Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

I think it's time to remake The Muppet Christmas Carol, we're Kermit plays Scrooge and Michael Caine plays every other role. That is what the world needs.

Shout out to my fellow millennials who had the book “50 Things Kids Can Do to Save the Earth” and worried about the hole in the ozone. Environmentalism for kids was big in the 90s.

We all know that hurt people hurt people. And now, with cuts to social supports, medical research, medical access, education, food assistance, and increasing trauma through ICE, what the US govt is doing is making more hurt people.

Hey @erinbiba.bsky.social this doesn’t qualify as weirdtok but it’s too delightful not to share. Pure joy at one of life’s most wonderful experiences.

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

An arial view of the capitol 1950. Austin looks like a sleepy, pastoral, bucolic burg, doesn't it? Hardly any traffic! Little did folks sitting out on their porches drinking lemonade or ice tea on a drowsy Sunday afternoon suspect what a metropolis it would become. From the Austin History Center.

Remember when the internet wasn't awful? We can go back to that.
Some friends and I have released the Resonant Computing Manifesto: a call to bring back such a time, to see if we can bring back a world where technology works for us, rather than against us.

The Resonant Computing Manifesto
Technology should bring out the best in humanity, not the worst—a manifesto for resonant computing built on five principles that reject hyper-scale extraction for human flourishing.
