I wrote a tribute for BYTE Magazine's amazing cover artist, Robert Tinney, who died Feb 1st
Tinney painted 80 vivid and surreal covers illustrating various concepts in early personal computing from 1978-1990, usually airbrushed with gouache. May he RIP ❤️

Everyone with any sense can see there are critical shortages of basic things like housing, sanitation systems, healthcare, public transit, etc.
In reality, degrowth proceeds from the position that there is already more than enough *productive capacity*.
i see that post about managing your agents and think “the promise of ai is that we can all be small business owners”
I'll be honest, this isn't about AI at all, it's about the increased expectations of productivity put on tech workers due to a declining rate of profit. all these new tech cos have sky high 9/9/6 expectations for workers; AI is, like all things, just a convenient proxy for exploitation.
the crowd is chanting "machine zone, machine zone, machine zone". there's a biplane flying overhead trailing a banner that says READ NATASHA DOW-SCHULL'S 'ADDICTION BY DESIGN'

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.
You need to understand that for every store that gets out, there are easily 5 more. There are segments of la frontera that are known as death valleys because of the difficulty of maintaining hydration and CBP‘s institutionalized culture of destroying water sources left behind by crossers & activists
I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

One of the purest examples of a moral panic in our time. A clinic that had years-long waitlists and required an average of 7 appointments before providing transition care smeared and shut down for being reckless.

saw this in the replies of a post about AOC maybe running for president and. come on. there is a case to be made that we should vote for AOC despite her past decisions, but that case needs to be made honestly! it is more than reasonable for voting to fund the iron dome to be disqualifying!
Fuck it, let's send Cuba aid ourselves.
Help establish the flotilla headed for Cuba and stock it full of supplies and much needed help!!

Last night I wrote out a full artist statement/essay to wrap this thread of exploration up, then slept for like 14 hours. Here you go: THIS ART ISN'T ABOUT AI
The US campaign to starve Cuba of fuel should be understood as genocidal. They are targeting a whole nation, deliberately destroying conditions necessary for life, in flagrant violation of international law. Pure barbarism, there is no other way to describe it.
Had a quest in dwarf fortress where I needed to go talk to this guy in a tavern so I get there, introduce my self, start to say what I need and he falls over dead because he had his head torn off years ago during world generation and never noticed until I made the game load his body into memory.
Capitalist progress!
I'm something of a highguard gregory myself
At this point remaining housed is a major concern. Please share this around, and if you can help, know I love you very much.

And to repeat:
The political faction saying we must all have to log legal ID before speaking or accessing speech on the Internet,
and the political faction who believe transgenderism is a dangerous mental contagion that spreads by speech about transgenderism,
are the same faction.
getting a sharp reminder this is one of those topics where expressing any sort of sympathy towards children's right to like, Use The Internet will get you completely batshit fucking responses

this is injurious to moral, social, and all human life
The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.
