It’s worth walking people through the logic, because it doesn’t get repeated enough from the top:
1. There is no “immigrant crisis”. This is a panic instigated by racist slurs from a President’s that, even very recently, decent white people would have admitted were shocking and unacceptable.

Tonight's mystery movie. I knew nothing about it before watching it. I knew even less after. I had a good time.

If you are GenX old like me and want a correct model for 2016 discourse, imagine thinking about 1993 in 2003.

UFO beams may be my favorite genre of art. I had so many notebook pages full of beam doodles (usually right next to the mushroom clouds -- hey it was the 80s!)

Growing up, my local culture was not the type to do simple courtesies, like hold doors open for others. Then around twelve years old, a new friend casually held a door for me. It meant nothing to them but I suddenly learned both the theory of mind and the concept of unprompted kindness.
I would like to hear about a time someone, a stranger even, was very kind to you without any prompting, ulterior motive, or strings attached.

In order to put to rest “did they actually use it or not”, Guillaume Broche said it a recent Q&A that they tried AI when the tech was new, but they didn’t like it, it felt wrong to them. And they will not be using it in the future.

I put a bunch of library books on hold with long wait times hoping they would slowly drip in over the winter. Except they all came in at once and I will end up having to do reading triage in a few weeks.

Let Blender render 24x7 since a week ago when I went to visit my father. Came back yesterday and it's up to frame 700/2500 ... whew

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

#blender Pro tip -- just learned that if you are going to do a multi week render on a Mac , make sure you run caffeine otherwise even blanking off the monitor can add 200% time to a frame.
