Visitors from Planet Tralfamadore
For a Lifetime, an intimate portrait of two Andean condors, has won the top prize at the Patagonia photo contest 2026. Mauricio Rossanigo, the photographer, said: “The pair arrived, and the magic happened: they started grooming and interacting in such a beautiful way that we couldn’t believe it, and I just had to click at the right moment.”

For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes. But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course, that’s Moses, not Jesus. I haven’t heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere. “Blessed are the merciful” in a courtroom? “Blessed are the peacemakers” in the Pentagon? Give me a break!

LLMs try to have humour, too. I'm not sure how good it is.

A quotation from Kurt Vonnegut
And on the subject of burning books: I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical strength or their powerful political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country, have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles.
So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (1922-2007) American novelist, journalist

CW: AI related humor(?) and profanity.
So, possibly people have already pointed this out and I'm just late to the party. But I'm sort of surprised I haven't seen any discussion yet of how the Claude logo looks like Kurt Vonnegut's stylized anus asterisk doodle, but with more pointy bits.
Every time I see it show up somewhere, can't help thinking:
"This asshole again!"

A quotation from Kurt Vonnegut
The most important thing I learned on Tralfamadore was that when a person dies he only appears to die. He is still very much alive in the past, so it is very silly for people to cry at his funeral. All moments, past, present and future, always have existed, always will exist. The Tralfamadorians can look at all the different moments just that way we can look at a stretch of the Rocky Mountains, for instance. They can see how permanent all the moments are, and they can look at any moment that interests them. It is just an illusion we have here on Earth that one moment follows another one, like beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone it is gone forever.

Roughly halfway through Pluribus and really digging it. There's a strong whiff of The X-Files about it (which makes sense given Gilligan's background) and it also owes a lot to Vonnegut imo.
Overall, Gilligan has knocked it out of the park again. And Rhea Seehorn is spectacular. As are the rest of the cast. Great stuff
Now, a quick herbal tea and back to the show...
