I sure would like to see the Virginia General Assembly legalize balcony solar in 2026. Let people buy a $100 solar panel at Costco, plug it into an outlet on their porch, and make electricity. Germany does it. Utah does it. Virginia can do it too.

On January 1, Illinois begins to regulate employer use of AI, making it a civil rights violation to use AI tools that result in discrimination based on protected characteristics in hiring, promotion, discipline, termination, or other employment terms and requiring notice of AI use. #AIBillofRights

Okay, this Fractured Flickers is the stuff. I can't believe I hadn't heard of this before, but now I'm surprised there's not some poor shmoe in a jumpsuit and two robots sitting in the corner of the screen (lalalala).

The kid just asked me whether holding up a cross would stop a vampire if it was blind.
I said, I don't know, but we're Muslim anyway, so I guess we'd recite Qur'an at it instead of holding up a cross.
She asked, What if it's deaf?
