Buckminster Fuller & Shoji Sadao, Megastructures, (1960’s)
In the sixties, Buckminster Fuller and Shoji Sadao proposed several large scale projects in tune with the megastructures of that decade of technological optimism, applying the principles of the “design science” advocated by the unflagging engineer, who’s ambition reached new heights, driven by the economic and popular success of the geodesic domes. The “Dome Over Manhattan”, which would crystallize in a canonical image, was based on the notion of tensegrity which had guided the construction in 1959 of a large scale sphere at the University of Oregon, and another that year that was shown at New York’s MoMA. The greater efficiency of tension over compression inspired an oneiric proposal that he took further with the “Floating Cloud Structures”, tensegrity spheres measuring more than one kilometer wide and held aloft as balloons by the interior air, heated by the sun. Furthermore, the “Floating Tetrahedral City” in San Francisco Bay contained 5,000 dwellings in a 2.5 kilometer high pyramid, clearing a path for other projects of floating or underground cities that also remained on the drawing board, and the “Proposal For Harlem” house 11,000 families in fifteen hollow towers of 100 floors, hanging from a central mast.

luigi mangione, the SUSPECTED (innocent until proven guilty) united healthcare shooter, has been charged with terrorism. that’s right. a man who supposedly shot ONE SINGLE PERSON is being charged with terrorism. because in america, billionaires lives matter enough that a SINGLE rich man’s death is considered a terrorist act against this country. think about that.

'People are panicking about AI tools the same way they did when the calculator was invented, stop worrying' cannot stress enough the calculator did not forcibly pervade every aspect of our lives, has such a low error rate it's a statistical anomaly when it does happen, isn't built on mass plagiarism, and does not obliterate the fucking environment when you use it. Be so fucking serious right now

I look you dead in the eye and take your face in the palms of my hands and tell you: in every lifetime I will find you and I will make every single choice the exact same way over and over again so that we can die in each other’s arms. And then I will try again. (we are lab partners. btw)
