  2. And yeah, Gillian Anderson, we all™️know her from way back, since the X Files - now she seems to finally have arrived where she belongs, concerning her wide range of projects:

    Did you know that she editored a book in 2024 titled "want" [yes, it isn't a capital W] that kind of sequels Nancy Friday’s 1973 book, My Secret Garden: Women’s Sexual Fantasies?

    50y later this is still very needed - and fulfilling to read.

  5. We have developed a gordian knot composed of systems of domination not least patriarchalcapitalism maintained by a democracy of representation, which has disempowered the majority.

    I am of a mind which takes the perspective of we are at a stage in conscious evolution, whereby we need to recognise ancient wisdom and interbeing as a relational method
    of what Vanessa Andreotti "Hospicing Modernity".

    We can (have to?) experiment with forms cosmolocalism and people power, participative democracy, as a a route through the present unravelling.

    A thought occurs how often do we recognise needs but instead focus on wants. A powerful aspect of domination.

  9. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    Our frustration is greater when we have much and want more than when we have nothing and want some. We are less dissatisfied when we lack many things than when we seem to lack but one thing.

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, Part 2, ch. 4, § 23 (2.4.23) (1951)

    It turns out nearly all the drawbacks with e-ink monitors were because the producers couldn't be arsed to make a good one. Some guy was like "fine, I'll do it myself" and he did it himself.

  14. A quotation from Samuel Johnson

    The desires of man increase with his acquisitions; every step which he advances brings something within his view, which he did not see before, and which, as soon as he sees it, he begins to want. Where necessity ends, curiosity begins; and no sooner are we supplied with every thing that nature can demand, than we sit down to contrive artificial appetites.

    Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
    Essay (1758-11-11), The Idler, No. 30

  16. @zwol I dunno, man. I’ve carted heavy loads out of roadless places with a 2-meter frame with pairs of handle bars front and back (think: like a stretcher), centered over a single bicycle wheel.

    Jokes aside, this is epic. Reminds me of East Asian trike-trucks. And 😍 that bold purple! #want!
