I only vent here now. Probably not a good follow. Send cat and dog pictures, please. Liked the tan suit. In this very trying time, many many extra typos.

This is the Pixar scenario I guess. Not the Blade Runner scenario.
Scene the movie Wall-E where humans live entirely sedentary lives in hover chairs. They watch personal screens all day and are completely catered to my robots/AI. As a result, they are shown as fat and aimless.

Here's a visual example for interested folks. But this is such a common problem that people fashion their own DIY solutions from cardboard, foam, and duct tape. Worth a Google.

Hi! I don't know how best to share this with you, so am trying here. Your book jacket for Boneshaker got blown up, and put onto a prop book for a feature wall at a restaurant.

In 5 years, the Big 3 are going to need a bailout because no wants to buy their crappy cars again.
Meme from the 2008 bailout era that semi-resembles a traditional car advertisement. It shows a Ford Windstar minivan, with a caption that says: You wouldn't buy out shitty cars. So we'll be taking your money anyway." In the lower third of the poster it says: The Bailout. Coming this January. You probably thought it was smart to buy a foreign import of superior quality, with better mileage and resale value. Maybe you even thought that years of market share loss might prod us into rethinking our process and redesigning our products with better quality in mind. But you forgot one thing: We spend a shitload of money on lobbyists. So now you're out $25 billion, plus the cost of your Subaru. Maybe next time you'll buy American like a real man. Either way, we're cool.

We're The Big Three. We Don't Need to Compete.

Everyone is thinking Trump, but what Carney said can be applied to how China does business too. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
Image of text that says: 

What would it mean for middle powers to "live in truth"? It means naming reality. Stop invoking the "rules-based international order" as though it still functions as advertised. Call the system what it is: a period where the most powerful pursue their interests using economic integration as a weapon of coercion.

The words: "Call the system what it is: a period where the most powerful pursue their interests using economic integration as a weapon of coercion" are highlighted in yellow.

This picture cracked me up when it came out:
Prince William, in a business suit, longingly looks into the window of a KFC. The KFC logo appears on a sign above him, adding to the humour of this photo. Picture taken in Oct 2020.

RETVRN!
Amicus, the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) mascot in the form of an anthropomorphized owl, wearing the previous version of the SCC judges' robes. These robes can be accurately described as "Santa costumes". The image has Amicus inside the SCC court room, and they are standing at the lectern used to deliver oral submissions to the SCC bench. Amicus is playing for the camera in an amusing pose.

Computer clipart style image of a globe, showing the Americas and Antarctica in green, while the oceans are in red. The globe is tilted on an axis just like the Earth. The globe is also drawn to resemble a Christmas tree ball ornament.  Underneath the globe is stylized cursive text that provides the punchline to the joke. The text reads: "Axial Tilt is the Reason for the Season".  On each side of the text there is a red and green holly decoration.

I mean just, how can you not admire this poasting by @sarahjeong.bsky.social:
Screen capture of two sequential posts by Sarah Jeong @sarahjeong.bsky.socal
The first post reads: "I am, incidentally, pretty drunk rn (the job is 27/7!!!). This is the most Korean thing I've ever done."
The second post reads: "also look, it's 1 am. I did not expect to be working at this time. but hot damn."

It always stuck me when I came to this part of the pamphlet; just how matter-of-fact, but clear and unambiguously this is stated:
A screen capture from Sweden's "If Crisis or War Comes" pamphlet, 2018 English edition, from page 12. In a red box with contrasting white text, it reads: "If Sweden is attacked by another country, we will never give up. All information to the effect that resistance is to cease is false."
