I think a lot about how a historian specializing in the Civil War told me if we had hung all the generals and most of the Confederate officers for treason post war we'd be a completely different country today. I wonder if we'll learn.

An 8yo girl from Mountain Brook- the community next to where we live- a girl who our son may have swum next to at camp last summer- died at camp in the horrid Texas floods. Fuck every last one of you who is gloating about red states getting what we deserve. I hope you choke on dog shit. Go away.

"AI is coming for archaeology." Buddy. Get off ketamine. Those of us in the satellite/drone space using LLMs- local, single computer, no data centers required, have used them for decades (below). They are useful for parsing through datasets, but give NO meaning. www.frontiersin.org/journals/ict...

My grandfather (WWII hero) always told me that his favorite Nazi was one dead in a ditch with a lead brain implant. I want a world where everyone thinks this too.

I am very, very tired of people saying The End is Nigh! On both sides. It... isn't true. Dooming is dangerous as fuck. I am writing a whole book on how we survive. Jesus. Can we please stop.

The ancient Egyptians loved to go on picnics with their friends and family into the mountains/ gebels around Luxor 3500 years ago. We know this because they left inscriptions where they started "Spending the day..." Hiking and enjoying the outdoors is as old as we are.

This is what British cities do when they are frightened. Just put out some chippies and kebab to coax it back.
