It’s ace combat. No subtext, over senator badly voice acted characters, insane sci-fi weapons fighting lovingly modelled real fighter jets. Hook it into my veins

I've been listening to a lot of @fallofcivilizations.com and it's so so good. Went looking for a map overlay of the Aztec empire on modern Mexico and was surprised and delighted to find this AMAZING 3d reconstruction of Tenochtitlan tenochtitlan.thomaskole.nl

AI Safety Is Mostly A Sex Cult In Berkeley, California
We might some day have “AI Safety”, as a science or policy area, that is not primarily a sex cult in Berkeley, California, but it does not currently exist.

I'm now starting to fill in the fields for the sheep, the tor area will be done last as I'm still deciding whether I want a slope or not 😅 I hope you like it! #art
1972's *The Limits to Growth* forecast the world would run out of copper by 2020 and aluminum by 2027 even if reserves of both were multiplied fivefold. Meanwhile:
It is not possible to sustain economic growth on a finite planet. We have a choice: Managed degrowth or chaotic, violent, collapse.

Mike Sowden@mikeachim.bsky.social · 2d agoIn all the grandiose discussion about colonising Mars, I don't see much about how the soil is poisonous to us. This was only discovered in 2008.

One of the most notable targets was the Moscow Oil Refinery in Kapotnya, where a major fire is visible this morning.
Reminds me of the possibly apocryphal story that Napoleon would ask whether or not generals were lucky before he promoted them.
