From the Parking Lot: August 3 – 8, 2025

Crossing Jervis Inlet on my way to the Tla’Amin lands.

The weekly summary of notes, links and thoughts that passed through my world.

• August 4, 2025: tests and seasons: things change in the world of sport, planetary science and community.
• August 5, 2025: surviving enshittification: becasue when people are making good things and then wrecking them, we need to know if we can make it through.
• August 6, 2025: magic and the rain returns: internet-famous magicians, and the return of my pluviophilia.
• August 8: you are not as old as you seem to be: age is relative and also it isn’t.

Also I wrote some longer pieces this week including a review of some friends’ play, an invitation to improve your out of office messages, and some thoughts on how building resource megaprojects is not the same thing as strengthening a country and looking after people.
