Looks like Dionne did todays evening show in the reveal look because of the heat! Bet the other queens were jealous she got to take a layer off! And the LIWs in short sleeved tees too

Ha, I was just coming to write up a post! Love how quick y’all are!

L-R: Alice Angliss as Maria, Emma Jemima as Maggie, Kelly Morris as Bessie, Caitlin Morgan as Joan. @/thekellymorris.

They recently switched to wearing shorts for the summer months, but to my knowledge this is the first time to my knowledge that they’ve worn plain t-shirts since opening on the West End. I have a more in depth post about their costumes here.

@/danielle.rosee_

For the matinee today Dionne Ward-Anderson wore her full costume. But for the evening she only wore it up until the reveal - only her shorts were back on after.

This is a different Six AU.

Because why not?

So everything still stays the same but the girls make england.. better?

Like bessie won wars for the king, She's known as ' the queen who fights in the fron lines ', she goes and makes plans and shit.

-1st queen

Maggie does law, Everything about law and she's very good at it in england and wrote a few books that became popular later on because ' how dare a woman write such good piece of literature while being in informative ' time.

-3rd

Maria just really gave a lot of plays, playwrites and songs, Alot of them actually. Her time was called ' entertainer's land ' because of the number of plays she administrated and how good they were, they were good for children and adults. It was educational ( because not alot of people get that those days ), and entertaining

-4th queen

And Joan literally built houses, like great houses that stood for time, she was an architect at heart and was amazing with what she did, She created long standing houses, castles, random wells and created great fucking sewer systems, like shit man she was awesome!

-2nd queen

- how they died?

(divorced - bessie )

(beheaded - Joan )

(Died - Maggie )

(Survived - Maria )

Bessie was a woman from spain and Germany, everyone liked her.

Bessie was replaced by someone younger, and prettier, much more yadda yadda, so when they divorced it was this whole heavy shit, it was so heavy that england lost most of it's follower's.

Joan was the replacement, Joan didn't even know lile the king, she was just there doing her be damned duties until he raped her and replaced the queen.. she was 16!

She was so disrespected lile girlie was having a hard time, Once she built better houses it gone.. softer, better? No. But softer.

Then was accused of sleeping with the pope ( finds out not only with the pope but with a sister and a brother, [ they were actually an incestuous couple with a boy ] she claims she was innocent, no one believed her and her punishment?

She was paraded, naked on a cross, her hands were nailed to it and she had a stand on her feet. She almost died everytime because of blood loss. ( Then she was beheaded ).

-----

Maggie was Just a normal girl, then two days after the death of the queen, the king saw something in her and kidnapped her and kept her.

She became queen, set out good laws and everyone loved her.. more then the king, the king getting angry about the attention made ehr pregnant and give him a son.

She didn't, the baby died in her when she died.

---

Maria, Unlike those ones, she outlived henry because he was getting old and she loved her job, people loved her she was well educated and died an old age of 59 ( that was old for woman in england that time )

Im calling this a-

Idol AU

#henry the eighth #joan on the keys #bessie on the bass #maria on the drums #maggie on the guitar

I'm getting slowly yet steadily through the next chapter of Tonight, Tonight. I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to cobble together some kind of visiting procedures based on (a) my experiences visiting prisons, (b) my experiences visiting psychiatric hospitals, and (c) what we see of Pennhurst in S4. All in all, the "going through security" portion of the chapter is taking up a lot of words (although that's partly because the waiting-around portion of going through security is as good a place as any to catch up on Jonathan's thoughts on Nancy's letter).

#he's low-key accused of trying to send joyce satanic messages #through a mixtape that's. just. like. a lot of joan baez #because having inappropriately adult responsibilities doesn't keep adults from irrationally accusing you of Teen Dirtbag Activities #tonight tonight the highway's bright

Working on fixing some of my personal writing so that I can enter it in a scholarship contest for my university. It’s not a lot of money, if I win but it will cover 1 class completely and pay for about half of a 2nd class if I win. I feel pretty good about this story too.

It’s about a gay WWI vet and his best friend who also served in the war. His best friend becomes a female husband and marries a war widow who he falls in love with. She’s bisexual too and when they first meet her she has a girlfriend so the two soldiers know she also likes women.

