In case anyone needs to know, if you jostle an inflorescence of yarrow over a piece of white paper, very small (1 mm) wasps fall out. Most tend to hop around instead of flying away. Extremely hard to photograph, disappearing and reappearing like miniature Nightcrawlers from the X-Men universe. Am going to chill some plants to slow them down, so stay tuned if you're interested.

"It was probably an accident the first time that humans went extinct. That's what multiple corporate databases had recorded, but of course those things are so distorted there's no guarantee that corroboration correlates with truth, especially across such a vast gulf of time. Then, probably because of some distorted echo of a science fiction genre filled with bullshit about human 'ingenuity' or other such crap, the corporations brought them back, at incredible technical expense. It wasn't an accident the second time the humans went extinct."
Yes!
Maybe?
No.

Current state of LinkedIn at the moment. It's so bad, they had to add this option to the post option menu.
Just fished "Coldwire" by Chloe Gong. An interesting and well-written cyberpunk thriller, even though it didn't have the social-imaginative elements I was looking for. I liked the reveal, and the overall construction, even if I felt that a lot of things were a bit off, and I'm not sure how I feel about an ultimately-optimistic-about-technical-possibilities view of the future right now, especially after reading Vinge's "A Deepness in the Sky" just recently which offers an idea of a future that's less optimistic (even if it dilutes that a bit towards the end).
Even if Gong's imagined future doesn't feel like it has anything interesting to say about either how to get to or sustain a more libratory society, it's a fun book and I'm definitely somewhat interested in the potential for a sequel.

Would any of y'all be interested in an archival curation tool that can handle merging large collections of files?
I'm in the middle of designing something — git is inspiration but the wrong tool for this job — but that allows reintegrating diverged collections of materials, and propagating enough information that if you were to merge two folders, you'd get a relevant set of questions about the contents to successfully and meaningfully merge them.

"The thing that concerns me most is violence, the use of force and the threat or the implementation of damage to enforce an opinion. As I said at the beginning, I'm a scientist. I relish facts. I'm interested in ideas. I'm curious about relationships. Violence is just the opposite of that. Violence is the way to gain power without ideas, and it reduces your resources, it stifles dissent and experimentation which we desperately need." — Dennis Meadows (Club Of Rome, Limits Of Growth)
I was not really interested in the new Onimusha game, but the positive buzz made me download it on Switch 2. It is pretty sweet. Atmospheric, looks great on Switch 2 (RE Engine) and the gameplay was not as Soulsy as I feared. Just fun Capcom-style action - at least on the lower difficulty. Now I have to see how well it runs on my BC-250 and PS5 to decide where I want to play the full game.

Until recently, “awe” was not something that academic researchers studied.
But when Dr. Paul Piff, a social psychologist at the University of California, Irvine, became interested in the experience of awe,

What if you could actually measure it?
What if you could design a research project that produced evidence-based data about the effect of awe on the people experiencing it?
The result was an unprecedented study led by Piff and his tea…
