Yo, wtf did I do to deserve *this*? And yes, I need a haircut and shave, but it's not *that* bad!

A crudely-drawn picture by a child, in pencil. There's a bathtub filled with I'm guessing bubbles, and a stick figure in there with spikey wild hair. The word "Dad" is above the person, with an arrow pointing to it. A thing labeled "shampoo" with a smiley face hovers above "dad"s head, with shampoo dripping or something onto the spikey hair.

I went out into the wood to try to assess what dangerously unstable trees still standing in places where they could cause damage when they fall.
Needless to say, besides the two trees that have already collapsed above the house, there's at least one and possibly two unstable trees hanging over the house.
H'mmm...
#TheJoyOfCrofting

A tree in the wood, leaning about 30°, unsupported. Nothing terrible will happen when this one comes down, I think.
My house, from the back. You can see one tree that's broken off just above the top of the roof, and most of that tree is actually lying on the roof; but it has been for more than a year and I'm not worried about it. You can also see a tree leaning over the house, but it's hung up in the tree in front of the house and I don't think it will move. What worries me more are the two trees to the right of the house, leaning towards it. One of them is definitely unstable.

Coarsening and Bifurcations in Wide-Range Two-Dimensional Totalistic Cellular Automata
Franco Bagnoli, Luca Mencarelli
arxiv.org/abs/2604.10082 arxiv.org/pdf/2604.10082 arxiv.org/html/2604.10082
arXiv:2604.10082v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We investigate Boolean, totalistic cellular automata with a majority or frustrated majority vote rule, and an interaction range of variable span. These two models show a behavior which differs from the mean-field one. The majority vote model is characterized by the presence of absorbing states, and there is a related bifurcation according to the initial density, in agreement with the mean-field approximation. For initial density equal to $0.5$, however, the dynamics is dominated by a coarsening process, which stops when clusters with a definite curvature radius are established. For the frustrated majority vote model, the mean-field approximation gives chaotic oscillations or a limit cycle. Instead, we observe active patterns, with stable density. Above a certain critical value for the interacting radius there is a bifurcation of the asymptotic density as a function of the initial one.

Indeed, for a corporation all the above do not matter. Even worse, it represents costs. Unnecessary costs.
There are many other unnecessary costs but those creating them will tend to ignore them as they are in the decision making positions.

What Lies Beneath (2025)
As much as it hurts to witness glaciers disappearing more every year, the colors, textures and exposed geological features are some of the things I absolutely cherish each time I find myself in their vicinity...
These are truly unique landscapes to meditate on the age, scale & forces which have been shaping this planet, the environments they've created, directly and indirectly, the fragility of life trying to thrive in them, even if only temporarily, …

View of a high alpine post-glacial landscape with the bottom half entirely consisting of an exposed, colorful section of bedrock (grays, purples, dark reds), sharply delineated from the surrounding landscape, smoothed by abrasion of the former glacier here and indicating its previous vertical extent. Above that large bare rock face are alpine meadows and tundra vegetation in beautiful autumn colors. Clear bright sky.

With oil hovering above $100 a barrel for much of Monday
and Middle Eastern allies fearing a further tumble into regional conflict,
Trump appeared in Doral, Florida with the mission of
calming global markets and reassuring skittish allies that he has a clear vision for how to end the largest US intervention in the Middle East since the Iraq war.
If there is one, it was not delivered in this press conference.
In a 35-minute appearance, the US president eschewed th…

Vague and contradictory Trump says Iran war ‘won’, but not ‘won enough’
After oil prices surged on Monday the US president sought – and failed – to offer a clear vision for when the largest US intervention in the Middle East in years will end

After hitting $115 this night, the oil price is now at $103 per barrel, up from around $65 before the US-Israeli attack on Iran.
Big impact on the world economy, and hopefully on the energy transition too.

Tech jobs are highly cyclical and lots of the gen AI stuff is ridiculously overhyped, and I’m hopeful that the wheel will keep turning and the professional prospects of software developers will improve again…assuming human civilization survives, that is.
But what I said above applies regardless. We should all be doing this meaning-making work all the time, even in the best job markets. In fact, that work is a part of •making• human civilization survive.
