I like this very much. I'm just so tired of slop everywhere, how long until the bubble pops? Can I have it for Christmas please?
I've mentioned before I've updated my contracts to make sure everything in the production of my books is done by humans and not "AI"; if you're wondering what such a thing looks like, here's a clause covering that from a recent contract.

Holy shit we still have a long way to go towards equality. It defies belief that it took this long.
I'd suspect a vast majority of the heterosexual community would be stunned to hear that up until *1992* consensual homosexual activities could be prosecuted as service offences under Australian military discipline law. Or that only *now* can such convictions be removed.

Take three minutes out of your day to watch this. It’s worth every second, not just for the artistry of the spoken word, but for the words themselves.
Sir Ian McKellen orates 'The Stranger's Case' from 'Sir Thomas More' by Shakespeare about the Evil May Day xenophobic riot of 1517 in London. This passage was written 400 years ago, but times never change. Humanity refuses to change its unwarranted bias against 'others'.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democra.... #USpol #USA In Australia we can eat and drink whilst in line on election day. In fact because our elections are compulsory and held on a Saturday, School halls are used as polling Stations. Schools fundraise by selling food and drink. We celebrate our Democracy.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.
