Stories will still be telling themselves at sunrise

Ithaca, NY

[Also posting for @deepadaptation.bsky.social]
Is there any really all-good social network site? “There’s no exclusion zone.” I never stopped using Twitter. It’s a bummer that people I like and follow have scattered to various platforms.

The transhumanist trajectory is not for the faint of heart.

Dan this is really bad. I’m sorry.

Whoever shows up will be the right people to show up, whatever happens will be the right thing to happen, and hopefully more happy hours and who-knows-what will develop from there.

It’s not a non-sequitur to combine ‘happy hour’ with ‘holy shit.’ We need to be in relationship and laugh together as a precursor to everything else. Join us at Personal Best on Wednesday June 11 from 5-6pm, and then again on June 18 from 5-6pm.

If you suspect or accept that ever-worsening crises are the way of the world, and that community care and shared effort are the path forward... Join a weekly happy hour to meet others over a drink to talk about how we might imagine and create a future we prefer.

I think mom topped this chestnut. (I built a taller fence after taking the video).

You must give off a good vibe 🌝

Been thinking about the phrase cosmic optimism lately. Don’t normally go for framing that longs for optimism or hope but this combo feels all right.

Weekends two or three for me!

This was my Saturday highlight, and it was a highlight. Let’s see what today brings…
“A play with no men and no boats” !!

It was hilarious.

Watching a dozen young actors exuberantly having fun was a tonic to current events for sure.

You were dedicated to be there on opening day.

Also many people don’t know what SSP is and see charts like that and cry wolf (whether wolf is at the door or not). The wolf is at the door but is he coming in and when?

Some don’t want to see it & some are prepping their private storm shelters. A universally adopted third path would be so nice…

I forgot you were here on BS oops.
There’s no exclusion zone….

I’ll see how I feel in a few days; perhaps differently.

“Survival is insufficient” for sure. How one goes about surviving - thinking beyond music and beauty and art, which is mandatory - is the very hard question.

I seem to recall a wide swath of storms across the central US over the past two days. The catastrophic damage from “surgical” storms entails lesser overall costs than a hurricane, but these are also growing in size and frequency and cost. (And are subjectively more terrifying too IMO).

I’m not reading the editorial - why lol it’s the NYT - but my take on this particular screenshot is that you highlighted the wrong half and this whole specific section is on point.