“Female husband” was a historic term for people who would either be butch women or trans men today (depending on each person) but terms are more broad/vague because of the time period it comes from. Basically, it referred to any female born person who dressed as a man in order to legally marry a woman. So it was a work around to get out of the enforced straight marriages- as long as a couple had one person who presented and passed as male and one who presented and passed as female, they could get married.

The gay character was the main character but I think I like the married couple better after writing and rewriting so many different scenes from the same story for several months.

#His character reference was dorian gray and his friend is Joan of Arc basically #the wife is Collette's character the bisexual queen Claudine #pretty sure a straight person wouldn't write stuff like thissss #also I'm editing it down so much because the word count is soooo low #and this is related to a story I was developing in a class earlier this year #it will likely be my nanowrimo because I'm low key obsessed with them #I'm also SUPER annoying with literary ties #nanowrimo #writeblr #this will probably be on youtube eventually too #I was planning on adding it once I finished it #I'm not watering it down for the straight people too bad they're all gay #he's British and the couple are French so I thought their character references should be from the same culture/sexuality as they were #writing #nanowrimo 2022 #this story is like the 1920 paris version of the LGBT regency stories I was writing a few years ago #hopefully the writing is better #lgbt characters #female husband #WWI #historic lgbt people in fiction #my chatter #irl updates I guess #I might be posting more on this one later

How to level up your open house🚀✨

2 WEEKS UNTIL

• Brainstorm: create a concept & outline for the open house, start reaching out to catering, sponsors etc.

• Marketing & Branding: create social media content, postcard invitations, brochures. I went a little extra and got custom branded coconuts 🥥 branded boxed rose giveaways 🌹 and custom cakes 🎂 matching my listing.

PRESENTATION = BRANDING and goes a long way => get creative and pay attention to details.

• Invite pt 1: Send (or drop) postcard invitations or letters to all the neighbors & local community spots like the tennis club, yacht club etc. It can take up to 5 days to arrive with first class mail so don’t do this last minute.

FEW DAYS UNTIL

• Home prep: make sure the home is in perfect condition & professionally cleaned.

• Invites pt 2: Invite as much people as you can through call, text, email etc. Agents, brokers, developers, clients and anyone else in the real estate or luxury industry.

• Marketing: go full force online promoting your open house!🚀

• Shopping: make a checklist and make sure you get everything you need.

THE BIG DAY

• Open up the home, open all blinds, turn on all lights, add some luxury home fragrance in the home, add flowers & put some nice background music matching the vibe.

• Set up the food and drinks in the kitchen and have a dedicated branding & sign in set up at the entrance with your cards, brochures, flyers, and an iPad to sign in.

• Have a team help you host & tour guests.

• Encourage guests to create content and share online 🎬

• Most importantly have fun and don’t forget to send “thank you” follow ups to all your guests that attended!

———

PS. I had over 60 people showing up on mine, which was probably the best turn out I’ve seen! 🤩 Thanks everyone again for stopping by and can’t wait for the next one!🤍

———

Please share & save this to level up your next open house!🏡

Special thanks to my sponsors ❤️@iamthemortgagecoach @frudeco @theroyalroses @coconutstock @magspread

📍730 N Mashta Dr, Key Biscayne | Miami

Three AI insights for hard-charging, future-oriented smartypantses

MERE HOURS REMAIN for the Kickstarter for the audiobook for The Bezzle, the sequel to Red Team Blues, narrated by @wilwheaton! You can pre-order the audiobook and ebook, DRM free, as well as the hardcover, signed or unsigned. There’s also bundles with Red Team Blues in ebook, audio or paperback.

Living in the age of AI hype makes demands on all of us to come up with smartypants prognostications about how AI is about to change everything forever, and wow, it's pretty amazing, huh?

AI pitchmen don't make it easy. They like to pile on the cognitive dissonance and demand that we all somehow resolve it. This is a thing cult leaders do, too – tell blatant and obvious lies to their followers. When a cult follower repeats the lie to others, they are demonstrating their loyalty, both to the leader and to themselves.

