"Give or take five thousand years."
Quite a warm day for the week before Christmas. Sunny, until very late, and our high was 73.9F. But that all changes tomorrow.
The day was spent looking for something I can write for Sirenia Digest 224. That included reading through parts of The Ammonite Violin & Others and Confessions of a Five-Chambered Heart. It's an odd (and I suppose terribly arrogant thing), looking to your own work for inspiration. Also, I signed a copy of the ARC of The Five of Cups (2003) and one of Daughter of Hounds (2007), both bought from us on the Dreaming Squid Sundries shop. We are still offering free COLOR monster doodles, as we try this months rent sale gets underway.
The afternoon's film was Alan Taylor's Thor: The Dark World (2013).
Something I said today on Twitter, after hearing this bullshit about Britain considering changing copyright laws so that corporations may use copyrighted works to help train AI: When you hear "AI will democratize art," what you truly hear is the hope that "AI will vanquish the need for talent & toil," usually spoken by the talentless & lazy. Art is already a democracy. Pick up a pencil, a sheet of paper, without paying exorbitant monthly fees.
Yes, please do quote me.
I read, in the latest JVP, "New Early Cretaceous Zalambdalestid Stem Placental Mammal from Mongolia and Evolution of Zalambdalestidae."
And the Governor of California has declared a state of emergency over avian flu, id est HPAI A(H5N1).
