Oh, Nebula!
Northwest Fan Fest 2014

I loved finding the special out of the way locations to stage many of the convention portraits. This mostly unused stairwell had such wonderful
Naturally dramatic lighting.
I love creepy modern urban fantasy. But right now, I need a break and the “pastoral fantasy” of Wanderhome seems lovely.

So, Dorrin Tarn, half blind Mole Caretaker, tends to the forgotten god of abandoned places. Seems like social and spiritual archeology....
This is the start of most pandemic movies and television shows, isn't it?
If Waiting for Godot teaches us anything practical, it’s this:

Don’t take your boots off!
Innova RepiarSolutions2 (for the "check engine" light) EULA says it's not responsible for any negative interactions with it's AI, but I should "independently verify any advice or information provided by AI." Customer Service won't tell me how I can identify which "content" is AI generated.
One Ring To Rule Them All
(now with raisins!)
Okay. sure. Where's the note on satire?
That photo is from Gaza (smoke over Tuffah after Israeli airstrikes, 2014) — not Portland. No trusted news outlet reports “Antifa forces” attacking ICE. Please don’t amplify lies. There's enough conflict and hatred already.

My first game on DriveThruRPG:

"Only the Changed" is a 24XX RPG where survival rewrites who you are. Your sheet becomes a living record of scars, echoes, and transformation. Because survival Leaves scars. and every scar tells a story.

Heh.
Hm. That does sound like fun.

Wonder how difficult it would be to set up a scavenger hunt locally... Must think on that...
Pierre Poilievre wins big in Battle River–Crowfoot with what's looking like 85% of the vote.

His return to Parliament stabilizes Conservative leadership & blunts separatist urgency in Alberta—just as Canada faces U.S. tariff pressure.

"The Silence Algorithm" by Ted Chiang
Raised by AIs, a deaf child invents a gesture-language that encodes absence. Linguists who decode it begin to forget words, lose identity. Is it a memetic virus or a path beyond fixed meaning?

Linkedin: Locked Out & Left Behind
Locked out, rejected 3 forms of Canadian ID, and met with silence or scripted replies. Chatbots--not human.

And the only way to actually get a response from LinkedIn Customer Support was to go to X--a platform I haven't used in years--and post about it there. That, of course, led to dozens of scam-phishing responses...
Locked out of LinkedIn. Driver’s License and BC Services Card rejected—no explanation. Then my expired passport: LinkedIn never said it had to be valid. No real support. Persona now has 3 ID scans. No path forward. Feels invasive and arbitrary.
