Your point about Paranoia: "It’s a great game I’ve never ran a great game of" is exactly how I feel about it. It's the one game I couldn't get everyone to buy into and the perfect game in my head never came off. Had lots of fun trying though....

Last night's nightmare about insects burrowing into my skin and said skin then sloughing off, interrupted my 2 week run of dreams about me waiting at a train station for a train that never arrives. Which was nice....

Handheld mics in studio based podcasts are so performative. No need for them at all except to reinforce the ‘podcast’ theme. Drives me mad.

Great moments in Scottish engineering history: James Watt tries to work out how his phone attaches to his selfie stick.
Statue of James Watt. In his right hand he holds a telescopic stick with a frame at the top; in his left he holds a flat object about the size of a large smartphone. He is scowling at the possibly-not-a-smartphone as if he is tempted to yeet it into the sea. On that basis, it probably _is_ a phone.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
