Watching scifi movies and seeing a character ask an AI to do or evaluate something hits different now.

I'm watching Alien: Covenant and the pilot just asked the spaceship AI how close they could get to the storm in the planet's atmosphere.

The AI answered 80 kilometres, which I assume at this point is a confidently wrong answer, probably pulled from an unattributed blogpost systems away about a different ship, different atmosphere, and different storm.

• @BriannaWu on Twitter: "Wow. That's got to be averaging in the 75 htz range, and I'm hearing a lot going below 50. Typical female speaking range is 160-240. Androgynous is 160-140, though most of us dip in and out." Original poster's commentary: "you tried to transvestigate Brittney Griner. for no reason. why do you feel the need to police what hertz range someone’s voice is and how it does or doesn’t match with someone’s gender? very unnecessary lmfao. you do realize different races have varying range of voices."

this is so very damned cool (pun intended).
the Klamath will become a gorgeous river again, and perhaps the ecosystems depending upon it can heal.

- salmon running mean bear & others eating salmon.

- critters eating salmon leave fertilizer (salmon bones & guts & etc) by the riverside

- and so the underlying forest ecosystem expands & flourishes.

how do you afford your rock and roll lifestyle?

we're trying to do it by making rock and roll, among other things!

this week last year, we released @DoctorDeathray and Her Implements of Destruction's "51 Miles from Nowhere" and celebrated with Doctor Deathday, our album release show, which is now available as a live album:

https://doctordeathray.bandcamp.com/album/doctor-deathday-live

since it's the last Bandcamp Friday until this fall, check it out and consider: why not Deathray?
