I'm up to 2016 in my Google photo backup/deletion project. 🤪 Just found photos from that year's DragonCon and I'd forgotten about this cosplay. It was an election year and I thought this would be funny (this was when I thought Hillary would win). I'm seriously tempted to make this sign for 2024 and put it in the yard. #StarTrek #Election2024 #Cosplay #DragonCon

Would you rather be alone in a Space Ship with Darth Vader or the Queen Alien from Alien?

Please support the your answer if you feel like it.

"Zoom founder Eric Yuan has big ambitions in enterprise software, including letting your AI-powered ‘digital twins’ attend meetings for you." Such a bizarre vision of the future. #AI https://werd.io/2024/zoom-ceo-eric-yuan-wants-ai-clones-in-meetings

Alright, lots of heavy discussions today, so let's talk about something silly!

What is a movie that always makes you laugh?

Personal pick:

Anything Mel Brooks, but Robin Hood: Men in Tights, it's just funny every time I watch it.

New Windows AI feature records everything you’ve done on your PC (arstechnica.com)

somehow I managed to miss this until now...

Over 400 pictures were combined to make this star trail montage taken today between 01:52 and 05:05am. That is how dull I am. I like to watch the Earth rotate. Also am I the only person annoyed that the path is not aligned due South? #Startrails #NewZealand

@czarbucks @firefly @AE4WX @amyedge @ai6yr @Jennifer Good morning from the Glen! Doors and windows open, Fat Squirrel No 1 on the rail with tiny finches and flity titmice taking advantage of open rail space. Laundry was finally completed yesterday and I can still walk this morning - wohoo! Today some more Family pics go up on the wall, and major sweeping/dusting event will commence. If I trust the hip enough, I’ll start in on the pile of cardboard boxes to cut up and go into the recycling. Hope everyone has a GREAT Friday!

I'm not even upset that my rock theme for the bed was thwarted.
I planned to get Jethro Tull tickseed, Super Star Tickseed, Lil Bang Tickseed, and burning heart false sunflowers but Jethro had STD (all had powder mildew) so I went with a blanket flower.
This is what I was busy buying when my friend texted to give me the fantastic news of the day.
Anyway, this should now backfill all my lost dianthus.

So the RWA has declared bankruptcy, and chooses to blame it on Courtney Milan and the "woke push" for DEI.

You knew I would rant about that, yes?

The other day I wondered if hail has been getting worse, then today I saw this article about 5.5 inch hail in Texas on Tuesday. He describes it as DVD size. 😳 Gift article. #Weather #Hail

I just found out season 2 of Outer Range is available!! I absolutely loved season 1, it was such a unique story (sci-fi western!). I guess I'll sign up for Prime for a month to watch it. Anything else new and good on prime right now? #SciFi #OuterRange

The rush to judgment articles and posts I saw yesterday are just aging like warm milk. Preliminary reports are already showing:

• The IDF targeted two senior Hamas terrorists it had tracked by aerial surveillance to a Hamas compound in Rafah

• The IDF confirmed no women or children were in the compound before striking

• The strike took place more than a mile (1.7 km) outside the Al-Mawasi designated humanitarian zone and more than 0.1 miles (180 meters) from the shelters that caught fire

• The strike was carried out using 17 kg (37 lb) warheads — the smallest munition IDF jets can use; the IDF munitions alone could not have ignited such a large fire

• The IDF is continuing to investigate the cause of the fire, including the possibility that Hamas had stored weapons in the area that the IDF was not aware of and which exploded due to the strike

• satellite photos there was at least one Hamas rocket launcher near the compound that was bombed, which was outside the designated humanitarian zone.

#Obama should have codified #Roe as promised. #Biden should have codified Roe as promised. Campaigning on the Court is a ploy to GOTV and to raise more campaign cash:

“We really need a book titled ‘Those Who Knew Roe Was Never Enough and the the SC would overturn Roe.’ There are thousands such people.”

How much alone time vs socializing do you need?

For me there are a few people who are usually equalizing, and I can just be around them, so I won't count that. But generally, I find about 3 times a week, I'm game for socializing. A day in between to rest is usually nice, but the larger the gathering or if we go somewhere particularly noisy or I'm meeting new people that involves more effort, and my social battery empties sooner. I'm very curious where everyone else falls on this!
