While I survived this year's Trunk-or-Treat, the Rookie wasn't so lucky.

Wormhole?

Should I be worried about these guys?

People are using AI to talk to God In India and around the world, worshippers are turning to purpose-built AI for religious worship and spiritual guidance.

An AI impersonating a god? Pretty sure I've watched that Star Trek episode, and it doesn't end well. How long until the Red Hour?

Trump confirms the CIA is conducting covert operations inside Venezuela : NPR The acknowledgement of covert action in Venezuela comes after the U.S. military in recent weeks has carried out a series of deadly strikes against alleged drug-smuggling boats in the Caribbean.

Yeah, but is an operation really "covert" once you announce it to the entire world?

While the game was a debacle, the Homecoming Tailgate was a success (I tried to post earlier in the day, but the network was apparently not having it).

Actual footage of our group watching the MSU vs UCLA game:

I survived riding in the parade with a bum back, and more impressively, the 2 mile walk back to my car when the shuttle bus was a no-show.

Trump wants to invoke the Insurrection Act to punish anyone who opposes him, and he’s following a four point plan to do it. Here’s what you need to know about it — and some thoughts on how to respond. YouTube

Pro-Tip: When you have an entire weekend of activities planned for Homecoming (parade, tailgating, sports ball, etc.) it's best NOT to throw your back out 3 days beforehand. And you should DEFINITELY avoid doing so through actions as mundane as taking out the recycling.

I'm glad everyone in my family was able to get a Covid booster before 🧠 🪱 added a few more obstacles to getting vaccinated.

A collection of parts from my previous Frozen Empire proton pack conversion.

My HasLab pack has been returned to its original(ish) Ghostbusters: Afterlife configuration, leaving various Frozen Empire parts to be stored for future outings.

Since I need to open up my HasLab pack for maintenance anyway, I'm trying to decide if I want to keep the Frozen Empire add-ons, or revert back to Afterlife...

September 30 ==> October 1

It's hard to say which makes me more emotional: the moment Bay 12 opens in episode 9 of Star Trek: Picard, or when Egon reaches out to steady Phoebe in the finale of Ghostbusters: Afterlife.

Between the neighbor on one side power-washing their deck and the neighbor on the other felling trees with a chainsaw, I decided to dine out this evening.
