Re-reading Blindsight Slept-on sci-fi

Blindsight by Peter Watts still slaps. Glad to find out he's working on a TV adaptation with Neill Blomkamp.

A wide aspect shot of a pine wood following an autumnal rain shower. A light mist hangs in the air catching crepuscular rays as they shoot through the canopy at 45º from the top right and illuminate the damp ochre ground and green, yellowing, and browning ferns in the foreground.

Ayo?! has bsky finally fixed the disgusting video compression?

A high contrast black & white photo of a tree that looks incredibly climbable. The trunk forks close to the ground, with one bough at almost 45º. Both boughs fork after a few feet into thick lateral perches that ultimately sweep back up towards the canopy. The sun pierces the canopy, illuminating a patch of undergrowth beneath a perch.

A strong affordance for climbing. One day I will.

A circular infographic chart categorizing cheeses by type of milk and texture. At the center, four sections are labeled cow, sheep, goat, and buffalo, radiating outward into concentric rings for textures: soft, semi-soft, semi-hard, and hard. Each cheese name is placed within its corresponding segment, with illustrated wedges of cheese circling the outer edge. Cow’s milk occupies the largest portion, featuring well-known varieties like Brie, Camembert, Taleggio, Havarti, Gouda, Cheddar, and Parmesan. Sheep’s milk includes cheeses such as Roquefort, Manchego, and Pecorino Romano. Goat’s milk features options like Chèvre, Crottin de Chavignol, and Humboldt Fog. Buffalo is represented by Mozzarella di Bufala Campana and Buffalo Blue. The cheeses are organized visually so that softer varieties appear closer to the center and harder ones toward the edge. Small colored drawings show each cheese’s texture, rind, and tone, from creamy whites and soft rounds to golden blocks, crumbly wedges, and blue-veined interiors. The background is a deep charcoal gray, making the warm oranges, yellows, and creams of the cheeses stand out clearly.

Same! Even being a fan of Hawley and knowing how exaggerated his characters are, I was not prepared for how wacky eps 1&2 were, so I wasn’t hopeful. But from 3 onwards I can’t wait to see what wild shit unravels each week.

One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested. Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away. House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.” Extinction Rebellion: how successful were the latest protests? Read more House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: “The problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We’re not making them go floppy. They’re just sort of being a nuisance.”

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".
