Also double trouble.
Two dogs staring up the stairs at you. It’s creepy. They’re watching. Waiting. Hoping. (For food it was dinner time according to them. According to me it was like 1 PM.)

Dog, sleeping, on the stairs. That is not a bed! You’re going to fall! Pelican perched on a stump rising out of the water, preening its wing.

Spider-Man/Sauron meme. Spider-Man is telling Sauron “SHUTTING UP AND NOT DOING THIS WAS FREE MONEY!” Sauron responds: “BUT I DON'T WANT FREE MONEY, I WANT TO ILLEGALLY DEPORT IMMIGRANTS”

Hi new followers, I hate to disappoint but I mostly post about IP law and politics, not QAM. My space photos are as close as I usually get to constellations.

(Here have a space photo.)

And QAM is relatively simple compared to OFDM and future mechanisms!

A plate of meaty hippie hash: hash browns sautéed with corned beef and vegetables including broccoli, topped with a ton of feta, accompanied by eggs and toast. My friends it is fucking delicious.

The relevant language from the CR is here. The relevant provisions that make it an offense are 31 USC 1341, 1342, and 1350.

Saw a stage version of it recently where the dramaturg described it in what I think is a very compelling way.

(It was also a really good production, good script, etc etc)
“By remaining anonymous, Mary Shelley gave rise to a persistent misunderstanding of Frankenstein. It has never been a story only about monsters and men. It is also one about unwanted children and marginalized victims, steeped in a milieu of politics, philosophy, and social justice. Unlike her characters, Shelley never calls her invention a monster. And instead of wordless grunts, she gives him a voice-and the consciousness of an abandoned child.” “Another operative metaphor is childbirth—a process inescapably involving blood and guts. Like countless women of the period, Mary Shelley knew the pain of giving birth to a child that she loved, and of losing that baby. During the nine years she lived with Percy Shelley, she became pregnant five times. Three of her children died after a few days. William, the little boy with the cold in Geneva, died at the age of three. "May you never know what it is to lose two only and lovely children in one year," she wrote a friend. "To watch their dying moments-and then at last to be left childless and forever miserable." These words echo the last lines of the creature in the book: "I, the miserable and the abandoned, am an abortion." Frankenstein, writes scholar Ellen Moers, is a work of "the female gothic" imagination. It treats the psychological terror of childbirth, as well as the bodily horror of distorted limbs and flesh. Upon its publication, a Member of Parliament called the work "a tissue of horrible and disgusting absurdity."” “Mary Shelley's book asks the question: what happens after the great scientific breakthroughs? What are humanity's ethical responsibilities to their creations? What are a parent's to its child?”

Pretty good about VA.
VA 2025 turnout as of 5 PM vs 2024 presidential margin by county. Graphic shows a noisy but fairly visible correlation - the bluer the county, the higher the turnout.
