Arcane Cache: Review to the games of Cal Michael.

The games of Cal Michael are a demanding „Gesamtkunstwerk“ – even if you approach them with good will and an open mind, they might largely escape you in the end – but are certainly worth a look. If you manage it to penetrate them, they reward you with a dive into a mystical, enthralling, and unique other-world.

A screenshot from "AUGUR SOUTH", showing a (submerged?) monochrome temple realized with bitsy. A sepia cliff-landscape. In the foreground, collages that form persons consisting of symbols, flowers, and birds. The one says to the other: "Yes, I can not image a hound would make a good surgeon".
Screenshot from "WELLSPRING OF SONG": A bird within a circle; other birds at the top left and top right position. Flowers grow fromn the cirlce, and a unreadable script is shown at the bottom of the image.

There appears to be a major loophole on the path to be elected 🇨🇦 Prime Minister.

If a candidate runs in a federal election without holding top-level security clearance, that clearance will be awarded automatically - with no vetting- should they win the PM seat.

Until now, no politician running for PM has considered doing so without holding a top-secret security clearance. Likely never crossed their mind..

Except Conservative leader, Pierre #Poilievre.

Yes this is definitely the situation.
How could non-conservatives possibly press his cult into demanding he go through security clearance vetting?
The only way he's going to do it is if his base demands it.

FWIW: Medicare is currently treating trans care as medically necessary. I had to get letters from therapists, but that's the WPATH standard of care. Took ~3 months from initial discussion to completion of my surgery.

Of course that could change at any moment. Especially if the 🍊💩 wins on Tuesday.

The skyscrapers along Park Avenue in the 40's and lower 50's are all minor engineering marvels. They're built atop the rail yard for Grand Central Terminal (an early adopter of the modern real estate concept of "air rights"). Many of the newer buildings are much taller than was anticipated when the terminal was constructed more than a century ago. This heavily constrains their foundations and anchor points, leading to unusual load-bearing designs such as the steelwork shown in the photo.

Backing on the #dearAbyss Kickstarter has stopped over the last day. I suspect it's hit the natural end. I should have done this as a ten-day campaign, oh well.

But hey, in case I'm wrong, here it is. mwl.io/ks

If Democrats lose three House seats Nov. 5, their supermajority in the House will be kaput. In the Senate, Democrats need to flip just one seat to secure a supermajority.
