Saw this Wendell Berry quote today: "The standard of the exploiter is efficiency; the standard of the nurturer is care." I can't wait to squawk "EFFICIENCY IS THE STANDARD OF THE EXPLOITER" in meetings any time someone uses the word

Brainstorming: My library is doing a Halloween event which consists of three separate games. A patron who completes one game will get candy. A patron who completes all three games will get a grand prize. What should the grand prize be? I need ideas that are 1) inexpensive 2) fun 3) Halloween-y

Funny how when the computer “discovers” something cool, Anthropic did it, but when the computer does something bad, Claude went rogue. This will be how they approach litigation as well.

Happy Batman Day
A comic book panel (very real) that has been slightly edited (let's see if you can figure out how). It's dark and the rain is coming down in sheets, the water sliding off Batman's suit. The dark knight is staring at something in the distance, his expression grim. "This is where I watched my parents die, Raphael." Behind him is Raphael. The teenage mutant ninja turtle. (This is not the part of the panel that has been edited.) "Cowabummer," Raphael replies.
