America has a long history of pointless and wasteful military adventurism. And in our quest to normalize Trump we’ve stuck his Iran war in that box: “another war, just like the rest.” It’s not like the rest. It’s an act of insanity, rogue state behavior. Don’t know how this ends until we admit it.
Thank you! It was a HUGE amount of fun!

We are cooked…
Its a screencap of Doctor Who with a scene featuring Missy aka The Master played by Michelle Gomez and the 12th Doctor played by Peter Capaldi it reads "I Can Fix Him" says Woman Who is Worse.
That was NOT fun!

Me in a floral Elsie style dress This soft and flattering dress creates an hourglass silhouette with its feminine draping and wrap-around design. The plunging V-neckline and cinched waist draw the eye inward, while gentle gathering and a cascade of flares accentuate the hips. Finished with a slim, asymmetrical hemline that falls just below the knee.
A beautiful vase of roses and gerberas (spellcheck doesn’t like that word?)

Working on a q&a lecture for a class today: The story of robots is always a story about slavery. The story of LLMs labeled as AI is a story about class, and which humans pay the cost, including the physical toll on their bodies/minds, and the lack of water and electricity, so data centers can exist.
Me dressed as Moxie Mouse, a mouse with a sword (grey skirt, black and white crosshatched top, mouse makeup and ears and tail)

It’s World Book Day!
Hope you have a wonderful one!
Brilliant to see all the costumes!

So do I!
My great great great uncle is a Catholic Saint, literally a saint
Two confirmed miracles and everything
My queer children are delighted that he is the gayest of Catholic Saints
Very on brand for us as a family (absolutely not Catholic)

Moxie costume: I wear a grey skirt and black and white crosshatched shirt Mouse ears and tail Accessorised with sword Full mouse makeup and white hair spray
Mouse makeup and ears and hair sprayed white
Moxie Mouse book, badge (which I shall wear) and stickers!
Well it’s World Book Day and I read at an infant school
Apparently Murderbot is (according to my family) not really an appropriate inspiration so instead I chose Moxie Mouse, who features in the children’s class book this term…
Moxie may be a mouse, but a mouse with a sword!

“I didn't think there had been a person inside Hostile Two since before the first time we killed him.”
Which, given your answer is interesting to think about!
So—thank you so much to the reply!

The books are a wonderful source of comfort!
There are two exceptions to this, which are the assassins in the HelpMe.file. in Network Effect—
These are augmented humans but designated Hostile One and Hostile Two.
So, human but Hostiles.
However, Murderbot describes them as less sentient than hauler bots, and says:

Ooh, this is an interesting answer!
What I had noticed is that those Murderbot actually designates (Hostile One, Target One etc.) are respectively non-human (Hostile One—the worm) and human (Target One, Target Two etc.)

Someone on this train is wearing a scarf that looks so much like mince I did a double take.

Doing some baking with my child!
I recall back in the 1980s (as a teenager) trying to carbonate black coffee using a SodaStream…
It was an exciting [extremely messy] experiment, and not one I repeated
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
Hand from the image which looks weird to me
I think it looks like its been edited—based mostly on my not liking the hand
