The mid-90s editions from No Exit press are hilarious in their lack of interest in the book's actual subject matter.

Am going to lose my mind. There are 31 portraits in the wall, none of which is David Morales. In the key there are 31 portraits including David Morales. WHO IS MISSING FROM THE KEY?

Just watched Mona Lisa for the first time in probably 25 (or more) years. It's not a perfect movie and there is at least one plot twist I don't buy but Bob Hoskins and Cathy Tyson are both great and honestly so is In Too Deep, the Genesis song that I guess was originally made for this movie.
Bob Hoskins looking smug with resting douchebag face in a flowery shirt, suit jacket, and sunglasses shaped like stars.

Hello all! I returned to a store on Broadway after visiting last week and was approached by a worker who thought I had dropped a vial of ashes labelled “Momma” but they are not mine. They were found at Broadway Liquors the week of August 10 and are in a little keychain thing. The store still has them if they are yours.

This paragraph has my head spinning. (from @codastory.com)
A delegation of U.S. politicians, led by Ro Khanna, a Democratic Congressman from California, visited the Pope last week to discuss the ethical and “geopolitical” risks of AI. Khanna has said he wants to tax the use of autonomous AI agents instead of human workers. The trip to the Vatican was organized by the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, reflecting U.S. concerns about China’s growing AI influence. But reports show the Donald Trump-backed World Liberty Financial has close links with WorldClaw, a Hong Kong-based AI platform with about half of its AI models originating from Chinese companies cited by the Trump administration as security threats.

I did the Fruit Loop pub crawl yesterday and saw some people I hadn't seen in a while and met some new ones. Would do again.
