I have a library joke; it's really novel!

There’s a myth in the US that the only way to enact change is to elect sympathetic politicians and hope they do the right thing. But history shows that the most effective way to get politicians to act is to disrupt economic activity. Strikes, boycotts, sabotage, and other organized disruptions have overwhelmingly been the primary catalysts behind every major legislative action that has benefited the public.

The most recent episode of Watson had a character who had developed an unhealthy relationship with his AI chatbot.
He started to imagine he could see her talking to him, so Dr. Watson was trying to figure out how to treat this AI psychosis. The dialogue for the chatbot character was really well written. She sounded so much like ChatGPT, it was uncanny.
I wonder if the writers actually had ChatGPT write her lines.

Dana Schwartz O @DanaSchwartzzz I feel like this holiday season, it's important to remind people of the true meaning of christmas: ghosts terrorizing rich people in the middle of the night until they agree to pay their employees more

Friends!
Six weeks to the day when I first cast this on, and I’m happy to tell you that the #Startrek double #knitting scarf is complete!
This has been such a fun, and very challenging, project to make, at times feeling like it was never going to end.
I decided to make it fully, including the beads and I also added a fringe because every scarf needs a fringe if you ask me!
This is a surprise Christmas gift for a very close friend who’s a huge fan, I can’t wait to see the look on his face when he gets it!
I’m going to take a break from knitting now for this month, but there’s lots of other fun stuff lined up for next year.
Some stats for nerds:
611 rows.
84 stitches per row.
51,324 stitches in total.
450 beads.
1000 metres of yarn.
260 cm long, 20 cm wide.
42 days in total.
Around 100 hours of knitting.

Can't wait for my dishwasher to send Rinsed 2025, the traditional year-end wrap-up. I hope it includes that one extra-chunky lasagna pan.
It's gonna be especially great because I replaced the utensils basket in June or July. 😍
How many pounds of detergent do you think I used this year?! How many loads did I run with the rinse agent depleted?! I'm on the edge of my seat over here!

So, how are we feeling about this One Trek Hill poster?
Caption
Promotional poster: Along the top of reads "Paramount+ Original". Along the bottom: "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy New series streaming Jan 15". In the image we see six young people, laying in the grass, their bodies just slightly entangled in one another, but also kind of paired off. They're looking up at the sky, smiling and laughing. Maybe they saw a cloud that looks like Professor Tilly. In the top left is a young male Klingon with luxurious, shiny dreadlocks. He's laying his head on the stomach of a woman who appears human, possibly of African descent, with thick, beautiful curls in her hair, laughing uproariously. On the right is a young man, apparently human who looks like he just pledged his favorite sorority. You know the type. His name is probably Brad or Chad. Leaning on his arm is a young woman who is the only one not smiling, but is smirking. She looks like she's maybe ¼ Romulan: southern Romulan. Next to her is a guy who looks like he came straight out of a Calvin Klein ad, possibly of South or Central American descent. Leaning on him, on the left side, is a woman who looks like a young Brooke Shields, like she did in the film The Blue Lagoon.

Move to the country, they said. You'll see more wildlife, they said.
I guess this is just life in rural Texas.

A friend, while having an existential meltdown, just said:
"I think I'm grieving for the future."
And dayum! That pretty much sums up all the feels rather poetically, eh?
