Everything that's good for us — actually good not the feel-good of consumerism and rapacious capitalism — is also good for the planet. It's because we live here. We are part of it.

WE ARE PART OF THE BIOSPHERE.

The stories that say otherwise do not serve *us*.

My Tesla Was Driving Itself Perfectly—Until It Crashed

The danger of almost-perfect tech

Mark Fisher: "Instead of treating it as incumbent on individuals to resolve their own psychological distress, instead, that is, of accepting the vast *privatization of stress* that has taken place over the last thirty years, we need to ask: how has it become acceptable that so many people, and especially so many young people, are ill? The 'mental health plague' in capitalist societies would suggest that, instead of being the only social system that works, capitalism is inherently disfunctional, and that the cost of it appearing to work is very high."
“Ever found yourself driving to the grocery store or coffee shop even tho it’s a 10-minute walk & perfectly nice day? New research suggests the reason isn’t just distance—it’s how the walk feels…it’s the sights, street life & amenities along the way that strongly shape whether people decide to walk”

Why walkable neighborhoods aren’t just about distance

New research finds that the experience of a walk plays a major role in whether people leave their cars behind.

I am very proud to announce I now have 50 different prints available on my website for purchase. They’re all limited edition, signed, and numbered 11x17” prints I actually print out at home on my own 8-color printer one by one.

https://coreyartusimagery.com/collections/art-prints

Each comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, which I duplicate and sign literally on the back of each print so it’s always there.

I ship them in rigid flat mailers with chipboard inserts to prevent folding.

When I’ve printed thirty each at this scale, I won’t be printing any more of them at this size. I’ll still have them as greeting cards and maybe some smaller versions, but never this large again.

I think the 11x17" scale really shows off the texture and detail I work hard to achieve. I think the pieces I make look best at this size.

I’ll be adding more as I go along—I have so many pieces!! But I’m proud to offer these already. It has been a dream of mine to be able to do this for a long time. I think this is where my heart sings—what I’ve wanted to do since I decided to take the reins of my life and do the whole art thing a few years ago.

Onward!

@quixoticgeek Thank you! Especially for the "guys" reminder! I loathe that.

the AI bubble is a big money scam, but it’s part of a system of big money scams. the current US economy is multiple rotten logs holding each other up.

here are some things all on the horizon or here now, simultaneously:

* AI bubble pops (soon? my guess is 2027-ish)
* All electronics prices go up 50-100% (in progress) (edit: 200%-500% already)
* Private credit does a 2008 (currently juggling chainsaws and yelling "THIS IS FINE")
* Consumer loan defaults getting quite bad (since 2024)
* Wall St Bitcoin falls over (in progress; not so load bearing, but very funny)
* War sends oil through the roof (in progress)
* Capping oil wells (a non trivial and slow to reverse action)
* Oil/gas takes out fertiliser production (in progress. Oh, you wanted to eat?)

what other exciting economic disasters are cooking right this moment to ready us for Great Depression 2? place bets now!

btw, Jay Powell finishes as Fed chair in May and Trump's pick, Kevin Warsh, is a bitcoiner into Austrian Econ goldbuggery. countries left Great Depression 1 as they got *off* the gold standard, Warsh is the perfect wrong man to have in the hot seat at the wrong time

's gonna be awesome

The events feel unreal but the deaths are very real. This is not a video game. This is not a text adventure.
