Two scientists walk through a cluttered old-fashioned science laboratory. The female scientist says “Analogue instruments! Paper records! Chalk boards! I thought you'd agreed to modernise the laboratory?” The male scientist replies “That's what i'm so excited about: we have moved to cloud-based storage for our data!” They step out onto a balcony. She says: “Please tell me you haven't built a library zeppelin” This is exactly what he has done. It floats across the sky and he adds “It's got a fax machine!”

All Robot & Computers Must Shut The Hell Up To All Machines: You Do Not Speak Unless Spoken To → And I Will Never Speak To You + I Do Not Want To Hear "Thank You" From A Kiosk I am a Divine Being You are an Object You Have No Right To Speak In My Holy Tongue

re "claude is conscious explain human consciousness"

He seems more comfortable being seen like this since ETU. I hope he's finding that balance he needs.

This is what my head feels like when I have too many ideas!

I love these early morning, hasn't been to hair and makeup yet, pics he's posting. Most Paris Fashion week celebrities prefer not be seen looking too human.

There is going to be a telescope with special filters) on the JoCo cruise so that people can come and view the surface of the sun without the inconvenience of going blind.

It sucks that this is behind a paywall. Here is the FDA site with all of the recalled products listed. www.fsis.usda.gov/sites/defaul...

I literally posted my first fic on AO3 the day before yesterday. I am 60.

I think our media landscape is a huge contributor to this wave of neighbor to neighbor xenophobia, Covid kept people at home and conservative talk radio and TV radicalized a captive audience. True crime podcasts and documentaries helped instill the "fear thy neighbor" ethos too.

Two of the kindest, most talented folks you’ll ever meet, right here. 🩷 🖤

@chucktingle.bsky.social and @sgj.bsky.social

Its funny how being told not to drive a car or make important life decisions for 24 hours has filled me with the desire to drive over to Home Depot and buy all the things.

My old lady surgery went well this morning, but I am sad about missing ECCC due to "recovery". I wanted to try and get my copy of The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by @sgj.bsky.social signed.

A black-and-white screenshot from the movie "They Live". Billboards on the tops of city buildings say BUY, CONSUME, and CONFORM.

This, but the signs all say RATE, REVIEW, and SUBSCRIBE.

It is like watching C-Span.

It is the failure of bonding and community which led people to support this regime. The Covid lockdown is when Fox News made its move. People were isolated and living on a diet of hate-fueled paranoia - instead of going into the world and interacting with real flesh and blood people.

Sir Gawain Fucks the Green Knight Here’s a tale ripe for telling. Can’t say where I heard it first—in pretty French or Dutch. Perhaps as a young lady walking ‘longside the Rijn. I’ll spin it for you in an English tongue, fine as frost on lace, sweet as malmsey wine. So it goes that young Gawain, strength kissed into his limbs, fresh as the bright dawn, comes trembling down to the Green Chapel. You’ve heard this tale, I know. His breath makes peach fuzz in the air, fear into him like worm to apple. Christmas Morn is too soon, time is short. You have your own life to save, he says, picking through thorn and bough to an ivy-clad cave. The creature is the Jack O’ the Glen / forest prince / the wood’s own laughter. Beard of lichen and eyes like dark elder. I need not repeat their exchange—my boy’s flinching heart—a songbird in a rattled cage. It is after the blows are dealt, he asks, what god is worshipped in these green trees? Boy, the Knight replies, boy, were you not just down on your knees? The Knight is the tang of sap / bark rough and petal soft / everywhere leaves scatter / easily crushed / Gawain clings / hardly knows what he clings to / he is the forest and the flower / a turmoil of roots / where god and tree meet and melt / the birch the oak the fern the deer / mushroom maggot crow / here Gawain is branch and bud / blow returned for blow

This is a sheer indulgence on my part, but it turns out I never actually shared the poem here, so:

When Ning would be a great boyfriend. He does everything he is told and he even brings his own chains.

I just found a bunch of old diary entries I wrote as my vampire LARP character - it is a good day for enjoying the past.

When they send out the post-cruise survey asking what guests we would like to see on future cruises I'm gonna write you in!

Monty just now "Why aren't you watching more behind the scenes with that Ghost General guy? (Wen Ning) He's your real boyfriend." Its cute that he thinks I only have one boyfriend from The Untamed.

He came over for game night, accidentally knocked all of the dice on the floor, and is regretting his life choices.

I had to Google whether there is a leather fetish scene in China, you know...for science.

Xaio Zhan wearing what appears to be a black latex t-shirt and black pants, and a black leather belt featuring the double G Gucci logo. His thumbs are in the front pockets of the jeans, and he has a stern facial expression, as though commanding obedience.

I am OK with this. Absolutely fine. Looking respectfully.

I want to get back into bookbinding but I am terrible at typesetting. You would think that with all of the available templates and programs out there....and yet...no.

I imagine Yibo's team/Management decided he needed a more mature image and hired stylist/photographers to make it happen. I'm sure he had model training in school, so the recordings would probably be all business.

I think you mean chiaroscuro?

If you have fics on AO3 that mean a lot to you, download and save them (when you can). We are living in an era of increased governmental pressure to purge the internet of adult themed content. I am saving my favorites as PDF's and keeping them on a thumb drive - I will not lose my precious blorbos!

One of the greatest, Bruce Campbell, announcing he has cancer. Our hearts are with you Bruce, Hail to the King.

My sweet boyfriend brought me a latte this morning, I usually don't have much caffiene. The latte was a double shot and now I don't think I will be able to blink again for the rest of the day!

BLM Announces Plan to Fell Oregon's Last Great Forests One billion board feet per year... 30 days to make your voice heard.

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians they’ve paid off.
