Magnum Chaos design, as shown in a 16th-century design in the church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Bergamo, Italy
#Religion #Chaos #Philosophy

Magnum Chaos design from a late Medieval church decoration. The design shows a violently flaming golden sun, with concentric circles within--behind an imaginary creature with an eye in its center, forearms and hands spread wide, and ankles and feet. The creature appears to emanate from the sun and concentric circles.

In New York social circles, he was known as the “Jewish James Bond”:
a refugee from Nazi Germany whose gratitude to his American hosts was such that he volunteered to join the US army and became the CIA’s first station chief in Berlin as a mere twentysomething,
filing early warnings about Soviet activity that have been credited with ringing in the cold war.
Like 007, Peter Sichel also appreciated a fine tipple, and after leaving the US foreign intelligence service it was h…

Cancelable opinion in urbanist circles: San Francisco actually should try to build housing in a way that minimizes unnecessary shadow. I'm not saying it's more important than people having an affordable place to live, or that it should've been taken to the extremes it was in the 80s and 90s... but it is the middle of June and it's nice in the sun and cold in the shade.

(A perfectly useless afternoon by Kristof Devos from Mr. Jones Watches.)

A simple metallic quartz watch with a hand-painted illustration of a person floating on a yellow rubber ring in light blue pool with the pool lines distorted by the water and yet lining up with the tiles at the side that make up the hour markers. One of their legs is sticking out, pointing out the hour and a little rubber ducky that circles the circumference is the minute hand. The illustration is by Kristof Devos.

See here for other related WIP of this perpetually unfinished project:

This is how the West ends up arming, funding and culturally approving a genocide.
From the news to Hollywood to video games, the entire Western media has drowned us in Islamophobia for the last four decades.

A Tumblr post: 

Thinking about how much the revival of mainstream public gutter racism in North America relied on the fact that, even back when "racism is bad" was unassailable Common Sense, there was still an exception made for Muslims. You could be bigoted against them and still be welcome in elite circles.

"Oh but Muslims aren't a race!" Yeah, but you're eliding an entire religion with it's most fundamentalist version.

Collections remind me of the circles of Google . People were gaming those to try to amass followers, and it led to less variation in the feed, as most were following the same people.
For the sake of diversity in my feed, I will stay away from collections.

And then, develop your skill for being oriented, for harnessing chaos into something going a particular direction. You can only do this once you've developed taste and skill and gone the wrong direction a bunch. You cannot shortcut this experience, but as someone told me at a time I was not quite ready to hear it, the job of the senior engineer is to bring clarity.
Decisions get made so fast, before we're really ready for them, and in conflict. The results are mediocre to bad. It's up to us to sort through the mess and say "this way" out of it. Not as dictators or authorities, but as people who understand the territory. And who can spot when their teams are going in circles and pick a path out.

Whenever me and my wife are driving somewhere together and are backing out of a driveway, making a turn at a sketchy intersection, etc whoever is in the passenger seat always acts as a second set of eyes calling out traffic or "clear right" etc as appropriate.
From what I've seen this is common practice in military and fire department circles but pretty rare in the civilian world for some reason. Not sure why, better situational awareness definitely makes things safer.

Last fall I got depressed driving home one day because of all the trees being ripped out along Lisbon Avenue as they rebuild it, add traffic circles, bike lanes, and other improvements.
I was excited for the bike lanes but sad for the trees. (A lot of them were pretty tall.)
Well, today I went down Lisbon and they are planting a *ton* of trees. They're maybe 5 to 7 feet tall, but it's a start.
You plant trees for the future.

headed to the post office to mail a couple mix tapes to ypsilanti and rockingham (va)

Hand-painted J-cards and tape labels.

Tape 1 (purple with green polka dots)

A solid violet-purple background covered edge to edge with dozens of hand-painted green dots, scattered in loose clusters rather than a strict grid — playful, almost confetti-like. Simple two-color palette, high contrast.

ALT by Claude
Hand-painted J-cards and tape labels.

Tape 1 (magenta/red top, red with painted loops on bottom)

The top panel (the label area over the cassette windows) has a pink-to-magenta gradient sitting above a red band flecked with small blue dots, like leopard-print texture. Below the cassette hubs, the second panel is a solid red field with loose, looping line-drawings in blue, purple, and maroon — they read like abstract scribbled circles/knots rather than representational shapes.

ALT by Claude
Hand-painted J-cards and tape labels.

Tape 2 (dark abstract/textured — reddish brown)

This one has a more painterly, textured look: a mottled rust/copper background (looks like it could be a marbled or sponge-textured paint job) with a large dark navy/black organic blob in the upper left, a bold red circular "eye" or button shape right of center, and a thin lavender line running along the bottom edge. Moodier and more atmospheric than the other tapes.

ALT by Claude
Hand-painted J-cards and tape labels.

Tape 2 (green/red with wormlike shapes)

Top panel: green field over a red stripe, straightforward color-blocking. Bottom panel: bright green background with two long, wavy worm/snake shapes — one red-and-pink striped, one green-and-lavender striped — winding across the panel, surrounded by small dark magenta polka dots.

#FLOSS ecosystem.
I don't think we have a clear idea yet of what's to come, but a recurring image in our conversations is that of feudal age alchemists: closed, hermetic, underground groups, sharing knowledge in tight secret circles, never with the wide public... it's certainly not a pretty picture, but it might be the "rational" conclusion for many.
When we see the threat of big corporations (or just petty unimaginative people) stealing our work, what can we do, when collective action has been labelled as criminal activity, other than hide or risk the severe consequences of being combative?
