(Accidentally gave starck too much credit there. He did slopject chairs for Kartell slightly later, 2019.)

All that, but to be fair the machine time + those jelly-shoes were paid for with generous research salaries from enterprise software multinationals doing pr stunts

Slopjects then + now

~10 years ago it was starck not lovegrove using the same trick, and we all earnestly called it ‘generative design’ and ran the chairs through fussy physics models to optimize strength/lightness/additive manufacturing fitness because - I’m certain there was a reason

Non-Toxic Disinfection HOCl is produced by white blood cells within the bodies of all mammals (humans included). At the right concentrations (see below), it’s really good at killing harmful viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Which means that regular disinfecting with HOCl can help prevent the spread of harmful bugs and viruses to keep communities healthier.

Yes! We make it at home and use it for everything. Way cheaper than buying it retail by the bottle. Made a little site for sharing findings and collecting lit reviews. Here’s the subpage on DIY HOCl:

Thanks + congratulations @climate.us crew

@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social Thank you for this reference (& Mohawks in High Steel is such a legendary piece)

The Geography of California's Water YouTube video by The Lookout

No one does a California geography rundown better than Zeke Lunder at The Lookout @wildland-zko.bsky.social. If you're wondering about what water flows downhill in what direction in California, and maybe whether it's going to LA or not, his latest is worth your time.

Super interested in your kiddo watch setup! We have done this with an Apple Watch, but only partially… if I may, what do you use for allowance?

All technically possible (but bureaucratically unimaginable?)

Back in the Oakland flats with dogs + kid, sighing at the incoherence of emergency notifications. Evacuation for West Berkeley but not other contiguous bayshore cities. Each city on different services. Alameda County sends no tsunami warning, but emails when canceled. Local radio still fundraising.

We sure did! Thanks for the shout-out, @davidhodgson.bsky.social

The talk is amazing. You nailed it. So so good.

I think I first followed this list years ago, buried it under dozens of lesser ones, and now it’s wonderfully huge
