Using genAi to drag up the corpses of actual human actors to make more money off their legacy is also rape culture.

I don’t think I have ever been happier than being attacked by a President of America for writing a book on building a house over fifty years in Provence. I’m still giggling. WTF, ha ha. Goodnight everybody.

it's so much fun introducing clergy to this technology in our communications, explaining digital platforms, online broadcasting, privacy & consent, navigating rigged algorithms, bots & trolls, enshittification, & all the theological implications of LLM chatbots too. so freakin fun, y'all.

New favorite negative audiobook review: the woman who criticized the Transatlantic accent I did for the part of an aging 1940s starlet, because she thinks I’m British and making fun of Americans
“Loving every conversation (Ms Marple is a triumph), the setting, the line of characters (-Sylvia), the connections between them, motives, 1st person narrations. However the accent on Sylvia is offensive, no American says "Baby"like that. Do Brits think we have speech impairments? I listen to Brit mysteries daily and this is the worst American accent. I will have to skip her chapters entirely next listen. Love overall!”

And this was after the administration there at Bowie State received tens of millions of dollars from Mackenzie Scott. It’s appalling, and there is not nearly enough accountability in the USM system for how money is spent. Writing as a member of the USM faculty advisory council (CUSF). @aaup.org

Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

You'd think people would have a clue that this is what happens ALL THE TIME. Corp plays its sport & hunts. The problem is, art is creation. Artists produce life. Corporate buys, sells, & destroys. We consume what they produce & think it's art. No, it's ground up life. It looks alive when it's not.

I played classical violin in youth, I picked up 6-string electric "slightly over 40 yo" (after decades of not playing anything). For me, the practice techniques I learned as kid help a lot, but since I have no formal goals or external pressure, I've been able to avoid pretty much all the stress.

I remember discovering Herge’s Adventures of Tin-Tin in the school library. I spent every minute in there that I could. Tin-Tin teaches history, showing how people used to live and perceive the world. This felt honest to me. Not a Bowdlerized version of the past. I was able to understand it.

Ethan Harper graduated from Harvard Law School and Andrew Ceonzo graduated George Mason University's Antonin Scalia Law School. Both were in their school's chapters of the Federalist Society. Their involvement (if any) in Sen. Schmitt's line of attack is unclear. I've reached out to both.

Ladies in prayer chat brought up a beloved Deacon whose earthly sojourn ended almost 5 years ago. We loved her & we miss her & still talk about all the little things she did to help heal people & bring them closer together in faith & community. And Deacon Carol LOVED Shakespeare which I did not know

Scotland on Sunday from August 20, 2000 in Edinburgh; on page 6 NEWS there's an article "Brewers pump it up to attract the ladettes" and features a huge pic of four ladies sharing a pint in an Edinburgh pub. One of whom is me.
Then two pictures on the left from the Williamstown Theatre Festival 1997 & 1999.
