Spent part of yesterday slowly boating down the Elkhart Slough, a wildlife area near Santa Cruz, CA. Saw a few dozen different animal species -- sea lions, seals, sea otters, and various sea birds. I know it's reality-avoidance, but sometimes it's important to spend time in nature.

I was at the beach today, away from everything. Anything interesting happen today?

This isn't a situation where one thing going on (e.g. Los Angeles turmoil) distracts from something else (e.g. budget stuff). It's a situation where everything can distract from everything else, making it impossible to pay attention to any one thing. It's a DDOF attack. Distributed Denial of Focus.

I made this about ten years ago, updating a 1930s sign for the 2030s. Feels like a good fit for the current era.

@o7rise.bsky.social please remove me from your block list. I had a mistaken follow when you were assembling your list, and I would not like to be blocked by so many people I would agree with.

Show me a cover version better than the original. Siouxsie and the Bashee's version of Helter Skelter gets my heart racing in a way that the Beatles original never could.

Listen to a good, long conversation about BANI, resilience, and squiggly moral trajectories on Jennifer Brown's "The Will to Change" podcast. It's a long one--almost 90 minutes--but a pretty meaty conversation. jenniferbrownspeaks.com/2025/05/05/e...

(Whoops, meant to quote this, not just repost it.) Over 20 years ago, SJG asked me to write two of the books for the Transhuman Space game: Broken Dreams (what the developing world looks like in 2100) and Toxic Memes (beliefs, misinformation, and cults in 2100). They still hold up—check them out!

Oh, joy. At least it gives us a chance to have existential terror about something non-Trump, right?
