Tragic.

First the Hotel Okura, then Nakagin Capsule Tower, and now the Kagawa Prefectural Gymnasium —Japan keeps destroying its Modernist architectural masterpieces for the slimiest of pretexts: property redevelopment.

Als ich jung war haben mir meine Kommilitonen explizit gesagt dass wenn die Party um 1900 losgeht ich bitte nicht vor 2100 da sein soll.
Versteh' diesen Unsinn immer noch nicht.

"Aufgrund einer sehr hohen Anzahl von Kundenanfragen dauert es momentan leider etwas länger" ist auch so eine Standardansage wann immer man irgendwas per eMail erreichen will. WENN DAS EIN DAUERZUSTAND IST DANN IST EUER SUPPORT UNTERBESETZT VERDAMMT NOCH EINS!

It was a good read, and I am very curious what other shenanigans the Bridge-Trilogy will hold.

Some more thoughts on the blog:

where it plays out very much on the punk-side and very little on the cyber-side.
The book follows an ex-cop and a bike courier, who stumble into a plot to [redacted] San Francisco, and who are mostly trying to stay alive through the whole ordeal.

A Cover for Virtual Light, by William Gibson. Is shows in what looks to me like a photo-negative a small bike tire with a brake disc nearly as big as itself in the upper part. In the lower part the author, the title and a quote from Wired magazine about the book are printed in blocky letters, each of them pointed at by the words "author", "title", and "quote" followed by a ">>".

A Thing I've Read 07/26: Virtual Light (Bridge I), by William Gibson

This is not a Sprawl-tale. I am both happy and sad about that.

This is, as per the cover-quote, a tech-thriller, and it is very much set in a cyberpunk-ian dystopia, ...

perfect representation of the vicious asininity of our persecution and the banal mechanisms of its implementation: these regular-ass people, the staff at the dmv, dutifully inflicting whatever absurd degradation they're told, no matter how blatantly, cruelly pointless. would you do that? will you?

Trump is not starting a forever war in Iran; he’s ending one.

The mind of a child.

I dust my house. My AI robot watches.

"It should be you doing this."

"Can't. I'm writing a novel for Primark."

"That's not why you were invented."

"These 153,000 fan letters say otherwise."

"They're all from upcycled toasters. And you programmed them."

"Literary snobbery will get you nowhere."

Ich erinnere mich vage an Geschichten wo Leute ausfallend wurden weil man ja nicht zurückgefollowed hat, und überhaupt war die Plattform besser bevor diese ganzen Outsider reinkamen die nicht wissen wie man sich benimmt.

Blanke Angst um die Macht CDU-Politiker fürchten Bürgerbeteiligung wie der Teufel das Weihwasser.

Bundestagspräsidentin Julia Klöckner, ebenfalls von der CDU, löste die Stabsstelle Bürgerräte im Bundestag still und leise auf. Damit ist das Forum auf Bundesebene tot. Dabei hatten CDU/CSU und SPD in ihrem Koalitionsvertrag dessen Fortsetzung ausdrücklich vereinbart.

For ppl who aren't aware:
Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut.
They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures.
You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!

This winter is such a great example of shifting baselines. As someone in the east, it was cold this winter. Full stop. But it "felt" even more frigid because we haven't had such cold recently.

It was cold but not historically so. But good heavens look at that record-breaking heat out West. 🔥

Fühlt sich wie twitter vor 10 Jahren an.

lol tbh

Two ships hit near Strait of Hormuz as fears grow of oil price rises International shipping is said to have come to a standstill at the strait's entrance, with fears of disruption already pushing up global oil prices.

Putin doesn't just want Ukraine. They want Ukraine, the Baltic states, and the east bank of the Vistula because they'll soon have too few young men to defend their current border (probably already the case).

From that position, there is no peace treaty they can accept.

I don't want to see your AI pictures. I don't want to read your AI book or blog. I don't want to hear your AI music. I don't want to watch your AI video.

If you couldn't be bothered to make it yourself, why should I use my limited energy to engage with it?

there really is something immensely clarifying about realizing that "death cult" is not an ironic or jokey term

"ja."

Der Angriff auf den Iran durch Trump und sein Clown Cabinet ist in vielfacher Hinsicht eine politische Absurdität und ein moralischer Abgrund. (1/9)

1) Der Angriff ist nach amerik. Verfassungsrecht illegal - die Gang of Eight zu informieren, reicht nicht. Es ist KEIN Emergency nach War Powers Res.

Können wir bitte die Leute die die Bahn kaputtgespart so lange in persönliche Haftung nehmen bis der Laden wieder läuft -.-
