"I want," the man said to the art robot, and then described an image in some detail. "Certainly," said the art robot. A printout came out of its chest. "Thank y- Hey! What's this?" "A list of artists who make images of the kind you describe, and who are accepting commissions."

This is a horror story to a techbro and a feel-good comedy to anyone with a sense of human decency.

I love that the pandemic actually definitively proved a lot of those "hard" questions for us. Masking up reduced cases of the flu to almost nonexistent numbers and we had zero flu deaths for a time. The welfare and social service and unemployment programs helped keep people living paycheck to paycheck out of poverty, and those stimulus checks some folks keep complaining about actually massively benefitted the common man and the economy. Individual personal travel was so extremely restricted on a global scale that we basically have concrete proof that individual restraint in terms of driving cars or travelling means absolutely nothing by comparison because the mass pollution is coming from the fisheries and the corporations with private jets and container ships. Working from home actually has massive benefits for a company like productivity boosts and better mental health of employees while also saving gas

and we're just. Willingly going back to how everything was before. We were shown how to do things better and the people in charge said "that's nice but we just want to get everything 'back to normal' :)"

we’re not willingly going back to how everything was before. we are being forced back into it by members of the ruling class who found out that making things better for almost everyone else made them feel bad.

can we all agree that being overdressed is a myth made up by boring stuffy people who are too worried about other people’s lives and don’t want you to have fun

conversely, can we all agree that being underdressed is a myth made up by stuffy classist people who are too worried about other people’s lives and don’t want you to be comfortable or happy

holy shit

“The anti-lawn movement encourages people to replace the greenery in their private lawns with more sustainable alternatives. Grass lawns use up more water than any other ground cover, and the herbicides and gas-powered lawn mowers used to care for them pump wildlife-killing substances and carbon into the surrounding ecosystem. Grass also lacks the pollinator benefits of flowering ground covers. The anti-lawn movement favors using native vegetation and landscaping rock to create a yard that’s both visually appealing and beneficial to the environment.

Phoenix tends to get less than 10 inches of rain a year, making it one of the driest US cities. The 336 miles of canals that make up the Central Arizona Project are responsible for carrying Colorado River water and rainwater to neighborhoods throughout the state, including those in Phoenix. But because of unprecedented drought, the canals are drier than ever before, leaving residents to adapt to water shortages. “
