I'm ace. This sucks.

And while we rightly tsk this Sahelian nation, compulsory sexuality is very real here in the West.

People act like you can't tell whether something was coded with ai. Like it's clear for art, but not other stuff. ...the ai projects I've seen are nearly universally *viscerally* revolting. The design is just so, very completely, thoughtless. Just shockingly clear that nobody cares.

I’m sure this will be corrected soon, so this is why I’m laughing:

Skeet from PBS News that has an illustration of a dinosaur instead of Tennis Great Martina Navratilova.

Martina Navratilova was a high-profile force on the tennis court in the 1970s and '80s with 59 Grand Slam titles. She has remained a big presence in the tennis world, commentating and mentoring, and is using her platform to weigh in on issues off the court as well.

turns out the real National Treasure was the Nicolas Cage we made along the way

I hope they never give her a romantic plot, please let our community just have this. 😭

Watched Frozen 2 with the 5yo today and was reminded how much Elsa is an ace ICON. From her first scene in the film as a little kid being annoyed at her sister turning her cool fantasy game into a romance plot, to her end scene racing across the sea on an ice horse living her best solo life. Icon!!!

Maybe chocolate is a cold cure. Not that eating it has cured my cold yet, but maybe I just need a higher dose. Only one way to find out.

So this is just my Friday evening post to say trying to make a difference isn't silly. It isn't pointless. Even if we never fully see the results of our efforts directly spelled out for us, we still experience them and so does the world. Somewhere, to someone, what we've done has really mattered.

It's so hard to know if you've made any difference but I think that for all of us who have been trying to do good in the world, we have made differences. Just ones we don't see. And that all this? This awfulness we're facing? It could have been that much worse.
