I have had to work hard to accept the reality that a percentage of people simply do not want freedom. It took me a long time to figure out why. But I get it. No freedom means no responsibility for one’s actions. As much as it turns my stomach, I do get it. (And it scares the bejeezus out of me!)

True, but it’s also worth noting that pictures of FDR in a wheelchair were not widely distributed at the time & most Americans were ignorant of his condition.

Fun trivia- The theme’s song for “The Prisoner” was composed by Ron Grainer, who also composed the “Doctor Who” theme. Grainer’s version of the Prisoner theme was MUCH slower. But Patrick McGoohan made Grainer speed it up to fit the pacing of the opening. (And Grainer was not happy about it. 😁)

Sounds like she made the mistake of watching “Men in Black” while high on mescaline, and the damage was permanent.

Western leaders always screw this up. People wouldn’t question Biden’s age so much if he’d only post some photos of himself on horseback, shirtless, every once in a while.

IT tip of the day: If someone you know who has NEVER sent you a Sharepoint link, sends you a Sharepoint link, they have had their email hacked. Do NOT click on the link, or you also will be sending Sharepoint links for the first time (and you won’t even know it until the angry phone calls begin.)

To anyone who is watching the news and getting depressed out freaking out: Yes things are bad. Yes, the future is scary as hell. Yes, it is OK to TURN OFF THE NEWS and watch something that does not make you want to pull out your hair. Today’s Suggested viewing is the anime “Lupin the 3rd”.

I’m not saying Biden should order the U.S. Navy Band to follow his political enemies around 24/7 wherever they go playing “Yakety Sax”. But I’m not saying he shouldn’t order the U.S. Navy Band to follow his political enemies around 24/7 wherever they go playing “Yakety Sax”.

Reminds me of a Harlan Ellison quote I can’t find but will paraphrase. It went something like - “I’ll write my silly little stories and laugh at you (humans) because you have killed yourselves. And if every once in a while you hear me crying, it’s because you killed me too you fuckers.”

Just watched this #Babylon5 episode yesterday. Morden still gives me the creeps!
Cheesy CGI aside, there are very few 30 year old sci-fi shows that hold up so well. The writing is great, the cast is one of a kind, & the practical / makeup effects were absolutely next level.

Going public with an experience like this is life-altering for a woman, so when you read these stories remember both the extraordinary amount of courage involved and also the likelihood that there are many others you’ll never hear.

TLDR is - A company called flock.ai is rolling out a private license plate reader/camera network on private vehicle fleets, and selling access to that date to law enforcement.
The privacy implications are HUGE.

There is a joke like that: Guy hits a car, gets out, waves at the witnesses, writes a note, puts it on the car & leaves. Owner comes back, finds the note that says- “Sorry, I hit your car. The people who saw it happen think I’m leaving my contact info, but I’m not made of money so, good luck!”

A family of house finches has moved into the eave of my front porch. They built their nest into the grapevines growing there. Mommy, daddy & babies all hanging out. I feel like Snow White when I walk out my front door now.

I think the reason Philip K Dick is still the predominant SF writer of the last century is, he was the only one who foresaw a future where everything would be boring, inconvenient and dehumanising, and where the only way you can win is to somehow refuse to give up your humanity.

It’s hard to overstate how much damage this ruling will do to people, the country, the climate, and the planet. This court has stolen the future from their own children (all our children) because of their eagerness to watch it all burn now. It’s beyond shameful.
