by Jan LeeMay 21st 20263 mins After four decades of sweeping overviews of societal impact on our planet, a California-based historian has produced a sensitive, thoughtful portrait of the unique ecosystem in his backyard, and the dramatic changes it has undergone in the past ten millennia. — While inland lakes such as the Great Salt Lake are familiar to many, there are several less-famous saline lakes in the so-called Great Basin, a geologically-defined area located west of the Rockies.
It’s Fantasy, but it CAN’T Be Whatever You Want it to Be
Press enter or click to view image in full size There is a phrase I have come to detest in the genre fiction discourse: “It’s fantasy, so it can be whatever you want it to be!” The problem isn’t that the statement is false, because it isn’t. The issue is how the phrase is used.
The Techbros Are Wrong - ChatGPT Will Never Write a Good Book
A couple of days ago, I watched a video by Meredith Novaco, a Youtuber with a computer science degree, about whether Del Rey had tried to pass off an AI written book as having been created by a human being. In it, she said a number of things about how generative AI writing works that clarified things I’ve been saying for ages, but she didn’t go as far into the implications. So, let’s take it on.

Washington Capitals - Inside Hockey
Ovi, Gretzky, Points Totals, and Greatness by | Mar 14, 2025 | Los Angeles Kings, Washington Capitals Los Angeles, CA—If only Alexander Ovechkin had scored five goals against Anaheim on Tuesday night, fans of the LA Kings could have been treated to a four-goal performance that tied and broke the all-time regular season goals record.

Philadelphia Flyers - Inside Hockey
by Brian Kennedy | Dec 30, 2024 | Los Angeles Kings, Philadelphia Flyers Kings coach Jim Hiller seems like the kind of steady hand who would not let his players have any excuses in mind as they came into the second game of back-to-backs. And indeed, the Kings came out flying on Sunday at an odd-for-LA 6pm start time. They even opened a...

Hate Meditation? Try This Simple Trick to Meditate Without Even Realizing It
Robert Marks · Follow 2 min read · -- You’ve tried it before: sit down, close your eyes, focus on your breath. Yet, each attempt leaves you frustrated, wondering, what’s the point? Then you’re bombarded with all the supposed benefits — from social media, friends, and that coworker who just got back from a ten-day silent retreat. “I can’t meditate. I’m not a meditator; it just doesn’t work for me.” But what if I told you there’s more than one way to meditate?
Review: ‘Landing the Paris Climate Agreement’ By Todd Stern
December 12, 2015, marking the signing of the Paris Climate Agreement, would “remain a great date for the planet” according to then-French President François Hollande. But what a monumental struggle it was to arrive at this moment. Landing the Paris Climate Agreement by former US Special Envoy for Climate Change Todd Stern, is described as environmental history. But the book would be better viewed as testimony.
Why I Write: The Journey to Freeing Myself
Robert Marks · Follow 2 min read · -- I know I want to write. What exactly to write about is still something I’m thinking through. Is it really important to land on one specific niche?

I would like to think that I’m special and unique, and it certainly feels that way at times.
Review: ‘The Great Greenwashing’ By John Pabon
by Jan LeeAug 15th 20245 mins Written by John Pabon, the author of Sustainability for the Rest of Us, The Great Greenwashingis many things. It is a rant, in the tradition of Fast Food Nation or No Logo, against the evils of greenwashing.

Diversity and the Culture War
Having done a corrective to the right-leaning side of the culture war, it’s time to provide one to the left, and talk about diversity. Culture warriors like to present themselves as champions of diversity and their efforts as making things better for under-represented minorities. In reality their legacy is much more one of erasure.

Why the Culture War Must END - Part 1: The Death of Nuance
NOTE: This was originally intended to be a single article. However, as the word count grew ever higher, it became clear that it would need to be divided up into bite-sized chunks. So, there are five parts, and you can read the others here: Part 3: The Normalization of Bullying and Abuse The Culture War has now reached a fever pitch, making a more nuanced discussion of anything pop culture related seem more impossible by the day.

The Gordon Highlanders on the first day of the Somme, taking their objective behind a creeping barrage. (Source: Wikipedia) A World Undone: The Story of the Great War 1914-1918, by G.J.

MARKS: From Political Bias To Outlandish Dares, Here’s Why Robots Cannot Replace Us
Artificial intelligence (AI) has two big potential hazards — use by the unscrupulous and unintended results. Does the AI give unforeseen or undesirable responses outside its intended design? Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT suffer from both negative maladies. LLMs are trained on syntax — the manner that words are arranged. Humans rely on semantics – the meaning of words. Syntax-based LLMs have no understanding of your queries or their own responses.

To Let My Mind Run Free, I Look Out My Prison Window
My room is small and sometimes really cold, but whenever I need a mental break from prison life, I sit on my bunk and look at the view outside my window. Early morning or late evening, you can catch a glimpse of wildlife at the tree line. At certain times the sunsets are awesome. Even right now as I write this, an eerie mist creeps across the field. A gentle rain settles on the landscape. I’m in prison for my crimes, but while my body is confined to this cell, sometimes my mind is able to run free.
