Our GrubHub delivery driver this evening provided this proof-of-delivery photo. The progenitor of LA Neogothic photography is still a gig worker for now. But not for long, I suspect.

I have a question regarding this paragraph from Meta's manifesto "The Future Is For Everyone". What if you ask your Meta-provided superintelligent lawyer to sue Meta?

Text:

As a thought experiment, imagine only one person had a superintelligent lawyer. They would have an unfair advantage in court -- even if they were wrong on the merits. That would lead to a worse society. But now imagine everyone has a superintelligent lawyer. In this case, justice would be carried out much more fairly and efficiently than it is today when there is often an imbalance in skills and resources in litigation.

Without downloading new pics, what is it like dating you?

Apparently my apartment building is finally going to install that scale model of the Pluto-Charon system I've been requesting. 🙃

I spoke with Mitch McConnell for twenty minutes.

I didn't even know that He had become a director. Nice to see someone branching out in their third millennium.

I thought the venerable and respected Atlantic might have held out against the recent trend of firing all copy editors. Alas, 'twas not to be. 😞

Cropped phone screenshot of an article on theatlantic.com. Visible article text reads:

"communist frenzy. His two speeches over the Fourth of July speeches denounced Marxism-Leninism and presented Trump"

The two instances of the word "speeches" are underlined in red highlighter style. The second instance is an obvious writing or editing error.

Lovely!! In a happy coincidence, I also visited the salon today. 🙂

For those unfamiliar with tarot, here's the 7 of Swords from the Thoth deck. TL;DR: Not necessarily death, but also not the most encouraging card in the pack.

Even with everything that is broken and evil about our world today, I have to admit that it's pretty cool that I can think "It would be fun to make a nice chart showing the changing lineups of the band Yes" at lunchtime, and have this by 3 PM. 🙂

A chart titled "Yes studio lineups (1969 - 1987)", with years and album names across the top, roles in the band down the side, and colored blocks with names in them indicating who filled each role on each album.

Jon Anderson (former lead vocalist of Yes) is 81 years old. Tonight he and the Band Geeks put on a show so brilliant and powerful that it verged on being a mystical experience. It's good to have role models for growing old well.

It would be a lot more newsworthy if a town on the Columbia River in eastern Washington were somehow not near the Oregon border. 🙃

This is sure to scare Zuck onto the straight and narrow. 🙄

Of course! I do this whenever I unexpectedly run into the trans flag color scheme. For example, I felt like Southwest really went the extra mile to welcome me aboard this flight. (I have no idea whether this lighting was intentionally chosen to match the trans flag.) 🙂🏳️‍⚧️

Post a game you remember that nobody else remembers. 🎮

It's good to see the Prawns taking an interest in government, though I suppose it's predictable they would have a hard time reaching a quick consensus.

Pick a selfie from your gallery and turn it black & white.

@scalzi.com , how annoyed does the extra-dimensional field have to get before it enables FTL travel? 😁

An excerpt from a description of "The Collapsing Universe" by John Scalzi reading "Collapsing Universe. This book takes place in a universe where humanity has populated other corners of the galaxy thanks to The Flow, an extra-dimensional field that can be harassed for interstellar travel." Note that "harassed" is almost certainly meant to be "harnessed".

Oh dear -- the last thing I need is a blockade of that strait.

Looks like my job as a bishop of Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica cannot yet be automated. Phew! 😁

A cropped screenshot from the Android Google Docs app. A doc titled "Collects" is open. Text from the 5th Collect of the Gnostic Mass is displayed in the left pane. The right pane is a Gemini AI dialog with my prompt "Summarize this document" and Gemini's reply "Something went wrong. Try again."

Well, I guess I'll have to save the entire back half of the plane all by myself!
