  • In a lot of ways I think the climate catastrophe got ignored for so long because of the impending fear of immediate nuclear annihilation. The specific anxiety Bradbury is writing about here though is about the death/collapse of humanity which is an anxiety that has permeated culture and society since its institution. What he didn’t see coming is that it would probably be a much slower and more inevitable collapse due to climate change. In both cases the fire still represents the same thing though, change, entropy, chaos or whatever you want to call it. The death of humanity is as inevitable as the death of an individual. What makes the inclusion of the poem by Teasdale so good is that she was capable of seeing the beauty in a world that never stops changing, one that would inevitably throw off the shackles of whatever order we may try to impose.






  • The bridge fully opened 3 days ago. the US side did not attend the opening ceremony on the 24th, which might be what you are thinking of. There was a whole long drama with Maroun, the dickhead that owns the only other bridge across (that bridge has made him a billionaire). He did everything he could to delay the project the entire time it was going on.











  • Nailed coffee tables are gonna be the new biggest thing didn’t you know? Incredibley claude did this completely agentically, we didnt even have to tell claude to look for the next big fad. It actually improves the security of the coffee table, wont be able to run any saws through it after Claude is done! Claude puts nails where no human would even think to, thats what makes him so USEFUL.
