being ruled by tiny men bereft of both curiosity and the ability to feel wonder is a terrible fate

As someone who works on the interaction layer of software: it's this.
Stupid trends in hardware self correct after a generation or two, but *software* ratchets in the direction of unusable because designers are occupied with interaction patterns and not whether the fucking thing works properly.

i think it's useful to look at areas where the *tech* has gotten much better while tech *interactions* have gotten way worse. streaming has gotten worse, google search has gotten worse, digital cameras are leaps better. apple's silicone is so good it's threatening their user upgrade cycle
it’s so weird to look around and realize like, tech and media are materially worse than a decade ago

my “AI is over” anecdote is that my wife was hired over the summer to write scripts for a big tech company explaining how to use their AI tools and after many rounds of revisions, the latest notes said “we’re finding a lot of AI fatigue among our users” and to remove all references to AI
Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

the crimes are obviously worse but there's also the constant indignities of all formal levers of government communication being taken over by people with a schoolyard bully's vocabulary and the pugilistic instinct of a drunk at the second bar that's cut them off that night

Behold, the Sword of Power! Excalibur! For anyone waiting for things from me, this is why: my brain has been consumed by John Boorman and Excalibur, both of them dear to my heart. The restoration is stunning, and finally presents the film in the right aspect ratio on home video... 🧵1/8

lol, but can I also just say that if you'd shown me this picture and asked me who it was I would never ever have recognized that I was looking at Kate Beckinsale. Did she undergo a Face/Off procedure with a real housewife of Salt Lake City or something?

I was walking home from the corner store and passed a man in a black full length hooded woolen cloak and I'm sorry, that needs to come back as standard late fall wear. November is meant to say things like "Hark! Weary traveler! I feel I must warn you the local Public House is out of Coke Zero."

Shiny, uncomfortable looking metallic linens are one of my favorite "futuristic" TNG things. Just the absolute least cozy looking beds on TV. There is no scarcity, there is no poverty or widespread disease, everything in the Star Trek future is better, except for the beds which are scratchy as hell
Pillows (sometimes the exact same one) made from the same shiny colourful material are seen several times aboard the USS Enterprise-D (#StarTrekTNG's "The Child"↖️, "The Survivors"↗️, "The Offspring"➡️, "Night Terrors"↙️, "Half a Life"↘️) but also on Rutia IV ("The High Ground"⬅️).

You guys interested in more stuff I pulled from Ron Moore’s ‘90s AOL chats with DS9 fans?
This was in reaction to a Season 5 ep retconning Dr. Bashir’s history. OH NO! The sacred CANON was violated!
Ron has the correct perspective (and more patience than I would have.)

Very serious biopic about the top American fighter ace of WWII (40 kills), which doesn't sound like a real exercise of my power until you learn that his name was Major Dick Bong
As despotic president, I would require that his name was said at least once every minute of runtime

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Finding different ways to name 100 different head slot magic items is a staple of fantasy rpg design.
I still remember the joy I felt when I asked you if I could name a hat a "chapeau" and you were all "sure"
It felt like such a triumph at the time
