"Planet Laika" · 10:17pm Jan 26th, 2023

Well, I only watched this vid, not played game itself.

Interesting to think in context of permacomputing, because "outdated"/low power graphics doesn't mean obsolete as in irrelevant story.

Of course there are other recent examples of using this idea of sapuent dog in space, namely small segment about Cosmo.

"If only we acted eairlier!" · 3:47am Jan 26th, 2023

A bit of unknown for me early history of human-inducted climate change ...

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/08/01/magazine/climate-change-losing-earth.html

99 journal pages!

I have sad feeling in 30 years someone will look 30 years back and ask - " why they/we not acted bolder?!" (not only on climate, but number of other problems, interrelated to it.)

" Peak everything" (2007) · 11:17pm Jul 30th, 2022

Once upon at time Chatoyance noted somewere on this site, in connection to her Conversion Bureau future stories: "it will be peak everything".

I looked up this exact phrase and book surfaced! Non-fiction, of course .

I like honest books, and this one definitely feels honest enough for me.

As somewhat more math-involved 'spiritual' follow-up you can read

picture picking and text by Eliza Daley

I read much more than I write, and thankfully this specific horse pic did not lead to me being angry. Because, well.. this is about contributing to someone's/collective life instead of exploitation

guess this kind of voting might be more useful than high-end political voting (President of Country, etc)

"On education" (repost) · 12:52pm Jun 7th, 2021

I found this theme resonating...

https://www.resilience.org/stories/2021-06-07/on-education/

Moreover, through this educational system where every child is judged by these dominant group standards, we are training our children to aspire to be like that dominant group, to want to join that group, to believe that they are less worthy or even worthless if they are not members of that group — when almost nobody ever joins that group!

Any significant political change at this point will be built on solidarity or not at all.

In the US and probably elsewhere, Electoralism can't save us for a host of structural reasons.

Which means the only way we're going to navigate the next 10 or 20 years of troubles is to organize with each other. It doesn't matter what form that will take, it'll need to grow out of established trust relationships.
