Poltergeist:. On the left, a woman looks at her young daughter in shock at the sight in front of her: six chairs stacked in a neat pyramid atop her small kitchen table. These chairs were on the floor around the table mere moments ago, before she had turned her back for a sec. This is start of poltergeist activity.

Splish splash, Pidge is taking a bath
A very puffed up pet pigeon (rock dove) taking a bath in a plastic blue wash basin. Pidge is looking directly at the camera, looking somewhat perturbed by having his privacy invaded.

He says "don't I know it" follow with a wink
A pigeon sunning himself, his tail feathers spread, atop a radiator. He is glorious. A small potted cactus sits in the background.
