I get a note for jury duty every two years. Been interviewed for a jury twice, but got kicked off both times.
Have you ever been called to serve on a jury? (I haven't - and I'm really annoyed about it, even though everyone says it's really boring.)
I love pushing the abstraction in my macro work. It creates a fun modern contemporary style. What do you think?
You can purchase this floral macro at ArtHero and Pictorem

I remember being in the third grade and there was a math problem that had the wrong answer in the book. And the teacher told me to come to the board and show why it was wrong, so I did. And she was like, βYou are correct, good job!β And I was so proud, and told my mom about it when she picked me up. But then also this realization hit me, βWait, these books can be wrong???β
Don't ask Suzanne Pleshette that question. She still carries a grudge for that schoolyard unpleasantness.

I have two crows who visit my office and knock on the window, to let me know it's time to put nuts on the sill outside.
MAGAs praised the expulsion of Dem TN lawmakers for βlack of decorumβ after they loudly protested the murder of children at a Christian schoolβ& now after subsequent protests in response to subsequent mass shootingsβMAGAs claim Dems didnβt protest loudly enough when children were murdered at a Christian school.π€
This is what it looks like when MAGAs politicize the murder of innocent children for cheap political points, rather than activate & demand justice to ensure children donβt die in vain.
The #txlege is trying to sneak in voucher bill #SB8 Mon after attempts to move it without a hearing were shot down. This time, they've added measures for more high-stake testing. This is what is at stake: @TexasObserver https://www.texasobserver.org/voucher-program-arizona-privitization-public-schools-disabilities/
Over on #birdsite, the hate group American College of Pediatricians claims they have been subject to a cyberattack when actually they just left 10,000 private files in a completely unsecured Google Drive. Aka they cyberattacked themselves: https://nitter.nl/ACPeds/status/1656630733966909441#m

I've watched it from the beginning, and I enjoy it, but hubs refuses to watch it - he says it feels exploitive. I understand why he feels that way.
It is a gimmick, with an overly-broad paintbrush, but just as I identified with The Doctor and Seven of Nine trying to figure out their humanity on Voyager, there are aspects of Sean Murphy figuring out how to "people" well that I relate to.
now feeling totally justified in never having seen this damn show https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2023/05/11/good-doctor-memes-autism/ @actuallyautistic #actuallyautistic

I talk to my dogs, and my parrot, sometimes in English, sometimes in canine/whistling. It's 50/50 which is more effective.
The parrot clearly understands intent, if not every word.
"You want to go upstairs and get some sleep?" A beak bump is yes, preening is no. When I head indoors, she anticipates the direction, with her wings spread and an occasional flap, until we're at her sleep closet door.

Oh yeah, totally. Itβs part of our egalitarian approach to status and hierarchy. Crows and dogs and cats and chickens are all people who just donβt speak our language, and afaict they usually appreciate our lame attempts to speak theirs.
Or as in your example, to speak ours at them unfiltered and vice versa, like Han Soloβs bilingual conversations with Chewbacca or Greedo or Jabba.
I don't know if we need AI to filter us out of the universe - distributed mobs of psychopaths will stop us long before artificial sentience emerges.

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
