Because Iran's being bombed right now, I figured I'd share a thread of home videos of Iran (20+ years old) recorded by members of my family, just so people can see what Iran looks like without smoke/fire everywhere and to preserve those memories January 2006, Tehran (I think)

I should probably quit social media

Roger Schank was a truly odious individual. I was unfortunate to have met him once. I am now very proud that my one interaction with him was to get into an argument with him in front of a DARPA program manager.

I got the last word so I consider myself as having won the argument. This did not result in me getting any funding. (Those that know me IRL know that it is extremely out of character for me to be drawn into a heated, public fight. I can count the number of times on one hand.)

I love the Mistborn books. The Mistborn second age started to lose coherence for me tho when gods from other part of the Cosmere started invading and introducing new magic systems. Tess of the Emerald Isle is beautifully written. But the book is really all about Hoid and not Tess.
