    Hair and the percolator. 1972.

    (DiMaggio pitched Mr Coffee - and we all went drip coffee in the mid 70s. Wood grain paneling, linoleum table top, even the ash tray would remain unchanged through the mid 1980s. Wet bar(?) on the lazy Susan is late 60s early 70s. Phone is a deadend, that shit spans four decades at least. Can’t see enough of her denim for it to be a data point (but the denim geeks can read that shit like tea leaves) but the hair. The bob is too long for the 60s. Later 70s we see a Mr Coffee. So… 1972)

    Edit: it’s fucking AI? Zoom in on the handset and it’s 6-fingered slop…



  • This is done to condition the audience that the end of the show is coming.

    After driving out of state, paying $36 for a bottle of water and rocking out to your favorite band only to have them turn up the lights and fuck off to the airport without even playing a full set can lead to an angry crowd…

    And then the venue owners have to deal with a Dylan goes Electric style riot.









  • Sure we will!

    Human-driven climate change will accelerate the Holocene mass extinction, ending Homo Sapiens - and with us will go all carbon-producing industry.

    The carbon thing finds its equilibrium after some tens of thousands of years, and the climate stabilizes some hundreds of thousands or millions of years after that. And then, provided the biosphere wasn’t damaged beyond its ability to compensate or regulate for the increased solar luminosity that has occurred since the last “Hot-House Earth” climate, it will recover and heal.

    And if not, then we’ve killed everything down to the tardigrades, and probably them too, and we end up with a runaway greenhouse Venus type situation some 0.3 - 0.6 billion years early.
