AuDHD. 99% reskeeting others to make myself look clever. Reading recently about Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, English aristocrat, medical pioneer, writer. Her father wanted her to marry a guy named Clotworthy Skeffington. Possibly the greatest name ever.

the peloponnesian war happening essentially because the spartans dismissed athens help during a helot revolt, because they feared athens would see and talk to the revolting helots for 5 mins and afterwards they’d immediately join the helots is I think under emphasized by Thucydides lol

these are not “autonomous” attacks: they are failures by humans to implement appropriate controls for the computers acting on their behalf, and we must not forget it.

So ICE agents are getting fired before their probationary periods are up and are having to repay the $50,000 signing bonus. I love this for them.

So this photo contains zero birds, but in my defence, we were sitting outside waiting for birds. But the sun was almost setting and the backlit Snapdragons stole the show!
A backlit  snapdragon flower that is partially opened. The background is dark green with a round sun like highlight in the top right corner. It’s actually an out of focus highlight that appears large because it’s a telephoto lens. The pink snapdragon flower is rim lit but has some light bouncing back to light the flower. 
For those interested, the lens is a 400mm and required 5 frames focused on slightly different  parts of the flower to be stacked together so the entire flower was sharp .

The image is of a four panel comic.
In panel one we see Sarah, the protagonist, lying in bed with the lights out. She says, "Is everyone ready for sleep?"
In panel two we see a brain, heart, and stomach. They say, "Yes!" "Yup!" and "Yep!" 
In panel three we see a bladder, squirming. A speech panel says "Bladder?"
In panel four the bladder looks up. It says, weakly, "I don't know".

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

O Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years
2023
satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

Well, what I always say, "I just want everybody to be treated good." I try not to get into the politics of everything. I try to get into the human element of it. I have some of everybody in my own immediate family and in my circle of employees. I've got transgender people. I've got gays. I've got lesbians. I've got drunks. I've got drug addicts — all within my own family. I know and love them all, and I do not judge.

And I just see how broken-hearted they get over certain things and I know how real they are. I know how important this is to them. That's who they are. They cannot help that any more than I can help being Dolly Parton, you know, the way people know me. If there's something to be judged, that is God's business. But we are all God's children and how we are is who we are.

Dolly Parton changed the world for the better, in ways both magical and mundane. She was not only a relentless optimist, she was a doer. She did not wait for blueprints or permission. She was not only great, she was good. May her memory guide us forward in good faith, good deeds and good spirit.

Just, you know, dang. From ILX just now.
Saw this comment on reddit:

Years ago I was sitting in a bar and this dude sat down and talked about working for Dolly. Apparently she was really big on drug testing so she fired him. I asked him if he was mad at her for firing him.
He was like, "No man, she put me through rehab, I'm just a fuck up. She's still putting my kids though school and keeping a roof over their heads. She never had kids and she's still a better parent than me. That woman is a saint."
