Here's what I wrote about it

Refactoring The Rise Of Skywalker

As a first draft there's a variety of fairly simple, fixable problems with this movie and a few major core problems which we're going to have to discuss at greater length. You're an experienced writer...

What follows this revolution is a millenia long stagnating feudalism. Is this what the end of history looks like?

This post you see is made using AI. The AI is called "Microsoft SwiftKey". I need this AI because my hand eyes coordination is pretty bad (also known as butterfinger syndrome).

Title page of a 1622 printed sermon titled "Woe to Drunkards" by Samuel Ward, preacher of Ipswich.

The upper portion bears the title in large capital letters with the phrase “excerpt Prov: 23.29–32” handwritten above. Below the title, the text reads "A Sermon by SAMUEL WARD Preacher of Ipswich."

The central illustration is divided into two horizontal panels, each depicting a pair of men’s legs and symbolic objects between them. The top panel, labeled "Thus of ould," shows the lower halves of two gentlemen standing with a Bible open between them, representing older, more virtuous times focused on piety and learning. The bottom panel, labeled "Thus now," shows similarly dressed legs but instead of a Bible, a set of playing cards, dice, and ornate goblets of wine sit between them, symbolizing modern moral decline and drunkenness. The inverted text "O MANNERS O TIMES" appears beneath the lower illustration.

At the bottom, the imprint reads: "London. Printed by A. Math. for John Marriott, and John Grismand, and are to be sold at their Shops in St. Dunston’s Church-yard, and in Pauls Alley at the Signe of the Gunne. 1622."

I still think it's so cute that the Perserverence landing system's parachute was striped in a way that spells out "DARE MIGHTY THINGS" in binary.

I think about this LeGuin essay a lot. (link in next post; you should read it too.)

Its technology is how a society copes with physical reality: how people get and keep and cook food, how they clothe themselves, what their power sources are (animal? human? water? wind? electricity? other?) what they build with and what they build, their medicine — and so on and on. Perhaps very ethereal people aren’t interested in these mundane, bodily matters, but I’m fascinated by them, and I think most of my readers are too.

Technology is the active human interface with the material world.

But the word is consistently misused to mean only the enormously complex and specialised technologies of the past few decades, supported by massive exploitation both of natural and human resources.

This is not an acceptable use of the word. “Technology” and “hi tech” are not synonymous, and a technology that isn't “hi,” isn’t necessarily '“low” in any meaningful sense.

We have been so desensitized by a hundred and fifty years of ceaselessly expanding technical prowess that we think nothing less complex and showy than a computer or a jet bomber deserves to be called “technology” at all. As if linen were the same thing as flax — as if paper, ink, wheels, knives, clocks, chairs, aspirin pills, were natural objects, born with us like our teeth and fingers — as if steel saucepans with copper bottoms and fleece vests spun from recycled glass grew on trees, and we just picked them when they were ripe...

One way to illustrate that most technologies are, in fact, pretty “hi,” is to ask yourself of any manmade object, Do I know how to make one?

it's funny how comets that enter the inner system get kind of all scrunkled up from volatiles subliming away. like compare arrokoth (43AU x 46AU orbit) to 67P/churyumov-gerasimenko (1.2AU x 5.7AU orbit)

I wonder if there's a Sci Fi story where this is a plot point. If the aliens can infect humans, that implies that they came from the same evolutionary source.

I read a story where the author uses alien hybrids to imply that the aliens are actually gaian in origin.
