1/x As people on X were freaking out about a kite assisted ship (WOKE!!), I have another one: The rotor ship or Flettner ship. It uses large, spinning vertical cylinders called Flettner rotors to harness wind power and propel the vessel through the Magnus effect.

Finland has the lowest homeless rate in Europe. They designed apartment blocks for the homeless in which rent automatically adjusts to income, with mental-health support, job assistance & social workers on site. Stable housing creates a foundation for employment, recovery & long-term independence.

a fascinating article on Dungeons and Dragons in the modern age. it's not really about what the headline says, more that the game may have, in some cases, "reflected the values and attitudes of the day". the reason to read it is for the different commentary on the game today archive.ph/TqcS3

I think that “Which seems bad”’ is masterly use of understatement…
This seems really awful, malignant, dangerous…potentially extremely harmful on an individual and societal level
Makes me feel kinda sick

We’re watching a shift where AI simulates the cohesion and reinforcement that used to require an entire online community. A single person can now build a complete parallel reality with nothing more than a prompt window. Which seems bad.

The plan is to create a marketplace of tradeable species. You'll be able to advance these numbats here as a tradeoff for some altogether more gormless and lumpen an animal, somewhere else, obstructing profit. The market becomes arbiter of which species gets it in the neck. Cool. An AI should run it.
