Major inventions don’t have some inherent nature that tends towards improving life or enriching humanity. More often than not, they worsen life and deepen inequality because elites hoard their benefits and tightly dictate the terms of technological deployment. So when technological breakthroughs do yield positive outcomes, it’s because those with power are forced into an agreement that distributes resources more equally.

Fun antique store discovery. I don’t think many kids were watching tv dramas about neurosurgeons in the 1960’s but that didn’t stop Transogram from releasing this toy kit. Love the faux alligator leather.

We are fortunate to have one of the oldest, and therefore largest, trees in our tiny development. I appreciate the hell out of it and take daily breaks to stand under its welcoming branches, enjoying the colors. I love this tree.

A day of apple picking, a corn maze, and other fall favorites.

Now that I finally found the DVD, the family enjoyed a new fall tradition of watching Over the Garden Wall together.
