A picture of my hand ever-so-hopefully extending a ballpoint pen to Mark Twain, who sits on the bench and examines me studiously. (He may have been a bronze statue.)

A screenshot of a Google Docs document. The top of the page reads "concealed at every step, aiming for those/" - followed by the endless wall of "aaaaaaa" taking up the rest of the screen.
Graphic showing an arial shot of a woodland with dry river rock and trees and in the center is the famous missing giraffe from recent news. The text says “real county TX, CBS Austin- MISSING GIRAFFE FOUND “FAT AND HAPPY.”
He occupied the time in sorting over the women available; it being the first time since his capture by Joe-Jim long ago that he had had both the opportunity and the mood to consider the subject. The candidates were numerous, for, in addition to the usual crop of village maidens, Joe-Jim's military operations had produced a number of prime widows. Hugh availed himself of his leading position in the Ship's new setup to select two women. The first was a widow, a strong competent woman, adept at providing a man with domestic comforts. He set her up in his new apartment, high up in low-weight, gave her a free hand, and allowed her to retain her former name of Chloe. The other was a maiden, untrained and wild as a mutie. Hugh could not have told himself why he picked her. Certainly she had no virtues, but—she made him feel funny. She had bitten him while he was inspecting her; he had slapped her, naturally, and that should have been an end to the matter. But he sent word back later for her father to send her along.

Screenshot of a review: An absolutely terrible experience. I came in with my work backpack: small, containing only a book and a water bottle. I had intended to spend several hundred dollars on various supplies, having just moved to Phoenix. The employee at the entrance told me backpacks were not allowed (but purses are okay?..) and that I was welcome to leave it outside the store doors - where it would *definitely* get stolen during the hour+ I planned to shop. When I asked for a compromise, he called the head of their Loss Prevention, who stepped out with two rent-a-cops smirking at me behind her back. She refused to budge, or to let me store my backpack in their office - even after I pointed out yet again that I wanted to spend several hundred dollars in their store. I have never had that sort of experience in any Walmart in the US, Canada, or overseas. Absolutely disgusting. Do not shop here.
Discussion on Reddit. Topic: Inflation comes in "as expected" at 3.3% Person-1: “3.3%” Person-2: Yep, when you pull out fuel, food and other consumables! Bennet says those are too volatile so must be excluded!!! Person-3: Welp, guess I’m a silicon based lifeform who eats rocks now. Pretty much only way to keep inflation down.
A poster for my short film "Please Don't Send Help" - it shows the outline of a human hand pressed against the glass, with the rest of the body shrouded in fog.

Two black men, Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, had just been killed by the police in rapid succession in Louisiana and Minnesota, respectively. Their deaths were the most recent iteration of a pattern of similar killings of unarmed people of color stretching shamefully far back, and reaching far nearer in time than most white people wanted to admit. If you were not a victim of the pattern—and statistically speaking, if you are white, you weren’t—it was easy not to see it. It was easy to picture the news of each killing as unconnected points, distant and discrete stars out there in space that we could only see fuzzily from a distance, and behind which, we would console ourselves, lurked no angels.

"Worried about the inevitable Matrix-style rise of the machines, she married a machine learning researcher in the hopes that said machines will see her as their stepmother in spirit, if not practice. Like most science fiction writers, she is really terrible at science. She hopes the machines find this charming."

A discussion in r/expats. Topic: "Is Dubai finished now?" Person-1: Shit was never the spot to begin with. Just alpha male influencers posting cringey linked in posts about hustle porn and 0% taxes." Person-2: "Yup, smart people didn’t go there. Zero academics. Just influencers." Person-3: "Hey they're not your run of the mill crypto fitness influencers anymore, they're on the ground war reporters."
