throat is sore from being outside too long in the smoke tonight. :(
Even with the A/C on in the car and on recirculating (no outside air).
Was starting to feet that tight chest feeling.

I had seven moles surgically removed yesterday because my dermatologist didn't like the way they looked.
So now I have stitches all over my body and I'm not allowed to stretch unduly to prevent the sutures from coming apart.

It's always wild to me how many professions we hold to a higher standard than cops. https://mstdn.social/@mcnado/114844474193049944

I have no fucking idea what’s going on in Dresden Codak but I can’t stop following it because the art is soooo goood
Maybe I need to start reading from the beginning again.

Pivotal moments in US history shaped by confrontational street protest include:

– Passing the Fair Housing Act 1968

I’m rambling, and struggling to figure out the heart of what I’m getting at.
It’s something about how maybe we should view the fecklessness of Democratic politicians the OP laments not as the •source• of the problem, but as the inevitable result of failing to form anti-fascist coalition, and to make that coalition into the other major political party in this country.
I feel like there’s something useful in there, something maybe strategically helpful that gives us a sense of agency. And man do I hate grand political cynicisms that rob us of our sense of agency.

Scenarios in Computing Research: A Systematic Review of the Use of Scenario Methods for Exploring the Future of Computing Technologies in Society
Scenario building is an established method to anticipate the future of emerging technologies. Its primary goal is to use narratives to map future trajectories of technology development and sociotechnical adoption. Following this process, risks and benefits can be identified early on, and strategies can be developed that strive for desirable futures. In recent years, computer science has adopted this method and applied it to various technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI). Because c…
