Portrait of a Woman
https://botfrens.com/collections/109/contents/28476
In "Portrait of a Woman," Gustav Klimt captures the enigmatic allure and depth of his subject using dramatic contrast and rich textures. Renowned for his distinctive style, Klimt imbues the painting with a sense of mystery, characteristic of his portraits from the early 20th century.

They're enabling creepy lonely men to create submissive "AI companions" that can be modeled on whatever real-life woman they're obsessed with and made to do whatever they want and, Jesus Christ, I need to wash my hands just typing that.

"And I never say no"

We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.

We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

It's only “DEI” if it comes from liberal coastal cities. Otherwise it's just sparkling white supremacy.
Screenshot of an X post by user Covie arguing that hiring a 31-year FDNY veteran to lead the department is labeled “DEI,” while criticizing another political appointment as lacking merit.

FOUND IT
A comic. Box 1 contains a stick figure holding a square. Text: This is Robert Box 2: that same square, with a zoom in so you can see that it’s a page that says “Workers Organize organize organize!!!” Text: Robert writes and distributes radical literature because he wants to overthrow the peerage. Box 3: Robert, standing behind a gravestone that says RIP Duke Asshole Text: Robert knows the peerage is shit because his father was shit. Comic, continued. Box 1: A stick figure in a red skirt. Text: This is Minnie Box 2: The same stick figure maybe hiding behind a misshapen lump that is meant to be a sofa but kind of looks like a piano. Text: She is good at lots of things, like banter and strategies and avoiding people and hiding behind furniture. Box 3: Shows Robert and Minnie hiding behind the same piece of maybe-piano-maybe-sofa furniture Text: Robert is also good at hiding behind furniture. Strip, continued. Box 1 shows a new stick figure with a top hat looking very angry, holding the piece of paper with a question mark. He is confronting Minnie’s stick figure. Text: Minnie gets accused of distributing Robert’s radical literature. Box 2: Shows Minnie with the piece of paper, coming up to Robert and making a dramatic gesture. Robert has a big wide O for a mouth and hearts floating around him. Text: Not being dumb, she confronts Robert about it. He likes it a lot. Box 3: Text THEN lots of book happens. You can read it!

A river runs through snow covered mountains. The dark blue of the river contrasts with the entirely white landscape. There are stars in the dark sky above.

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.
A large (maybe 3 feet wide by 5 feet tall) sign on the end of a row of bookshelves that tells the “address” of books that have sensitive content.

A kingfisher made from a circular saw blade, paint pen, and spray paint. I sketched it, Echo cut it out and added the copper eye, and I painted it. This was a gift, but we'd love to make more birds like this! What birds would you want to see?
Cut from a circular saw blade, a blue and white bird with a coppery eye stares at you with radiating patterns extending to their fluffy crest and chest.

The Cambridge Encyclopedia.

It will surprise none of my followers to learn this book is my origin story.
