I just recently reread Gibson's @greatdismal.bsky.social 30 year old Sprawl Trilogy and today there's a great piece in the New Yorker. A must read! www.newyorker.com/culture/the-... "to be human is not to have answers. It is to have questions...The machines can’t do that for us. Not now, not ever."
Will the Humanities Survive Artificial Intelligence?
Maybe not as we’ve known them. But, in the ruins of the old curriculum, something vital is stirring.

Reminder to those who need it:

1. You can mute the name of the current president and/or anyone else you don't want to constantly hear about here

2. You can mute/block/unfollow accounts that impinge on your calm

3. Social media doesn't have to be a doom scroll, curate your feed to make you happy

Dems are still operating in a political paradigm where the public has a set of concerns, roughly reflecting the reality of life in America, and elections are about who addresses them better.

But that is not the political paradigm we’ve lived in, for a long time, and we’re getting further from it.
