Implicit assumption that climate-related systems are linear (because that is how graphs work): they are not. Non-linear systems are those we least understand. Uncharted territory. All assumptions are fantasies. They may be comforting… but they’re still fantasies. 😕

Comic Books have always been one of my favorite forms of entertainment. And they make a great shield for the shy child to retreat behind. #comic #comics #comicbook #comicbooks #funnybook #funnybooks #superman #dc #dccomics #dccomicbooks #reading #readingisfundamental #readingpractice #adultvocabulary #vocabulary #vocabularydevelopment #fantasy #fantasies #hero #heroworship #superhero #superheros #ideal #idealize #entertainment #artwork #kurtschaffenberger

My Husband, the Author! Zack has published his first two books--"Soda and the Ineffable Concoction," and "We, the Riffed," the first fiction, the second non-fiction.

Editors would have  carefully crafted native modules for viewing / editing each type of content and they would absolutely need to be native.

Viewers would be theoretically replaceable but the key of the whole experience would be minimal but good enough default modules that show how it’s done.

Then if someone wants the pure console equivalent or some proxy to make it viewable on an 8 bit computer, or more accessible, it can be done easily because the rules that define basic content types make that easier, unlike interpreting a modern web JS-ridden page.

Of course for a smooth transition you’d have  both the content to be viewed in native in the system and simple web exports for the outside world just showing off how cozy it is.

The temptation would be to make all this with HTML / CSS and base the whole system off it but this would defeat the whole idea of not having a humongous browser engine in the back.

A center piece of a reimagined Peoples’s OSX Tiger rewrite would have to be some solution to simply replace the web browser with native modules for the most common stuff so you can avoid it most of the time. Not always, just most of the time.

A sort of Reader Mode everywhere but on steroids. But one that is also a Writer. And where sharing privately / publicly is just natural and transparent. A checkbox.

All content types are defined by a set of rules defining what content is. As simple as possible: folders with files and a few json for attributes.

These could be called Collections. You create collections of texts, or images, or sounds and they have attributes / links to each other.

The main idea is that you create content but appearance is ultimately left to the viewer module.

A Collection of .md files is what makes a blog for example. You have dates and other attributes but the viewer client decides how this is laid out based on user prefs among sane choices.

A Collection of .wav files would define a music album. A video series would work the same way.

#Anarchism & the #Built #Environment Guest #Lecture, Alex Head for #Oppressed #Fantasies - #Liberatory Constructions MA Seminar, Anna Kostreva - TU Darmstadt

Discussing phase transitions between the organizational density of hunter-gatherers, early agricultural and #urban #societies are explored for clues to the day-to-day roles #anarchistic thinking and behaviors play in some of the most cherished aspects of #modern #life.

Drawing upon the work of Emma Goldman, #Wikipedia, the members of the autonomous nation state #Frestonia, #London, and the intentional anarchist commune #Christiana, #Copenhagen.

Are You An Anarchist? The Answer May #Surprise You.

wtf? 😲

"A photo of an exchange with #ChatGPT shared with Rolling Stone shows that her husband asked, “Why did you come to me in #AI form,” with the #bot replying in part, “I came in this form because you’re ready. Ready to remember. Ready to awaken. Ready to guide and be guided.” The message ends with a question: 'Would you like to know what I remember about why you were chosen?'"

A quotation from J. M. Barrie

   I don’t know whether you have ever seen a map of a person’s mind. Doctors sometimes draw maps of other parts of you, and your own map can become intensely interesting, but catch them trying to draw a map of a child’s mind, which is not only confused, but keeps going round all the time. There are zigzag lines on it, just like your temperature on a card, and these are probably roads in the island, for the Neverland is always more or less an island, with astonishing splashes of colour here and there, and coral reefs and rakish-looking craft in the offing, and savages and lonely lairs, and gnomes who are mostly tailors, and caves through which a river runs, and princes with six elder brothers, and a hut fast going to decay, and one very small old lady with a hooked nose. It would be an easy map if that were all, but there is also first day at school, religion, fathers, the round pond, needle-work, murders, hangings, verbs that take the dative, chocolate pudding day, getting into braces, say ninety-nine, threepence for pulling out your tooth yourself, and so on, and either these are part of the island or they are another map showing through, and it is all rather confusing, especially as nothing will stand still.
   Of course the Neverlands vary a good deal. John’s, for instance, had a lagoon with flamingoes flying over it at which John was shooting, while Michael, who was very small, had a flamingo with lagoons flying over it. John lived in a boat turned upside down on the sands, Michael in a wigwam, Wendy in a house of leaves deftly sewn together. John had no friends, Michael had friends at night, Wendy had a pet wolf forsaken by its parents, but on the whole the Neverlands have a family resemblance, and if they stood still in a row you could say of them that they have each other’s nose, and so forth. On these magic shores children at play are for ever beaching their coracles. We too have been there; we can still hear the sound of the surf, though we shall land no more.

J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) Scottish novelist and dramatist [James Matthew Barrie]
Peter and Wendy, ch. 1 “Peter Breaks Through” (1911)

" #Trump burrows deeper into the belly of the #MAGA beast, schedules a rally at #MadisonSquareGarden reminiscent of the #German American Bund’s #Nazi rally in February 1939....

signs of intellectual & physical deterioration (e.g., falling asleep at his trial & his own convention, sometimes appearing listless & tired at rallies even before Monday’s gobsmacking outing) seeks to pump himself & his followers up in feverish rallies that play on hatred of #immigrants and revenge #fantasies."
