My BFF got me this for an early Halloween treat. We do this for each other every year. And it's especially cool because it's metal and I am a chicken aficionado.

I recommend The Sheep Detectives on Prime. It's sweet, touching, funny, fun. (But when I asked a Blueskyer if it had commercials, they lied and said NO. There ARE commercials, the bastards.)
Today, I couldn't get any of the things I needed online to work. Once again, when this regime is over, the government needs to pass a bill, that if you supply services online, you MUST have an easily accessible phone number where a human being can be reached. And emails cannot have "no reply".
No one wants your AI. Ironically, when I began reading this story, I hit the wrong button and an AI generated voice started reading it to me. Read the ROOM! www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...
After the Cancellation of ‘Call Me, I'll Hide The Body,’ What Comes Next?
Last week, Nigerian author Jerry Falade’s crime novel was nixed over suspicions it was written with AI, after fetching seven figures in a competitive auction. Falade told PW he can prove he is the boo...

Anyone who posts how ineffective Democrats are right now, is likely a Russian bot to skew your perception. Dems ARE acting through the courts, but that takes time. Instead of bashing, support the ones you see walking the walk with donations and spreading the word. Report and block the posters.

Dutchy Patrick@dutchiepatrick.bsky.social · 3d agoTrump wants to sue people who call him a pedophile, but he can’t because the discovery process would expose him as a pedophile. Conclusion: he is a pedophile. Period.

Historical Novel Society newsletter wonders aloud if the new Odyssey film is historical fiction, but skips something important. Despite the monsters and all, it is no more historical fiction than Doyle or Little Women. Because to those writers, it is contemporary fiction. It's only historical to us.
And we trust him. I'm alive because of that vaccine. I trust none of the Nazis in this regime.
So I was baking my fil's favorite pound cake for his 94th birthday, and I got to thinking; wouldn't this make great French toast? Or will it create a singularity in the Time/Space Continuum?

Schools HAD to close; people NEEDED to wear masks and stay home. Stop persecuting a person who only wanted to save lives, while Republicans only wanted them and still want every day people to die.

Watching Logan's Run, which I only saw once before years ago, and jeez. It's just terrible. It could serve as a Star Trek episode for the story, but really, it's so cheesy. Hard to believe they gave it a special Oscar for special effects. And this was a year before the first Star Wars film. Yikes.

I finally chose the Android. But I have no doubt that I will switch it out with the cat, then Sherlock eventually. This is why I don't get tattoos. I always change my mind.
Which should I use to cover the Apple logo on my MacBook? There's a cat one coming too. I kind of think the Android one is kind of funny. Votes?
