You need to reevaluate your priors. The fridges are so powerful now, and what was true of refrigeration a month ago simply isn’t now. If your fridge isn’t connected to the internet with a known admin password, and can’t heat up to 50°C you’re going to be left behind.

Re. that RAF Fairford thing. One of my favourite bits of Sydney trivia is that the 1903 Defence Act prohibits making a 'sketch, drawing, photograph, picture or painting of any defence installation in Australia or of any part of one'. Unfortunately the Navy put their base and all their big ships right next to the Opera House. Good luck complying with the law, every single tourist.

Places have cultural significance through the interactions humans have had with them, and their accumulated history and associations. There’s no such thing as an inherent significance, as though it were stored in the bricks. It’s a human aspect. But when you see a cat on site, it’s a reminder that it’s not just people who interact with sites, and presumably cats have a limited understanding of what makes places important to them too. It’s interesting to consider, for lack of a better term, cat significance.

One of the things about AI boosterism and by extension the whole Silicon Valley mindset is that it elevates ‘building things’ as the only worthy human act. It isn’t.

Or using a template to revise a report. Or being the workers who make the accountable decisions to keep things going. This is what human working life is.

A feature of Australian building stock is that there are specific types which are still prevalent partly because they were being built widely immediately before a financial crash—and so were not replaced.

Look around now at what will be remnant of this crash in 50-100 years’ time.
