new piece up in Keep Planning that's kind of like the literary equivalent of a found footage horror film about the labor struggle. putting this together involved easily 10x as much editorial work as anything else i've published and i'm incredibly excited to share the result

Every proton is a hologram of the entire universe. Not poetically. Quantitatively.
Haramein’s generalized holographic solution: each proton is a micro–black hole with ~10⁶⁰ Planck units of information and ~10⁴⁰ wormhole connections. One step: 10⁸⁰ protons — the observable universe.
Mass = emergent bandwidth limit.

I haven't decided yet whether i should smile at strangers, but my research continues
1) the ever-cheerful jean baudrillard riffs on smiling at strangers in america; 2&3) an unbelievable anecdotal counterpoint.
Wanna hear something messed up for Monday morning?
Public cheerfulness — e.g., how Americans smile to strangers — was invented by early Calvinists. They practiced aggressive friendliness to show that they were saved (and you, probably, weren’t).
Thanks, Timothy Hampton.
Listen to the sound of the ongoing demonstration by detainees over conditions at Dilley. Incredible courage from these families and children. You can tell by the sound of their voices that so many of those shouting "libertad" and "let us go" are children!! #abolishICE
I,'m told by detainees at Dilley that 80 pct of facility currently protesting--that would be ~1500. Guards physically blocking ppl from joining. Dozens of ICE CBP police cars racing to area. Detainees say protest triggered by news of events in Minneapolis & treatment of 5 yr old.
While you're out could you grab me a phone-mounted microscope that measures sperm count, a toilet attachment that analyzes hydration, protein, ketones, glucose, and pH in urine, and a bathroom mirror that uses AI to infer biological aging from facial blood flow & skin tone?
