Lots of people are like “Trees will save us!” but the ecological effects and overall effort needed to plant (and maintain) anything like as many trees as we need, as fast as we’d need, is on a scale pretty similar to any of our other options. https://t.co/p9bdsQOzDx

I don’t use a camera. My whole process is about harvesting visual data, chopping it up and recombining it into something else. It is essentially ‘collage’ but the tools are entirely digital. Since I can find all my material online, I never have to leave the studio. pic.twitter.com/kmUbI7pjG0

20th century corporatism: socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor
— Venkatesh Rao (@vgr) May 22, 2019
21st century corporatism: libertarianism among nations, fascism within nations
I increasingly judge people via negativa. By the things they pointedly ignore or are silent about. It’s the opposite of political correctness. It’s Conveniently Silent. CS.

My method of construction has an improvisational and random quality to it, since it is largely driven by the source material I have available. I think of the work as a type of mutation which can haphazardly spawn in numerous and unpredictable directions. pic.twitter.com/K9DpHZ45D5

And anyone who suggests action or non-action that would see those deaths return is 100% unsafe for ANY child to be around.

Anti-vaxxers advocate for child deaths.
It’s as simple and horrifying as that.

When you hedge, treat the possible as likely. When you speculate, treat the likely as merely possible.

The Keanu Reeves Four-fold Path:
Bill & Ted: Be excellent to one another.
Speed: do not engage bad faith actors on their terms.
The Matrix: Step out of your worldview and listen to those doing the work toward revolution.
John Wick: Destroy those who delight in cruelty.
Delighted by the fact that the statue of Tenzing Norgay in Namche Bazar has a ‘Do Not Climb’ sign on it. More or less visible through the clouds behind are Everest on the left and Lhotse (the fourth highest mountain in the world) on the right. pic.twitter.com/MezMpomyGY

Many things I had filed in my mind as “signs of apocalypse” are happening/have happened in last few years but it doesn’t feel apocalyptic yet.
— Venkatesh Rao (@vgr) May 18, 2019
This is like reverse of Hans Rosling graphs effect, where many things are technically getting better but it doesn’t feel like it.
Wow - the Wood Wide Web has been globally mapped for the first time! New research published in Nature today plots the c. 500-m-yr-old subterranean “social network of trees” at a planetary scale.

So, you may ask: How does volunteering at the Nature Center, Soup Kitchen, etc help you prepare for a disaster? Two ways:
— Nick Farr, CPA (@Nickf4rr) May 15, 2019
1) You build trust by doing something with your community.
2) Skills. Nature Centers do chainsaw orientations. Food pantries need forklift operators.

I have published: ‘Photochemical Alchemy in Sub-Arctic Finland,’ it entangles #augury, #alchemy & experimental #photochemical processes using plant energy.
