Chasing the mist last weekend on the South Downs, the start of a nice run of misty mornings in Sussex. Friday: Ashcombe Mill at dawn, holding the middle ground between Mount Caburn and Firle Beacon. Saturday: The Cuckmere Valley area, as the sun broke through and mist lingered over the fields.

“Madeleine L'Engle published A Wrinkle in Time in 1962, openly framing it as a cautionary tale about the dangers of totalitarianism and social conformity...60 years later, it's a prophetic metaphor for algorithmic conformity...” ~Chelsea Adelaine Hassler for Collider collider.com/best-classic...

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

"Excuse me," the man at the bar said, "but I couldn't help overhearing. Are you really saying you refuse to pick one?" "I don't see why I should have to." "It's a core part of one's identity!" "My gender and sexuality-" "Oh!" He looked relieved. "I thought you were talking about football teams."
