While we’re still figuring out life on Earth, Voyager 1 is 15 billion miles away, cruising on 69KB, an 8-track, and 1977s Fortran like it’s nothing.

Thank you for the reminder. I donated.
The attacks on Wikipedia are really a totalitarian-tech attempt at denying people access to information. It's like watching an all-nerd production of Animal Farm.

Mel Gibson and Joe Rogan are telling people that Ivermectin cures stage 4 cancer. My mother is an NP who has spent her career working in oncology, and these lies will literally kill people.

I loved Octavia Butler’s stories. Yet it was only about 15 years ago I learned she was African American. Why didn’t publishers and reviewers say so? Hmmmm.
Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."
She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

I’m looking for the free range, chocolate fed kind. Now checking out privately owned Gulfstream jets departing from Switzerland, Belgium, or France.

No... Revna isn't spoiled at all. Not only does she have the couch behind her in my studio, she has big floor pillow in case she gets bored with the first option.
