Since its foundation in 1824 the bravery of Royal National Lifeboat Institution volunteers has saved more than 146,700 lives at sea. Hundreds of those volunteers have died attempting to save others. They are the best of us.

The produce section of major grocery stores don't smell like produce. The fruits and vegetables are too uniform in color, shape, and size to look like something that was alive recently. That's so they can be stacked in neat rows or geometric heaps. Reality becomes AI slop for maximum profit.

In "The Wee Free Men," a parasitic world exists. It's the land of the Elves, which attaches to a more solid one while the Elves terrorize people. Tiffany Aching, a young witch, notices that things look fuzzy if no one is paying attention to them. AI works the same way. #TerryPratchett #Discworld

I haven't known Dolly Parton personally. Or Terry Pratchett or Bob Ross. Just like I don't know Keanu Reeves personally. Or Ms. Rachel. It's really not that hard to be decent and caring. It takes trust in others, and the expectation that people like to help you become the best version of you.

I'm feeling really silly right now. In "Monstrous Regiment" by Terry Pratchett, the officer hopes to cement his legacy by having an item of clothing named after him. His name is Lt Blouse. His regiment is all women disguised as men. A blouse is women's clothing. I read this before. I just got it.

As I reread Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett, it occurs to me that most women cosplay "Woman" on terms set by men all their lives. They decided to cosplay "Man" on men's terms, and it worked because manliness and femininity are acts. Only another soldier born female saw through it.

Trump's asinine UFC event does have some Fall of the Roman Empire vibes to it. While paying more for everything in your life, all you get from Trump is taxpayer-funded arches, ballrooms, cage match fights, felon-to-felon slush funds, and more tax breaks for billionaires. Remember in November.

Now I understand why my father didn't send me card on my birthdays. It was more than the idea that parental support is a transaction. A leader doesn't celebrate his supporters; they celebrate him. He became a father to gain authority. When he couldn't exert authority over me, he lost interest.

GNU Terry Pratchett.

"And that's what your holy men discuss, is it?"

"Not usually. There is a very interesting debate raging at the moment about the nature of sin, for example,” said Oats.

“And what do they think? Against it, are they?” said Granny Weatherwax.

“It’s not as simple as that. It’s not a black and white issue. There are so many shades of gray.”

“Nope.”

“Pardon?”

“There’s no grays, only white that’s got grubby. I’m surprised you don’t know that. And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is."

“It’s a lot more complicated than that...”

“No. It ain’t. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where it starts.”

“Oh, I’m sure there are worse crimes..."

“But they starts with thinking about people as things...”

--Granny Weatherwax, from Terry Pratchett's Carpe Jugulum

Agnes Nutter from Good Omens is Cassandra if she was born as a commoner. She was unimportant enough to fly under the radar, which gave her enough time to figure out how to get her prophecies to the right people.

So, in Discworld there's a character whose name is Reacher Gilt, who is, naturally, a villain. He's fake gold plating on a pirate's mind, complete with a parroting flunky. He's there to steal as much as possible and then leave the city leaders holding the empty bag. Why am I telling you? No reason
