Four decades back a major label released a debut album that sounded like almost nothing on earth while still sounding incredibly familiar. Our man in San Francisco Ned Raggett takes stock of it all

"I don't know" is my mission statement.
"I don't know" is one of the most powerful intellectual positions imaginable.
Where you plant your "I don't know" flag signals your research question, methodology, and even what *counts* as evidence.
Current commercial manifestations of GenAI make it so you cannot even see the spot on the ground.

Imagine when around 80% of the island of Ireland looked something like this, with lynx, wild boar, wolves, bears, and so much more. We should be a rainforest nation.
A *massive* part of our heritage has been stolen from us. Let's start bringing some of it back, via #Rewilding.

Those talking openly about witchery often focus on the active aspects – possibly because they like telling people what to do. There's a neglect of passive enchantments, those parts of witchery where we listen, where we commune with the land. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

It is true there is not enough beauty in the world.
It is also true that I am not competent to restore it.
Neither is there candor, and here I may be of some use.
