Got to see sun’s laser light show while putting out the trash last night.

I realize part of what I’m grieving is the distance between the now and the then. There are just so many years between me and that young kid watching Star Trek with his family: an hour each week we shared together that felt easy, safe, and happy. And Patrick Stewart was at the center of that.

It’s advertising signage. The surface details are supposed to impress. Ideally, they’d have hired a freelancer to do their signage, or maybe they have someone in their organization who’s handy with a pack of colored markers.

Failing all of that, even an amateurish sign put together by somebody doing the best they could would have made a bigger impact. The AI-generated sign that they went with says “we put as little effort as possible into this.”
