Amsterdam airport: no announcements, no amplified sound at all. Bathroom stall walls go to the floor. Fresh food to buy. Get on the plane, they’re playing birdsong instead of bad pop. Time to get off- they open doors in the front AND the back. We have more money but they are richer.

a genuinely beneficial use of generative AI would take your post and show you what you'd look and sound like delivering it to a group of strangers at a picnic. we'd be repulsed back into being people.

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii. @noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!
