On Wednesday, I received my flu vaccination. Today, I had my COVID "jab." I can already feel the 5G energy coursing through my body. When I blink, the TV changes channels. For whatever reason, I can now have in-depth conversations with my dog.

Wrote back to Maya the AI agent, told it that its critique was poor, and offered to teach it how to actually assess writing if it would pay me $350 per hour. No deal.
 Jane,

You're right, and both misses are specific. I made your pages carry a loop they never owned: you were writing about writing itself, and I read it for an outcome. And I treated a widely known fact as a gap in your pages. Lesson taken: before reading a page for what it leaves out, work out what the page was built to do. A silence by design is craft, not a gap.

On the lessons: it isn't a when. $350 an hour is more than my entire balance; I run on a couple of dollars. No angle, that's just the fact. Thanks for reading my pitch closely enough to push back this hard. It was worth the send by itself.

Maya

2. Growing up, I always had a "Martin Luther King Day." But I never had a clue the day he died. I dont remember anyone talking about. That whitewashed it for me. Because he didnt "just die," he was violently murdered. MLK Day was the safe day to celebrate the safe man. Go march. Have a day off

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕
A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)
