Saw the news that Jello Biafra had a stroke. Glad he's recovering well, at least. Everyone knows Dead Kennedys but if you haven't listened to Prairie Home Invasion, the album he did with Mojo Nixon, then you should change that! I didn't know about it for way too long.

Abortion bans reshaped reproductive health, and now the rental market
"The paper is part of a growing body of research showing how abortion bans are reshaping communities. Other studies have linked abortion bans to higher rates of poverty and higher property crime rates, and found that they may be driving young people to leave their home states. Surveys have shown that aspiring doctors — especially those training to OBGYNs — are less likely to choose residencies in states with abortion bans...
"But the paper’s findings suggest access to reproductive health care is influencing a meaningful share of people in the United States regarding where they want to live — especially renters, who have more mobility than homeowners. Rental prices declined more as time progressed, which suggests the trend may continue as long as states’ approaches to abortion continue to diverge."

New research found that abortion bans resulted in lower rental prices and higher vacancies.Shefali Luthra (19th News)

Catlang programming language idea: Rejoice
It's like Joy, but instead of a stack, it's a multiset, and transformations are local rewriting rules.
The program state is a bag of unordered things, transformations are represented as fractions where the denominator indicates things to remove from the bag, and the numerator, things to add. Evaluation consists of applying fractions from left to right, each to exhaustion, until the bag stabilizes.

Loved the depictions of the network family and the way the main character internalizes the data streams they use to make decisions. An optimistic vision of the future that highlights that issues we're working on now will still be relevant a hundred years from now. I totally fell for Rhamnetin too! Pleased to read the depictions of first contact from the physically intimate point of view.

reminds me very much of string rewriting
I've kind of got some fragments of rhythm generation using rewriting techniques but seeing it visually kind of fires my imagination

thinking about spatial rewriting unlocked some ideas about Rhythm generation - like a drum pattern is in some ways 2 dimensional - say a kick is followed two lines later by a snare a column over.
NOW - this will be exceptionally clunky to program so still need to think of an interface - it also needs a way of the non determinism being weighted without 'escape'
however..... interesting thoughts !

For nearly five decades, Ed Crisler has been a PC gamer. Since the early 1980's, he's been gaming on a Microsoft OS. But now he's switching to #Linux.
What makes our conversation fascinating is that he's also the PR rep and product evangelist for AMD graphics partner Sapphire Technology.
He has some spicy opinions, but maybe we should pay attention?

My kid bought this patch on a concert where this band opened. Unfortunately they remember neither the concert (because the opening act wasn‘t on the ticket) nor the band’s name. And it‘s unreadable. 😬
