As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Was everything pirated to train AI just pumped thu their algorithm or was it ever saved in a usable database? I keep thinking how cool it would be to ask a real search engine about a quote from a specific chapter in a book.

Watching The Martian in preparation for Project Hail Mary. I think Gravity will be next, Life after that. Gonna skip Apollo 11 in favor of more sci-fi.
Any other suggestions?

I feel like people should stop using the word 'disenfranchise' in regard to voting rights. Most people assume it means something like 'dissuade' or 'suggest against' not block from allowing access.

three panel webcomic
1st panel: one man says to another "we invented a robot that answers questions"
2nd panel: he continues "we just have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day"
3rd panel: the other man asks "but it answers the questions correctly?" and the first man replies "oh my goodness, no. no no no no no."

From A Half Built Garden, by Ruthanna Emrys, re corporations:
"... they'd create needs in order to fill them. It looked symbiotic but it was one sided because most of the needs weren't real. Or else they created artificial shortages of real needs to make their goods worth more. They're parasites."

Remember when the season of a tv show was so long they could make a 'clip show'?

Just started reading 'A Half Built Garden' by Ruthanna Emrys and the current tech-bro stranglehold on things is distracting me from suspending disbelief that in 20 years anything tech related will have changed / improved 😕

This is why domestic "shuffle" flights between ICE detention centers have skyrocketed, much moreso than ICE deportation flights.

When you are moved to a different jurisdiction, you have to refile your habeas petition all over again. They want to wear people down so they'll give up on their cases.

Two hyper bunnies run around a table where a pot of coffee sits. They each tip  over their own mugs of coffee, although it is the dead of night. A third bunny, more relaxed, sips a cup of decaf tea

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.

But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

My 3.6 kw array cost about $5,900 (all-in) in 2019.
Estimating a very conservative 20 year lifespan, it gives me 1kw of power for 0.85 cents.
RGE's electrons cost about 27 cents all-in and is only getting more expensive.

If you're worried about Star Trek: Academy, remember the movie Space Camp. They are building characters who will be in serious trouble in the future.
Also, the Burn & hiatus of Starfleet are an awesome opportunity to reset a lot of stuff :)

Lifepod (1981) on Tubi is terribly filmed, but has an awesome cassette futurist aesthetic and anime type plot. Check it out!
