I continue to hope for the best but worry that things could slip off the rails -if they haven't already. I appreciate the comfort that history teaches us about the cycles of progress and the backsliding, but also that generally there is progress.

Trump says SÍ to AI. Trump announced some bullsh*t agreement with AI companies that I guess is supposed to reassure us that there are now guardrails that will protect us from annihilation. The deal is vague and voluntary, or as he puts it “morally binding” and involves “tremendous self-policing.” Trump went on, “It’s almost like a constitution in a way, and the biggest people in the world signed that, and I signed it as president, and it really is a form of protection.” I wonder how it is lik

Greenland deal. The U.S. and Greenland have signed a deal that ensures Greenland could not be annexed by the U.S. In exchange, Trump can add two more military bases there. The U.S. already has one.

I went camping in Bishop, California. It’s the Eastern Sierra where there are big granite mountains all around you and the meandering Owens River (originally called the Wakopee by the Paiute people who lived there 10,000 years before Mr. Owens arrived with Kit Carson) and Buckley Ponds (artesian wells that create little oases in the middle of the high desert landscape). The Owens River temporarily disappeared when the Los Angeles Aqueduct came into being but in 2006 efforts began to restore it.
