After several months of climbing up the steep slopes of the Jezero crater rim, Perseverance has reached the top!
The afternoon sun provides a spectacular view on landscape which the rover will explore soon!

It would be so great if you’d stop putting words in my mouth, make faulty assumptions about my one point that murder is wrong, refrain from extrapolating from my singular point, and stop ‘splaining the injustices of Big Health, Big Pharma, etc to me as if I were unaware.
I have yet to disagree with any of those well thought out points about the vile state of health care.
I strongly disagree that murder is the solution, that we should glorify it, or the murderer.
Is that clear enough now?
#SciFi author David Brin @davidbrin has a nice little essay that fits the US's current political turmoils, and how Robert A. Heinlein's "future history" series of stories predicted something awfully close to what's playing out today.
It's worth reading.

In particular, I like that he gives #RAH a fair shake - a fair assessment, even. #Heinlein has been slandered as fascist, misleadingly described as right-wing for far too long, by people ignorant of his actual views.
Any GMs out there doing anything clever with random tables?
I’ve got books full of them, but they’re out of sight, out of mind a lot of the time. I’m thinking of compiling them all in Obsidian and using a die roller plugin. Maybe they’ll get more use that way.
RIP Tony Todd
Although he was famous for 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 roles, I’ll always remember him for his amazing & heartbreaking performance as adult Jake Sisko in #StarTrek DS9’s “The Visitor.”
“I won’t read a single ‘What the Democrats Did Wrong’ article, and I’ll end any subscription I might have had with the person writing it.
The Democrats did nothing wrong. The voters did. They all had access to the same information we had. They chose evil.”
