Wrong Vernor Vinge story. We’re in the Slow Zone.

Headline: “Sam Altman says we are in the singularity: ‘This is the moment’”

Patrick Nielsen Hayden@pnh· 17d

Post a perfect album from the 90s.

The eponymous 1998 album by short-lived but brilliant singer-songwriter supergroup Cry Cry Cry.

You know who had 21 Mayflower ancestors, and would cram your “proud heritage” up your posterior with a banjo neck

Pete Seeger (1919-2014), musician, storyteller, and indefatigable left-wing troublemaker

Off-the-wall genealogy is the best genealogy. For instance, the great 20th-century SF&F writer Fritz Leiber was a third cousin of Shirley Temple.

The Rev. Robert Temple (1796-1888) served in the War of 1812. In 1814, he was a drummer in Swift's and Dobbin's Regiment, New York Volunteers. Afterward, he was a farmer and a preacher. He was in Meadville, Crawford County, Pennsylvania in 1818, and then in Spring Township, Crawford County thereafter. He was an accomplished violinist, singer, music teacher, and cabinet worker.

Rev. Robert Temple (1796-1888) = Eliza Allen (1799-1889)
Reuben S. B. Temple (1821-1893) = Jane W. Dunham (1820-1896)
Francis Marion Temple (1850-1896) = Cynthia Fell Yeager (1854-1923)
George Francis Temple (1888-1980) = Gertrude Amelia Krieger (1893-1977)
Shirley Jane Temple (1928-2014)

Rev. Robert Temple (1796-1888) = Eliza Allen (1799-1889)
Sarah Adeline Temple (1820-1872) = Fred William Holcomb (1815-1861)
Flora Adeline Holcomb (1851-1927) = Walter Allen Bronson (1847-1918)
Ida Virginia Bronson (1885-1970) = Fritz Reuter Leiber Sr. (1882-1949)
Fritz Reuter Leiber Jr. (1910-1992)

“One of the many failings of reactionary centrism is its utter unfalsifiability: if you lose an election you have to move to the right on social issues to win next time. If you win an election you have to move to the right to govern. If things are going well politically it means it's working. If they're not, you need to give more ground. Appeasement, for them, is something reasoned from, not reasoned to. Reactionary centrism cannot fail, it can only be failed. This makes it a hopelessly exploitable strategy: if you are committed to giving your enemies what they want, they learn pretty quickly to just keep asking for stuff. In an age where neo-fascism is on the rise, this is a very dangerous operating software to have running on a politician's brain.”

Chart showing that broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, cauliflower, cabbage, and kale/collard greens were all developed from the ancient wild mustard plant. By humans, of course.

Patrick Nielsen Hayden@pnh· May 21

Very interesting. But, this bit: what?

Scotland Yard last month heralded the success of the trial, saying it resulted in hundreds of officers being investigated for misdemeanours including making money by abusing the computerised roster system, falsely claiming they were in the office, and failing to declare they were Freemasons.

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

An enduring classic

Tweet from @hilaryagro, 16 Feb 2020. “During my research I interviewed a guy who said he was a libertarian until he did MDMA and realized that other people have feelings, and that was pretty much the best summary of libertarianism I’ve ever heard.”

The Confederate Army couldn’t even beat a math teacher.

The New York Times is run by degenerates.

NYT headline: “Racy Images Grok Created Fuel Outcry.”

There are words for the kind of people who think sexual abuse is appropriately described as “racy.”

apologies to mattbors.bsky.social

Matt Bors' famous "we should improve society somewhat" cartoon, altered so that the stooped peasant is saying "We should write our own stories, without using AI" and the Answer Guy emerging from the well is responding "Yet you use spellcheckers and Grammarly. Curious! I am very intelligent."

Patrick Nielsen Hayden@pnh· Dec 11

Every single one of these people is about to fall off this beam.

TIME magazine cover announcing “the architects of AI” as Person of the Year, using an image in which pictures of eight of these supposed architects (Altman, Karp, Musk, etc) are unconvincingly pasted into the famous 1932 “Lunch Atop a Skyscraper” photograph.

He tells her that the Earth is flat -
He knows the facts, and that is that.
In altercations fierce and long
She tries her best to prove him wrong.

But he has learned to argue well.
He calls her arguments unsound
And often asks her not to yell.
She cannot win. He stands his ground.
The planet goes on being round.

"They fuck you up, your mum and dad."

Keir Starmer at a podium, saying "There's a famous slogan in the United Kingdom"

Widely-used sign that too-clever designers fondly believe reads CAUTION, AUTOMATIC DOOR, when in fact approximately 100% of people who see it read it as AUTOMATIC CAUTION DOOR.

Front jacket of Kim Stanley Robinson’s 1989 four-novella fixup ESCAPE FROM KATMANDU

Patrick Nielsen Hayden@pnh· Oct 30

Upon the lonely desert sand
Near dual broken legs of stone
Half sunk, a shattered face, alone
Displays a sneer of cold command.

Fantastic are the words impressed
Upon the pedestal below:
“I WAS THE KING OF KINGS, YOU KNOW
Behold my works, and be depressed.”

Elsewhere, statues from the past
Crumble, break, and wash to sea,
Their plinths dissolving wordlessly,
Silently and very fast.

Patrick Nielsen Hayden@pnh· Oct 24

Map of Canada by provinces and territories. I've lived in Ontario, slept in BC, Manitoba, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, driven across PEI, and never visited the others.

Lived in, slept in, driven through, driven into. 48 out of 50.
