I still think about this photo, often.

Reflection can change the look of the horizon.
On shit, it reflected the clouds in its glass.

It is illegal for shareholders to be lied to, per US federal law

And that should speak volumes on the systems in place, here, at least.

Demand more.
I wrote about a novel approach to tackling misinformation currently being discussed in Wales--and which some say Canada should try, too. What if we made a rule so politicians couldn't lie? www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
Is it time to make it illegal for politicians to lie to us?
That’s the question currently on the table in Wales, which has just released a draft of the “globally pioneering” sanctions for politicians.

Interview with a Vampire
S2, was absolutely solid in just about every way.

Kudos to the casting directors and actors, the writers and all.

Just masterful.

If we get a Queen of the Damned series off this, I will be so happy.

Joy will carry the day
Neither grief nor pride had so much truth in them as did joy, the joy that trembled in the cold wind between sky and sea, bright and brief as fire.

Registered Nurse R.A.Allen thinks stores like Steam should keep labeling games as 'made with AI' 🎮

"Fuck off with that GenAI bullshit. It’s crap. Pay your humans for better quality. Take a pay cut, pay your artists."
Epic Games boss Tim Sweeney thinks stores like Steam should stop labeling games as 'made with AI' 🎮

"It makes no sense for game stores where AI will be involved in nearly all future production"

Remember, from here on out, respiratory season is going to bite *hard*, until mid-January.

Thanksgiving, into Christmas, into New Year’s.

Local US superspreader, into large scale global travel celebration times.

Vaccines, masks, hand wash, social distance, stay home if feeling malaise.

All or nothing, the true lover says, and that's the truth of it. My love will never die, he says. He claims eternity. And rightly. How can it die when it's life itself? What do we know of eternity but the glimpse we get of it when we enter in that bond?

Dinner’s on, everyone in the holodeck.
Its also the banquet hall for dignataries.

Although the D is enormous, in universe you would think they would have a protocol to convert an overflow medbay or evacuation room to a ballroom. Its even got lots of replicators for feeding refugees
