My org is encouraging it…

What’s the best thing you’ve ever done for someone?

A website is an app that’s too poor to have it’s own app

Based on what I hear on local news, Perez at least probably is doing what her constituents want. She won a very red district as a Democrat by appealing to the people in her district. I don’t like her vote, but I get it.

We aim to please

Because it’s still a smile even though it’s definitely a frown?

Yep. “We want more people to watch Shorts” -> A/B test cramming more into the home screen -> “More people watched Shorts with X change, roll it out to everyone” -> “What’s the next idea to get more people to watch Shorts?”

Luck of the Fryrish is about a human connection that becomes more meaningful after Fry disappears. Yance honors his brother’s memory and Philip becomes the first person on Mars, possibly because of the influence of Fry’s memory. It’s a story of triumph and victory, although also sad.

Game of Tones is a victorious story too.

Jurassic Bark takes a look at Fry in a low point of his life and the joy that Seymour gives him. The reward for that joy is tragedy. Seymour is left on his own, waiting for Fry. Retcon be damned, the story contained in that episode is devastating. There’s no reunion, no understanding of old relationships that enrich them, just a long slow sad end.

Here’s my shitty drawing of something AI can’t draw

It’s kind of practical when standing or walking slowly, like at a fair. Since it’s got a shoulder strap I don’t have to hold it all the time. But you can’t set it down with anything in it.

It is fun to drink out of a horn though

This comment made me look up at my drinking horn hanging on the wall among Ren faire weapons and shield…
