Steve's narration setup for his current book, the Zhuangzi, foundational text of Taoism. Need endnotes, footnotes, the main text, and a pronunciation guide displayed at all times.
Narrating the Zhuangzi for the National Library Service, definitely the most complex a d difficult narration I've ever attempted. Need a lot of digital assistance to get all the info in front of my face.
It got slotted elsewhere in the post for whatever reason.

My very first computer, a Tandy 1000, while it supported "Tandy-Color" (semi-equivalent to EGA graphics, I believe), I only had a CGA monitor, so I learned to play this perfect game in shades of CMYK. What fond, fond memories.
A motherfucking turkey or some shit.
The hell did I see walking around Denver this morning?
It's the weekend, which means it's time for @svandoren.bsky.social to guide you through a fantasy world where democratic governments use their power to curbstomp fascists
That's gratifying to read. Though I should also take the moment to reflect and try to be less dismissive and more productive in my urging. I've too often smelled an aroma of the pulpit in my voice when I get on a roll, and that upsets me. I'm too quick to that level, online, given size constraints.
But I do honestly think elevating the circus happening amongst the vocal elite on the far right is dangerous for distracting us from the real intentional harm upcoming. If I've offended anyone with that opinion, I am happy to talk it out.
Oh boy.
Perhaps my tone needs adjustment.
As long as we agree the circus is a distraction meant to keep our eyes away from the real harm. We should try not to amplify the noise, lest we lose the signal. Solidarity! 🖖
I think you're underestimating how important this election was for the quietly evil people who actually won. These public spats will not slow down the Heritage Foundation. They've been working for this day for decades.
Ramsey was later recruited by Daniels to introduce the cloaking technology to the Pegasus when Riker was first officer.
Under(water)rated Trek film.
No, no, there's never too many brushes. And some must remain pristine, never used, to remind the others of the spectrum of life. Even digitally. Maybe even especially.
Old Baldy, staring right at ya.
A different Old Baldy, this one not staring at you.... OR IS IT?

I think about you all the time
Two majestic bald eagles, not, as their (and the symbolically-linked unnamed nation state) actions suggest, vultures. They're perched on two different branches, and have garish white feathered hoods, unlike that same nation state, whose white hoods tend to be linen or cotton mesh) blends.
Saw a pair of what I like to call Flying Terries out on our walk this morning.

And if you've ever published something online, keep a record. I am stunned by the number of people I've seen who don't archive their own work!
I got to meet him during one of his tours for Timequake that got somehow mischeduled (and the store didn't promote it, an employee was a friend) so he and I chatted for a few minutes over tea. Astonishing human. Most surreal event of my 17 year old life.
Let's not forget the recent resurgence of the slur attacking mental ability. These are all symptoms of a society encouraging competition and discouraging empathy. Dark days ahead, my friend. Call out those who engage in this for what they are: ignorant.
In a capitalist society, "I'm gonna leave this irreplaceable thing out in the box with wheels outside to where I cannot easily get from where I will be entirely incapacitated from sleep" is just asking for trouble, locked or not.
Have enjoyed all these films way more than I wanted to.
It is impossible to be an ethical human and also have a billion dollars.
I can see how that would be entertaining! Even with the first redesign of the Klingons, for example, I wasn't confused as a teenager when they suddenly had ridges on their foreheads. I assumed they made an artistic change to make them more alien. I didn't need any in-story explanation at all! 🤣
Some people really do believe that the production budget of Star Trek in the 60s really had nothing to do with what we saw on screen. Moreover, they hedge on believing the episodes to be historical documents, rather than a group of people applying creativity to an idea.
According to recent reportage, perhaps he's not even entirely certain he's the President still.
Y'all really need to stop using grok (and all the other ai image generators), ignorance of the ecological and sociological harm isn't reasonable anymore.
While it is criminal that we've not got a Season 6 in our near future for Star Trek Lower Decks, @mikemcmahan.bsky.social gave us, with Season 5, the most wonderful love letter to the Star Trek I could have imagined.
This finale was gorgeous. 🖖
S'gotta be a scarf. Lung scarf, very chic.
Both are fine with me, but there better be a good reason for the realism!
