Speaking of triumphant returns, the writer of The Last Ronin wants Judith Hoag to reprise her role as April O'Neil in the rated-R adaptation releasing next year. My goodness do I want that too. Original turtle costumes again please. It will be incredible

Just had a platform survey me about the #AI features I'd like to see them add. My response was loud and clear:
I need to be able to disable AI features completely. My MSAs have rules governing the use of AI. If your platform can't disable it, many companies are not going to be able to use your software and stay legally compliant.
Feature #1 should be the off switch.
Please share this loudly everywhere.

Unpopular opinion, perhaps?
If your sport is won or lost on a last second wild action and luck then that's not a win. If a game is that close that a coin flip determined it then you tied. I don't care about the number at the end.

This song has been stuck in my head for about 35 years.

You know what really grinds my gears?
At some point some real jerk-of-a-boss told his team, "I don't care if it's not done. Ship it anyway and we'll charge the customer to get the rest," and it actually worked. And now we get games that require DLCs to play anything. I hate that we fell for it and that guy probably got promoted.
(This is not a commentary on Unity's new CEO... but in a way...)

I don't have a cat. I rent this apartment and there's no pets allowed. If we were allowed we would have a cat. I would pet the cat. It would be warm and soft and lovely.
Do you have a cat? If so can you pet it for me and report back. Warm? Soft? Lovely?

I have a podcast about Solarpunk for writers called Solarpunk Prompts. It's about halfway through season 2. The episode released today is called The Tower:
Displaced people are moved into a new sustainable climate-controlled tower designed to help them find community. For some it's a dream come true, for others a culture shock. How will this setting come to life as a vision for a Solarpunk future? How can we envision a better way of living by focusing on their humanity?
https://podcast.tomasino.org/@SolarpunkPrompts/episodes/the-tower
The podcast is based around the idea of providing a new writing prompt each episode that explores some of the themes of the Solarpunk genre and activist movement. We discuss some inspirations, considerations, and various ways to tell the story.
While the subject matter is focused on writing, the audience is quite diverse. Many non-writers enjoy it simply to learn more about Solarpunk in general.
Have a listen! You can find it at the link above, or by searching in your favorite podcast app. If you don't know what Solarpunk is at all, you might try listening to Episode 1 of Season 1 for an overview of the genre and movement, and the reasons why this podcast came into being.
Most episodes are around 10 minutes long. The Tower is our longest at just over 16 minutes.

Solarpunk PromptsS02E04 - The Pharmacists
How will access to pharmaceuticals impact the Solarpunk future? In this prompt we explore data miners seeking to liberate the data buried by intellectual property to find new cures and hopes for their communities. We also discuss the state of the pharma industry in the global south and how the reality of today shapes the futures of tomorrow.

Are you a HAM operator? Wanna chat with the ISS? You can, and NASA even made guides on how to do it and where to aim that antenna.
