Imagine Loki assembles everyone. Steve. Thor. Avengers. Fantastic Four. X-Men. The biggest collection of Marvel heroes we've ever seen. And they're still not enough. Doom wins. That's how I could see Doomsday taking us into Secret Wars. 👀 #AvengersDoomsday

Loki goes to Steve Rogers. Doctor Doom goes to Bruce Banner. Two original Avengers who were effectively off the board—and suddenly they’re among the first pieces being moved. Loki offers. Doom takes. I don’t think that parallel is an accident. 👀 #AvengersDoomsday #Marvel

Watching Avengers: Endgame on the big screen again genuinely reignited something in me. For a while I completely forgot I was even there for the new Encore material. I was just watching Endgame again—and loving every second of it.

And Ireland. Here, we're not prepared for increased flooding, stronger winds, greater cold, longer and deeper droughts, and their impacts on infrastructure, including housing stock, roads, railways, energy grid, ports and more. Would be good to see UK and Ireland team up on this.

Where did Spider-Man go? 👀 Brand New Day leaves Peter in NYC… but could its ending be setting him up for something MUCH bigger in Avengers: Doomsday? And if Peter finally comes face-to-face with Doom… what happens when he sees Tony Stark's face? #SpiderMan #AvengersDoomsday #Marvel

If our Time Stone theory is right, Thanos may have reached the Snap with five genuine Infinity Stones and one magical counterfeit. The question is whether the real Stones could hide the fact that Time was nevermthere. #Marvel #MCU #Thanos #InfinityStones #Endgame #MarvelTheory

Consider how many neurodivergent people would fail a test for neurodivergence and how what is good for one person is not what another person needs. Because UBI is universal cash, it would reach everyone, and it would be in a form that everyone could use for anything. UBI: SO YOU CAN BE YOU.

In a contemplative moment, I had this thought. It's been said that cooking is chemistry for hungry people. I wondered -- is fiction writing "concept chemistry" for people hungry for experiences? It seems to me that an author mixes ideas in various proportions to produce "food for the mind". :)

"Every human deserves the basic security to live a good life, and to have a safe floor from which to launch themselves as high as they wish to go, free from drudgery and lack." Quote by a signer of the AI Pledge for Humanity in support of universal basic income
Beige and blue-toned promotional graphic for “The AI Pledge for Humanity.” On the left, large quote text reads: “Every human deserves the basic security to live a good life, and to have a safe floor from which to launch themselves as high as they wish to go, free from drudgery and lack.” It is attributed to “a signer of the pledge.” Along the bottom is “Sign & share your own” and “aipledgeforhumanity.org.” On the right, a lone human figure stands on a reflective beach beside a large black letter A, visually suggesting “AI.”
