"This feature has become very popular among people who have no imagination" is perhaps one of the best and most damning things you can say about people who use gen-AI to regurgitate artbarf as if it's anything other than digital particleboard.

In terms of the female bald Centauri, some of those were skull caps, and others weren't; we let it be known that we wanted to support women going through chemo or other treatments who had lost their hair by casting them here, money that could also help pay for medical bills.
@straczynski.bsky.social Rewatching B5 and as always appreciate the moles and fine hair fuzziness of the Centauri skull caps, especially on the fully bald female characters. The moles in particular lend such an air of realness.

I have been given permission to reveal the upcoming cover of Bee Speaker, book 3 of the Dogs of War series, coming this June. Mad Max futures, Martian invasions, mad lizards, fungus witches and embattled monks, none of which are quite what they seem.

My water bill (Northumbrian Water) went up twice last year, first in June and then in December. It more than doubled. The increases represent an extra £384 per year. How is this legal? If this further increase goes ahead, how are people supposed to be able to pay? It's outrageous.
