Literally the first shot of this "historically accurate" Odyssey movie shows a boat that A) Has no steering oar. B) Is under full sail *and* full rowers while entering a cave, presumably to dock inside.

And here's the agenda for the super obscure membership meeting (that essentially allows anyone in Los Angeles who says they want to resolve homelessness) where people have the ability to vote on who gets to lead homeless services: www.lahsa.org/documents?id...

Michael Clanchy told people over 50 years ago not to fetishize writing, but he would not diminish the significance of writing today because he knew well that it now equates to power and to eschew it is to disempower one's self. I mention this bc we are seeing the emergence of an arch stance on GenAI
