Got to the "rain" part of #FortySignsOfRain. You know what really stands out to me? 2002's version of 2020-30ish just didn't imagine the iPhone or social media and what that means for disaster notification and communications.

..or rather meant, because a bunch of billionaires are currently ruining it, and that decision will probably have a bodycount.

Listening to the audiobook of “The Ministry for the Future.” So far, so good. Tried to read #KimStanleyRobinson’s #FortySignsofRain but just couldn't finish it.

I keep this paragraph from "Forty Signs of Rain" around. I kind of think of my social media posts being in the spirit of Frank Vanderwal's hobby. #KimStanleyRobinson #SciFi #FortySignsOfRain #climate #weather

> .. work every day of the year, except for three.. weeks. You make.. a hundred thousand dollars. Your boss takes two thirds, and gives you one third, and you give a third of that to the government...to build all the roads and schools and police and pensions, and your boss takes his share and buys a mansion.. So.. you complain about your bloated inefficient #BigBrother of a government, and you always vote for the #ProOwner party.
