I think "morg" should enter the lexicon like "slop" has. I suspect we'll see a lot more of it over time. Working definition:

morg (verb): to produce a poor facsimile of original work that loses intent, meaning, or correctness

Stefan Sagmeister: Finally, something good. Launched by Stewart Brand in 02003, Long Now Talks has invited more than 400 leading thinkers to share their civilization-scale ideas.

I’m celebrating the New Moon/Solar Eclipse/Fire Horse moment by going to a talk that may help with pushing onward into a new future.

“This talk won’t deny the present-day metacrisis, but will situate our current moment within the long upward arc of human advancement.”

AI-generated video should be against the law. The harms to objective reality far outweigh any benefits.

One of them almost crashed! But most of the passengers—and the pilot if I recall the story correctly—were engineers so they solved an issue that could have brought the plane down in flames.

I’m rewatching first season of Andor before I watch second season. S1:E3 has to be some of the best Star Wars there is. The episode opens a door that leads eventually—through so much mythology—to the destruction of the Death Star; the story’s urgency propels you with such force it’s just incredible.

I wish all people in control of corporations and governments felt it was imperative to take better care of the Earth.

There is no alternative planet for human life.

And basic survival aside, why continue to prioritize profits over a natural world that is so magical and unique?
