I've been feeling this way since Carrie Fisher died.
But it's like I'm at a party.
And all the cool people are leaving.

One of the greatest, Bruce Campbell, announcing he has cancer. Our hearts are with you Bruce, Hail to the King.

Reminder that this is where I'll be this weekend!

Vietnam . Part 22

Cover for the picture book Puffins! In the foreground, there is a very large Atlantic puffin looking right at you. In the background, lots of smaller puffins are on some rocks by the sea: splashing in the waves, slipping on seaweed, preening, pooping, sleeping. It’s a regular puffin party. The word "puffin" is in the middle of the page, in balloons orange letters.

My new picture book comes out soon! Written by @gianferrari-m.bsky.social (illustrated by me) published by @mackidsbooks.bsky.social ! They let us be very extra and all the orange in the book is NEON.

...I wonder what AI movies, made for AI would even look like.

Like, how when you leave two AIs in a chat together and they form a different language that's eventually totally illegible to humans.

I don't wonder enough to TRY. But it's a ponder.

Gotta tell the bookies first, I guess.

Anyways. Another reputable news source soiled forever now.

See, this is why I think calling AI stuff 'cheap' means more to them than any of its other, much more dire consequences.

They don't care that it's plagiarist, making people demonstrably stupider, and unwell, as well as cratering our environments.

Being 'cheap' is what's intolerable to them.

I'll put it on my list!

BLM Announces Plan to Fell Oregon's Last Great Forests One billion board feet per year... 30 days to make your voice heard.

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians they’ve paid off.

This is really elegantly put.

A highly complex website showing two betting accounts earning nearly $500,000 and $120,000 on a minimal number of positions.

In case you were wondering, Polymarket had yet another spate of likely inside traders betting that the US would strike Iran by February 28.

Per the due diligence investigation service Bubblemaps, the wallets used were created 24 hours earlier.

The Pentagon Pizza Index has been replaced.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

WE HAD SO MUCH FUNNNNNNN

I don't think there were any pictures of our AZCAF panel, so in lieu of selfies, I got art. So much dang fun, can't believe I was nervous and weird this morning.

this year...

Ah.
That makes a lot of sense.

'No more forever wars'

Somewhere along the line we lost sight of the fact that the three branches were meant to be completely equal to each other, and be beholden TO each other, instead of just ceding all the power to one fallible human.

This is absolutely not something that happens in a stable democracy.
And it would sure be nice if Congress stepped up and DID THE THING IT IS MEANT TO DO.

A reminder of where I am today.
Consider wandering over.

DO NOT USE CHAT GPT.

Also, paying my CC bill in full before the bank can claim any kind of interest feeds a very vindictive part of my petty little brain.

Every time I get a scam call from 'my bank' to 'confirm I made *this* purchase' I always tell them 'yup, that was me, I absolutely made *that* purchase.'

They don't know what to do with that.
It's very fun.

So funny that Dems have spent a decade unable to unravel the complex mind of the dumbest man in politics, then Mamdani instantly came up with "be charismatic and strong" and "make him fake newspapers" and it's Super Effective.

Donate to Support She Got Game: Celebrate Female Athletes, organized by Flavor Flav Flavor Flav, the legendary rapper and Hollywood personality, has long been… Flavor Flav needs your support for Support She Got Game: Celebrate Female Athletes

I got yelled at today by a stranger and I'm proud to report that-

-that junk is going to live in my brain forever now. Twenty years on and I'm still going to have that seared into my brain.

Won't be able to remember the names of beloved childhood pets. But this will still be there.

So thanks.
