What does long-term thinking look like in practice? Introducing Long Now Labs, a collaborative space to test, prototype, and build long-term tools. Lab Series 001 is a collaboration with the Protocol Institute to investigate three aspects of civilizational durability that are being radically reshaped by frontier technologies. -> Lab 001.1: Book of Time - An open call to submit a concept for a new way of marking, experiencing, or making sense of time. -> Lab 001.2: Epistemic Cycles - Seeking an individual or team to investigate historical patterns of technological disruption that broke down society's ability to discern truth. -> Lab 001.3: Interspecies Protocols - Exploring the protocols needed to support interspecies ecologies. If you are a designer, researcher, writer, or technologist interested in the deep future, we want to hear from you. Submissions are now open. Learn more about Labs and how to apply: na2.hubs.ly/H059wn90

IN HONOR OF CALIFORNIA’S 175TH ANNIVERSARY, WE WILL BE ROLLING OUT A VERY SPECIAL DRIVER’S LICENSE FOR EVERY CALIFORNIAN THIS SUMMER! IT WILL FEATURE A HANDSOME, HIGH-QUALITY PHOTO OF ME, GAVIN C.

ENJOY! — GOVERNOR GCN

@estel_strider @Chen You should really seek out more choreographed dance. There is a lot of this caliber and better.

@Chen I've never seen choreographed dance in my life and thought "wow" until today.

the best 3 minutes of video I've watched this year

Looking for some alpha testers for my system that allows an LLM agent to render things spatially for you in Vision Pro. akuaku.org/the-overseer/ youtube.com/watch?v=VkPlxx…

Quite a mess brewing in Calif. But some of us can remember a gov race there that featured a porn star, the kid from Diff’rent Strokes, Arianna Huffington, a 100-year-old woman, Larry Flynt, a sumo wrestler and … Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Man that parachute deploy sequence was nuts to watch #artemis

@MeganTStevenson Like not enough of your thousand people that you follow are still posting here, but find the related accounts that are still posting and follow them. Then you’re following stream will feel more like it used to.

@MeganTStevenson Interesting. Just a hot take, but maybe now with LLM agent assistance we can basically create our own algorithm by analyzing our existing follow list to find the still frequent posting accounts in the broader network that you don’t yet follow, but will give you better content.

Advice? My feed seems to consist of just about a dozen heavy posters. I follow like 1000 people. Any suggestions on how to get a bit more diversity?

@zeldapoem If you haven’t been, check out San Francisco’s oldest private library. Free tours Wednesdays at noon. milibrary.org

If you aren't stumbling upon underground libraries you aren't sidequesting enough

My favorite part: Mr. Gallagher had an itinerant childhood, living out of motels and cars for a time before landing in Cincinnati when he was 12. That was where his uncle gave him a laptop, which he used to teach himself to code so he could make a Weird Al Yankovic fan page.

Now that Artemis II has launched we have 10 days to get everyone on Earth a Planet of the Apes costume so we can do something hilarious when the astronauts return 😁

I asked Claude Opus to read my copy of Ted Nelson's autobiography and create agent instructions to think like him. Very pleased with the results. I will be using this often I think. thetednelson.com/possiplex.php

My daughter witnessed pickleball for the first time just now. She said “it looks like sad tennis”

@garthwebb @Uber_Support Good luck brother

Hey @Uber_Support, I’ve had a support ticket open since March 20th. I was told I’d hear back in 6-12 hours, but it’s been 5 days with zero updates. Can someone please look into this? #UberSupport

@zeldapoem And sign up for Dorkbot, a lot of old pranksters show up at these events... dorkbotsf.org

@dav That's really cool! Thanks for sharing, need to dig into this. If you have any other tip on the history of prank and mischief culture in SF, I'm all ears!
