How many Zoom servers do you think there are with just gigabytes of stored videos of people getting intimate in a very non-businesslike way?
I remember a tape that sports news video guys would trade around w/ nothing but folks in the nosebleeds who didn’t know the field cams had telephoto lenses.

Just had an eerie AI #RPG experience.
I'm GMing a Traveller adventure written in the 1980s, part of which involves exploring an abandoned ship, with lots of dice rolls to see what is inside each room, what condition it's in.
I thought I'd try using LuxChat to do the rolling for me. 1/7

I love indie bookstores. So does my daughter. We spent 90 minutes in Antigone Books (Tucson) last week.
Still going strong after 52 years in business. You can tell a good book store by their order selection. The shelves speak for themselves.

I have written a song on a downtuned guitar that is both about mRNA vaccines accidentally improving outcomes for cancer immunotherapy patients, and also, at the same time, a statement of hope for the current state of American politics.
It is called "What To Do (On mRNA Immune Checkpoint Blockade)"

I just recorded a song about how soil microbes affect our emotions and can make us fall in love when we probably wouldn't have and maybe shouldn't have.
It is called "Dirt Poor" and it turned out better than I'd hoped.

Jirel isn't a barbarian - warrior-woman, yes, but a technically civilized one. Aside from Robert E. Howard's Conan (and later Dark Agnes, which she read in manuscript), she might have read Talbot Mundy's TROS OF SAMOTHRACE and just possibly Arthur D. Howden Smith's Swain the Viking series.
Curious what barbarians there might have been in fiction before she came along - what stories she was likely reading.

The trick I've found to be the most useful when designing a story's cast is not just to work them up in silhouette (ensuring that they read differently at a foundational level), but to start with literal shapes. You can more easily spot the means to differentiate similar components (like armor).

I have mixed feelings about this video. As a Levolor blinds salesman, I was hounded by agents of the National Curtain Closure Council. They’d leave notes on my windshield that said “Better stay in.” It really messed with my body Thetans. #HailXenu
