Right now, the U.S. is in a media crisis. Just in the nick of time, I'm starting a newsletter series about understanding media in the twenty-first century.

We desperately need a new way to think about the future. But first, we must journey 12,000 years into the past, to discover where our idea of "the future" comes from. In my latest for @newscientist, I take you there. https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg26435250-100-ancient-humans-understood-the-future-and-the-past-pretty-much-as-we-do/

You may not remember this poll I did back in November, but you voted for me to tell the tale of an obscure futurist with good ideas. At last, the article you voted for is outside the paywall! It's my latest for New Scientist, about low-key civil engineering legend John "Bud" Wilbur. In 1952, he predicted that we could avert nuclear war with good infrastructure. https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg26435192-400-the-forgotten-civil-engineer-with-a-vision-we-could-all-learn-from/

From the Time Flies and Paperclips Are Old Dept: My nephew applied for college in November. Today, I needed some paperclips. The box contained one long strand of connected paperclips that he had knitted together when he was about eight.

I think LLMs may wind up being remembered the same way we remember 19th century Spiritualism. A bunch of scientists and rich people bought into Spiritualism, too -- until they didn't.

Today I'm making shortbread with a layer of caramel and a layer of chocolate on top. Usually that's called "millionaire's shortbread" but I'm really not in the mood to celebrate millionaires or billionaires. So I'm calling it Ultra Tasty Fuck Yeah Shortbread, which is accurate and evidence-based.

OK friends who bake -- I have a question. What if I made a lemon bar recipe but I used oranges instead of lemons? Would it be good? Too sweet? Would I need to add a little lemon juice anyway?

I don't know about you, but I just ordered hand-pulled noodles and sesame pancakes and I'm going to sit here in cozyland with @charliejane and watch the movie "Queer" because that is how things are going. Which honestly isn't bad, on a micro level.
