imagine if we didn't expect people to buy new phones or computers every year, or new dishwashers/microwaves/fridges/vaccuums every few years. if we built things to last, and trained and paid people to service them. If we got rid of ecommerce-by-default. if we had fewer highways, and more trains? what if there were still enough transistors to do cool stuff with, but not so many that were drowning in them

A quote from OPPENHEIMER that feels like it might stick: “My husband offered both our futures to stop one fascist bullet from embedding itself in a mudbank. That's the definition of nothing.” —Kitty, on her late husband, who ‘died for nothing’ in the Spanish Civil War

Today I learned that Fantagraphics has published a collection of cartoons and short stories Gagan Wilson published in *The Magazine of Science Fiction and Fantasy* between 1964 and 1981.

You know how anti-feminists always say stuff like 'women are even meaner to other women than men are'. I'm always like really? Then why are men doing the vast majority of the assaults / murders on planet earth? Gossiping and talking shit isnt the same as like, killing someone with a hammer.
