If you have an ancestry account they’ve updated the regions again & they’ve wonderfully granular FYI I use ancestry because as a descendant of chattel enslavenent ancestral information is lacking for obvious reasons so this provides insight otherwise not available and that is most important to me

Real payload was hidden on the school bus.
Still from movie Mad Max: Road Warrior where wild haired gang member, erupting from an open topped vehicle is swinging a grappling hook in order to commandeer the gas tanker alongside him. We later learn the tanker was full of sand, just a decoy, and the real prize was in small containers aboard a school bus that escaped the compound amongst the chaos.

The White House normally gets $2.5 million a year for maintenance. Trump’s team has allocated $875 million.   That’s 350 years’ worth of the usual budget spent by a single administration.

Here is my response to D&Q's statement about my open letter:
D&Q packaged and marketed Walden’s book as an independent work with no acknowledgment that it was an adaptation of my book. There is exactly one sentence in the notes at the back that acknowledges the existence of my book. Walden has repeatedly presented the work as based on her research, even going so far as to claim on CBC that she’s the only person who’s read all the letters, and saying in a video she made for the Henry Sheldon Museum that she worked exclusively from the diaries and letters. Readers of reviews, people who’ve listened to her CBC interview, and readers of the book have no way to know that she adapted my work. Many people who bought Walden’s book have commented exactly that on social media. Additionally, D&Q took my title, and cover image. I’ve heard from readers that when they tried to buy my book, bookstore owners have pointed them towards Walden’s graphic novel. In the future when people search for “Charity and Sylvia” on the internet the algorithm will point them to Walden, who has a far bigger platform as a cartoonist than I will ever have as an academic. In short, Walden and D&Q are profiting off eight years of my labor and pretending otherwise. It pains me to have to correct the record this way. Walden was initially given a grant to work exclusively from the papers at the Sheldon. Instead, as her website makes clear, she read my book twice closely and outlined and drafted, then went to look at documents to supplement the story I had written. My book is based on research at over 20 archives and historical sites. I am the author of the story. Walden took that story and illustrated it beautifully, but she and D&Q should have acknowledged the adaptation and they should compensate me.

Paramount+ wanted to use the image on the left as a poster for the wrath of Khan, so they used everyone's least favorite technology to generate the rest of the image.
A close up of captain kirk getting his eyes scanned. It is cut off above the eyebrows and below his mouth.The same image in a thumbnail for Star Trek, the wrath of Khan. But AI has painted the rest of the image so that Kirk is a balding man in a business suit.

1) Wage theft dwarfs, in orders of magnitude, shoplifting. 2) He had to wait because the store is understaffed on purpose due to "optimization" scheduling software that ensures the least amount of full time employees and underpaid part-time employees to squeeze the most profit.

Possibly unpopular opinion? I think artists should get to sign the art they make for book covers. It should be right there, on the front, because it’s never been more important to showcase the humanness of art. And also there are many times when I see a beautiful cover and wonder, “Who made this?”

i'm soooo close to being done this quilt. i finally got the last of the ~54 hand appliqué elements on last night. Once the hand quilting thread I ordered arrives I'll get the batting sandwiched, quilt it, and actually finish off this project!
