FOUNDATION'S TRIUMPH completed Isaac Asimov's Foundation & Robots universe, very much to Janet Asimov's satisfaction, tying Isaac's loose ends in a complete and symmetrical way. Today only(!) you can get the kindle for $1.99.

My weekend posting might bring tears to your eyes, because it shows why much of the world won't give up on America. How they want us back, and will rejoice when we overcome our demonic side. As we did in many previous outbreaks of confederate madness.

Well, AI has some legit uses. One fan/reader searched the paleontology databases and found this historical record, a bit fuzzy, from the Paleolithic. It shows my legit ancestral claims are valid!

Okay, it's vital for you to have a look at what some of your neighbors fervently wish for you and your children.

Scientists turned to AI to help develop a new, super-strong steel alloy that’s perfect for a simple 3D-printing process.

Voters massively rejected election-meddling by the evil-trio - Moscow, Trump & Fox - to restore Hungary. Seeing this, Trumpists scheme to purge US voter rolls, suborn election boards, and prep for a 9/11-Reichstag Fire to excuse martial law.

Weekend posting is about spaaaaaace! Some grouchy truth about Artemis, while pointing at amazing techs that could rescue progress! Are interstellar comets alien probes? (And how to find out.) And are the 'abundance' optimists right about the near future?

But we did get a repeat of Apollo 8, so it's all good, right? LOOK (below) at the list of science that's slashed!. The brightest, pro-science conservatives like Zubrin can see the obvious. This is war on science & every profession that uses facts.
Inside the radioactive interior of the ruined Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, a dark fungus seems to flourish. And scientists wonder if its extreme melanin content may not only be shielding the organisms, but actually using the gamma rays as an energy source.

IT'S APPOMATTOX DAY! Use that word, as I did, holding it up, on a busy streetcorner Only some MAGAPutinists get it. But their eyes widen in realization and fear. Good. We blue Americans are made of no lesser stuff than the blue heroes of Gettysburg.
My grandpa was president of Liberty Fireworks Company. The new sky displays are awesome! And each display is less polluting... until you add in all the materials and energy that go into soon-obsolete drones. But wow!

Do NOT shout TACO! Are you fools to taunt a jibbering maniac into carrying out insane threats? If he gets his Venezuela-style mafia deal with Iran's theocrat gangsters, fine. The Iranian people (and Venezuelans) will do what needs doing. So... now... onward to Cuba?

It's absolutely amazing how desperately similar today's Roberts Supreme Court is to the deeply evil Roger Taney Court of the 1850s. It - and John Roberts - will be remembered as obscenities, cursed by future generations, as is Roger Taney.

My weekend posting is about ways out of this mess. It won't be easy. But we are made of no lesser stuff than the heroes of Yorktown, Gettysburg, Normandy and Frederick of Copenhagen. But let's start with fresh ideas.

Just part of their war vs ALL fact using professions, from science, teaching, medicine, law & civil service to the Intel/Military officers who won the Cold War & War on terror. When all competents are fired, watch for the "Reichstag Fire."

I just posted about fakery on YouTube. Most unvetted clickbait images and voice-overs have been fake for many months, but now it's also the content itself. Is this "The End of Photography as Proof?" Might Google adjust YouTube incentives and save us all?

Been saying this for a decade. This flick united Texas & California in order to avoid left-right messaging. Yet, Texas is fast becoming the sustainable-energy capital. It's universities and cities are fast-rising. So are Tx Hispanics. Squint ahead.

Waved this sign alone for an hour at a busy intersection. Some understood. Others will look it up.
I disagree with the whole Artemis schmeer. NO sense in trying to shame China out of their coming-of-age footprint ritual on a plain of poison dust. Let's land a small pod nearby with flags/flowers and a congratulations banner! davidbrin.blogspot.com/2026/03/canc...
Putin puppeteer must share the strings. When Riyadh gives orders the GOP always snaps-to! Always. And our brave girls & boys must pay the price.

One of you cited where - in Existence (2006) - I forecast AI-generated summaries of emails, even speeches, in real time. I just posted that chapter. See over 80 predictions for 2029. Find one page that didn't foresee at least three things coming true now.

Again, so many world prop=blems would improve with a worldwide "I own tha!" treaty. see davidbrin.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-...
I deem this fellow - an HVAC engineer by trade - to be among the top-forty essayists in America today. And certainly among the most prolific. Truly an eloquent and knowledgeable writer/observer. In this case issuing awarning about the economy.

I caustically dismantle this insane notion of canceling the hyper-useful Lunar Gateway in favor of a jibbering notion to drop the already-made 0-g modules down to make a 'lunar base.' Must a scifi author show seven huge reasons why this is nuts?

Bring it. Do it now. Let white America get acquainted with the MAGA-confederate-excon thugs.

An excellent summary in Noema of Niall Ferguson's comparison of the Trump-Iran War with past historical miscalculations, like the very similar Gallipoli incursion in 1915.

While that's not explicitly wager-able, one word makes it clear. Look a MAGA in the eye and say "Appomattox is coming." He will flinch and flush, knowing exactly what you mean.
If you're attending the RSA Conference in San Francisco, I'll be keynoting the opening day seminar "AI NativeDev and the Next Evolution of DevOps". Much about my new book about AI - ailien minds.
