  “The thing is, May," the hum said, "the goal of advertising is to rip a hole in your heart so it can then fill that hole with plastic, or with any other materials that can be yanked out of the earth and, after brief sojourns as objects of desire, be converted to waste.” #climatefiction #fiction #sciencefiction https://www.helencphillips.com/hum

  "The debate over the future of Canada Post ultimately forces us to ask what we want public institutions to be for. A mandate to serve the collective good is not the same thing as a mandate to maximize the bottom line." https://thewalrus.ca/canada-post-lost-a-record-1-57-billion-in-2025-so-what/ #canada

These contradictions create openings for foreign influence operations, which do not need to manufacture new beliefs so much as widen existing tensions."

  "Ultimately, it doesn’t matter if #neilyoung knew the song “Surf’s Up” when composing and recording “After the Gold Rush.” Furthermore, #pynchon would never say if he had either song in mind when writing about the “The Dream of the Gentle Flood” passage in #vineland. Regardless, both songs and Pynchon’s piece are saturated with the same emotions — regret, longing, and eventually anguish — that connect to a common theme of lost innocence." https://reclinernotes.com/2026/05/10/t...

  "Our results demonstrate that self-sustaining AI-driven cyber-threats are nolonger theoretical. We must prepare for autonomous generative adversaries: malware systems that propagate without human operators and are defined not by fixed exploit code, but by the capacity to reason about targets, adapt to observations, and synthesize attack logic in real time." #ai #generative #tormentnexus .. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.03811

Bland, frozen, shed-meat, forced-labor-seafood food served continuously to restaurant-goers, schoolchildren, federal prisoners, and the members of Congress who could have regulated it." #food #foodsecurity https://www.worseonpurpose.com/p/your-dinner-got-worse-on-purpose

  "Length isn’t rigor. Exhaustion isn’t seriousness. Staying up all night with a novel isn’t evidence of virtue; more often it’s evidence of panic. The point of teaching literature isn’t to test stamina. It’s to cultivate perception, suggest connections, hone a facility for nuance. Literature is about developing an awareness of syntax, structure, juxtaposition, ambiguity. That kind of work can be demanding without requiring theatrical suffering." https://web.archive.org/web/2026040910130...

  “Reframing Hendrix as an engineer doesn’t diminish the art. It explains how one person, in under four years as a bandleader, could pull the electric guitar toward its full potential by systematically augmenting the instrument’s shortcomings for maximum expression.” https://spectrum.ieee.org/jimi-hendrix-systems-engineer
