@arthurwyatt @phirephoenix … just not scarcity of labor. I subscribe to Marx when consulted on the long term consequences of such a sitch. – 12:15 AM GMT
@arthurwyatt @phirephoenix well, yes and no. automation and IT increases the pool of qualified labor to perform local job X. – 12:17 AM GMT

@kenningsa geez, it’s been years. Cyberiad, Star Diaries (Tichy stories), and I think Tales of Pirx The Pilot, but those all lean humorous. – 11:54 AM GMT
@kenningsa seems I read at least one or two longer works beyond Solaris. I remember later thinking Ballard was somehow similar, not sure why – 11:56 AM GMT
@kenningsa must have read Futurological Congress and Return from the Stars. I bet that last one is the one that Ballard reminded me of. – 12:02 PM GMT
@kenningsa I just grab all the twitter and repost using IFTTT. I should do postprocessing but I always find something else to do when I try. – 05:03 PM GMT
@kenningsa Started doing it before Twitter offered exportable archives. Ideally, the blog would catch any online social content. – 05:04 PM GMT
@kenningsa realistically, formatting that content is too tricky. The objective would be to have a personal content repository. – 05:05 PM GMT
@kenningsa The actual human readable content starts in 2002 and fades out around 2007 iirc. The twitter hunks start in earnest around 2010. – 05:07 PM GMT

on iOS @kenningsa doubtful. the issue is my taste, not the skill with which the film was made. – 01:52 AM GMT
@kenningsa to clarify: I love @cstross’ Laundry stories, and I love Lovecraft’s mythos. But I identify withCharlie’s bureaucrats. – 01:57 AM GMT
@kenningsa “Cabin’s” loathesome bureaucrats are not meant for us to identify with. Which OK, whatever. Nihilism is something I like too. – 02:00 AM GMT
@kenningsa so the film’s underlying ethos is actually quite Lovecraftian: God is real, wants to kill you, so give up. Very black metal. – 02:01 AM GMT
@kenningsa and that’s not where I’m at. “God isn’t real, so never give up,” is more my speed. Totally old fashioned of me, I know. – 02:02 AM GMT
