Finished decorating my calendar for next year!
The opened covers of a plain, black calendar festooned with stickers: Caryll Runes and a Vial from the game Bloodborne, an Estus Flask and “You Died” from Dark Souls, a dabbing unicorn with a rainbow mane, a Black Cloud, quotations reading “Bridge Four” and the first ideal of the Knights Radiant from Stormlight archive, a nearly-empty battery indicator, Lunar Princess Ranni from Elden Ring, the symbols for Virgo and Quicksilver, an Autocannon from Helldivers 2, an emblem of the Imperial Fists chapter of Space Marines, and a sign reassuring the reader that this object is Definitely Not a Mimic.

Took some photos on the trail to the top of the mountain the other day.
A stony trail framed by evergreen trees whose branches are dusted with early snow. A trail of snow-covered rocks. The branches all around are rimed in frost and laden with snow. A rocky ascent blanketed with snow, the heavily laden branches all around bend under the weight of their own snowy burdens. A distant, foggy summit beneath an overcast sky, rocks and trees caught in snow and ice.

Happy Halloween!
A man stands before a mirror dressed in black scrubs with an orange top, his forehead adorned with a pair of blackened gold horns.

Wrapped up Respiratory Care Week yesterday with another smorgasbord and some home made apple pie!
A cutting board used as a platter for various crackers, hummus, cheeses, jams, and a sausage, sat beside a home made pie (which the poster claims contains apples) and a small pouch of dried apricots. Small utensils are provided to slice and spread the food.

I think that if you are trying to understand the Anthropic book settlement, and you are not doing it in light of the (extremely) failed Google book settlement from 2011, you will never be able to understand what is happening.

Adult content restrictions could pave the way for anti-LGBTQIA+ content bans
Could bans on adult content easily be extended to deem LGBTQIA+ content as ‘mature’?

Why does Trump want to control the Federal Reserve? He operates on such a different plane of policymaking that it’s often hard to understand what he’s doing and why. Let me try to put it together for you. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-art-of-extortion
