Wisdom Panel: she's American Pit Bull Terrier, German Shepherd Dog, and American Staffordshire Terrier, plus a tossed salad of herders and guards. She's a clown, a snuggler, a chaos demon, and a blessing. Sprinter, agile, scarily quick learner and problem-solver. I need to learn agility activities.

Gee. Why should people "alive now" who are concerned about potential loss of their jobs to and/or environmental effects of AI/other tech be discouraged? At some time that will probably not come but would regardless be of no help to people *alive now,* millions of people will be living in space.

I know none of us signs exactly the same every time but these still seem somewhat difference (this is from her Wikipedia page). This one at least looks like "Melania."

He made five necklaces, all the same design but each a tiny bit different and unique. He puts so much heart into his art and he's so kind and warm. His pieces are exquisite. Asking him to make special pieces from Mom's pearls for women in my family is one of the absolute best decisions I've made.

When I contacted him, he was already busy, but he worked on the design on and off for months when he could, and he came up with a beautiful, graceful piece. He asked for my input on materials and design and really took time and effort to make it perfect and special.

@thebluemage.bsky.social I don't think I've ever seen anyone say *liberals* don't want to pay "first-world wages." Isn't it normally liberals who argue for raising minimum wage?

This just showed up for me so I thought I'd share it.

This partially answers my curiosity (about the assignment and overt objectives, anyway), but of course adds more, none of which are likely to be answered unless, as Evan says, we hear from the judge.
