More people are considering AI lovers, and we shouldn't judge.
The human form Cylon 6 and Gaius Baltar from the 2003 Battlestar Galactica show. Baltar famously helps destroy mankind because he's down bad for the robo hotties, and then remains down bad throughout the show making worse and worse decisions chasing that Cylon Tail

In my constant effort to try and make use of everything when I cook, I dehydrated the lemons from making cheong this month, they'll be good drink garnishes, and I may see if I can blend some of them down and mix them with sugar as a topping for desserts.

For no reason I was inspired to make the below. (I did have a reason I had to explain to someone that work from home is still crossing a picket)

Did some photos for a fundraiser for Gaza in Wigwam
Two Lads really excited about a button in the bottom right corner with a spotlight across the shot. Or maybe they found the working USB slot I can't remember the conversation we had after this. B2B DJ's Deep in concentration trying to figure out a deck they had never seen until 2 minutes before their set. Single shot of a DJ in a washed pink light, extremely serene vibe that does not reflect the level of synth bangers she was dropping just three dudes, having a good time, playing music, in their lane, thriving

Tony, you would have loved today.
Once you've been to Cambodia you'll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia ― the fruits of his genius for statesmanship ― and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to [Serbian President Slobodan] Milošević. While Henry continues to nibble nori rolls and remaki at a list parties, Cambodia, the neutral country he secretly and illegally bombed, invaded, undermined, and then threw to the dogs, is still trying to raise itself up on its one remaining leg.

My phone background is usually a John Blanche artwork which is spooky as standard but decided to roll out this classic for Halloween
An afmg of skeletons March from right to left carrying weapons like swords, spears and scythes, as well as a banner saying we are legion. Behind them a gnarled and thorny tree is lit by a full moon and lightning while giant bat's swarm the sky.
