Hey, I'm hearing that just now the big money is betting on an outside possibility of money delivering and not the steady work of labor. And that seems crazy, right, fellow sentient beings?

Live, otherworldly performance of this remarkable unrecorded song at Boboquivari with the Starsailor band.
A prime testament of magic being conjured.

I used to laugh at Wells' concept of Eloi and now I understand it completely.
So, it's ok if we use these chatbots to run safety critical messaging systems and stuff in our internal systems, right?

Let's listen to Vanishing Point by Primal Scream. Which is somehow not the most fawning, mewling piece of art beholden to that film.
Yes, this is a grouchpost about Death Proof.

Oh. Talk about "All we have to do to heal America is to get folks to understand how cities are actually cool."
Which is great. Cities are actually cool.
You're also fighting more than 250 years of cultural history. It's dug in real deep. Nevermind the fact that there's hay to be made.

Everyone knows for real that as long as the AI gave them answers that made the line go up, they wouldn't care. But if the AI started saying "Hey, figure in environmental costs for the long run" or "Stop passing costs on to clients and keep prices steady" they'd have deleted it immediately.

Today's Elliptical Cinema: Cyborg. Man, Albert Pyun knows how to squeeze every nickel out of the budget and still deliver kinetic action. Honestly, not the best movie, not even Pyun's best but a far sight better than much of what we're being served up today.

Dave's Chicken report.
I like Dave's Hot Chicken.
Do not order the new saucy bites because they are dunked in sauce which utterly destroys the crispiness of the coating. So you get soggy bites of not the same Dave's Chicken and they want to charge you a buck fifty for dipping sauce. Total bummer.

The deal was: they demagogue about “illegal aliens,” they militarize the border, they deport people who get reported by their bosses… but they don’t actually go looking for undocumented workers at farms, in kitchens, or on job sites. It was there to discipline labor, not create a shortage of it.

Hey, super dumb question.
Stretch goals in kickstarter are traditionally something everyone gets assuming a base purchase, yeah?
Not sure if I want to make the stuff I'm working on into add-ons or stretch goals. Looks like stretch goals are small but significant. Add-ons more substantial.

That last call for info was probably an AI piece. Sorry, folks.
Google image search throws up a lot of results none of which at first glance are a store. One forum looking at a set of similar images thinks that's a tell of AI iterations.
