Capitalism didn't give us the internet.

Large-scale cooperation, open protocols, and free software gave us the internet. Capitalism gave us mobile sites that don't work because fifteen ads cover the screen.

Arthur's seat in Edinburgh.

Effect looks like the hill is gradually rising like a cake or souffle in an oven.

Done by interpolating between two versions of a DSM, one which uses a wide-radius guassian blur and the original.

Some areas rise over time, and others sink.

What I hate about stories like these is how it normalizes extreme fossil fuel burn.

The story talks about how the man is a regular traveller. It talks about how nothing like this has happened before.

It does not talk about how #ClimateChange is accelerated by #AirTravel. It does not talk about how reduction in flying by EVERYONE is necessary to having a planet that can continue to sustain life.

Even though on the surface an article like this is punching at a mega corp, deep down it serves the masters of capitalism by normalizing spending and fossil fuel burn.

This is the inherent biases of media that we have to fight.

This is a formal portrait of the surviving Apollo astronauts. That's Buzz Aldrin in the silver tux. I have to imagine the conversation went like this:

ALDRIN: Ok, let's get started
PHOTOGRAPH: Mr. Aldrin, you are aware that this is a formal portrait?
BA: I'm not an idiot son.
PG: Well your suit-
BA: Son, have you been to the moon?
PG: No sir.
BA: Well I have. The moon. The motherlovin' moon. In a tin can run by a calculator and powered by a can of sterno. (1/)
