I’ve long admired the old ALDUS logo from the early PageMaker days on the Mac. I’ve used that style to create a rainbow portrait of Alan Turing for pride month.

CMYK on 11”x15” watercolor paper using a vintage HP 7585B pen plotter generated and controlled with Python.

Available in my shop, in the Wildcards gallery. shop.paulrickards.com/wildcard

An abstract portrait of Alan Turing comprised of 34 horizontal lines that modulate thicker or thinner based on the portrait and are one shade of a rainbow continuous outlined in black. The shading is from cross hatching of pen strokes of cyan, yellow, and magenta inks.

4시간 만에 11억원···‘득표율 1%’ 권영국에게 쏟아진 후원금 www.khan.co.kr/article/2025... "권 후보는 이번 대선에서 내란세력과 단절하지 못한 국민의힘과 ‘중도보수’를 선언한 민주당으로 인해 비워진 왼쪽 자리를 채우며 사회적 약자를 대변했다. 권 후보가 공식 선거운동 첫날 서울 시내 고공농성장을 순회한 것은 상징적 장면이다. 첫 TV토론이 끝난 뒤에도 권 후보와 민주노동당에 후원금 입금과 입당 신청이 쇄도한 바 있다."

How nasty and petty can they get?

"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the Navy to take the rare step of renaming a ship, one that bears the name of a gay rights icon."

"Military.com reviewed a memorandum from the Office of the Secretary of the Navy -- the official who holds the power to name Navy ships -- that showed the sea service had come up with rollout plans for the renaming of the oiler ship USNS Harvey Milk.

"A defense official confirmed that the Navy was making preparations to strip the ship of its name but noted that Navy Secretary John Phelan was ordered to do so by Hegseth. The official also said that the timing of the announcement -- occurring during Pride month -- was intentional."

Neat, provides public access to their (Fastly) CDN metrics: github.com/NixOS/infra/tree/ma

Here’s the cache.nixos.org requests data for 2025, for example (visualized with matplotlib, xkcd-style). (Not sure why the data doesn’t cover more recent weeks.)

Pretty interesting to see the significant drops on weekends, and to see the magnitude of requests — cache.nixos.org seems to handle well over 2000 requests/second on average 😲

How the billionaire hoarders prevent everyone else from having nice things.

Post World War II, a single income of a factory worker could support a family, own a house, drive two cars, and afforded vacations. Today most families with two parents working full time can barely make ends meet.

201 million Americans (almost 60%) live in poverty where a minimal quality of life is out of reach. Compare this to 5% in Italy and 11% in Japan.

Wealth becomes addictive. Fortune
whets the appetite for still more
fortune. There is no end to the
amount of money one might wish to
accumulate, driven onward by the
auri sacra fames, the cursed hunger
for gold.

So the money addicts grab more and
more for themselves, more than can
be spent in a thousand lifetimes of
limitless indulgence, driven by what
begins to resemble an obsessional
pathology, a monomania that blots
out every other human consideration.

Working on a draft. Is it too hard to lead with this?

The deployment of generative artificial intelligence tools has been a disaster for the human race. They have allowed a select few to gain "higher productivity"; but they have destabilized society, have made work transactional, have subjected artists to indignities, have lead to widespread psychological suffering for the hackers that build the tools AI companies rely on, and inflict severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of this technology will worsen this situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in "advanced" countries.