Over and over, the claims of AI pitchmen turn out to be blatant lies. This has been the case since at least the age of the Mechanical Turk, the 18th chess-playing automaton that was actually just a chess player crammed into the base of an elaborate puppet that was exhibited as an autonomous, intelligent robot.

The most prominent Mechanical Turk huckster is Elon Musk, who habitually, blatantly and repeatedly lies about AI. He's been promising "full self driving" Telsas in "one to two years" for more than a decade. Periodically, he'll "demonstrate" a car that's in full-self driving mode – which then turns out to be canned, recorded demo:

https://www.reuters.com/technology/tesla-video-promoting-self-driving-was-staged-engineer-testifies-2023-01-17/

Musk even trotted an autonomous, humanoid robot on-stage at an investor presentation, failing to mention that this mechanical marvel was just a person in a robot suit:

https://www.siliconrepublic.com/machines/elon-musk-tesla-robot-optimus-ai

Now, Musk has announced that his junk-science neural interface company, Neuralink, has made the leap to implanting neural interface chips in a human brain. As Joan Westenberg writes, the press have repeated this claim as presumptively true, despite its wild implausibility:

https://joanwestenberg.com/blog/elon-musk-lies

Neuralink, after all, is a company notorious for mutilating primates in pursuit of showy, meaningless demos:

https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-pcrm-neuralink-monkey-deaths/

I'm perfectly willing to believe that Musk would risk someone else's life to help him with this nonsense, because he doesn't see other people as real and deserving of compassion or empathy. But he's also profoundly lazy and is accustomed to a world that unquestioningly swallows his most outlandish pronouncements, so Occam's Razor dictates that the most likely explanation here is that he just made it up.

The odds that there's a human being beta-testing Musk's neural interface with the only brain they will ever have aren't zero. But I give it the same odds as the Raelians' claim to have cloned a human being:

https://edition.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/01/03/cf.opinion.rael/

The human-in-a-robot-suit gambit is everywhere in AI hype. Cruise, GM's disgraced "robot taxi" company, had 1.5 remote operators for every one of the cars on the road. They used AI to replace a single, low-waged driver with 1.5 high-waged, specialized technicians. Truly, it was a marvel.

Globalization is key to maintaining the guy-in-a-robot-suit phenomenon. Globalization gives AI pitchmen access to millions of low-waged workers who can pretend to be software programs, allowing us to pretend to have transcended the capitalism's exploitation trap. This is also a very old pattern – just a couple decades after the Mechanical Turk toured Europe, Thomas Jefferson returned from the continent with the dumbwaiter. Jefferson refined and installed these marvels, announcing to his dinner guests that they allowed him to replace his "servants" (that is, his slaves). Dumbwaiters don't replace slaves, of course – they just keep them out of sight:

https://www.stuartmcmillen.com/blog/behind-the-dumbwaiter/

So much AI turns out to be low-waged people in a call center in the Global South pretending to be robots that Indian techies have a joke about it: "AI stands for 'absent Indian'":

https://pluralistic.net/2024/01/29/pay-no-attention/#to-the-little-man-behind-the-curtain

A reader wrote to me this week. They're a multi-decade veteran of Amazon who had a fascinating tale about the launch of Amazon Go, the "fully automated" Amazon retail outlets that let you wander around, pick up goods and walk out again, while AI-enabled cameras totted up the goods in your basket and charged your card for them.

According to this reader, the AI cameras didn't work any better than Tesla's full-self driving mode, and had to be backstopped by a minimum of three camera operators in an Indian call center, "so that there could be a quorum system for deciding on a customer's activity – three autopilots good, two autopilots bad."

Amazon got a ton of press from the launch of the Amazon Go stores. A lot of it was very favorable, of course: Mister Market is insatiably horny for firing human beings and replacing them with robots, so any announcement that you've got a human-replacing robot is a surefire way to make Line Go Up. But there was also plenty of critical press about this – pieces that took Amazon to task for replacing human beings with robots.

What was missing from the criticism? Articles that said that Amazon was probably lying about its robots, that it had replaced low-waged clerks in the USA with even-lower-waged camera-jockeys in India.

Which is a shame, because that criticism would have hit Amazon where it hurts, right there in the ole Line Go Up. Amazon's stock price boost off the back of the Amazon Go announcements represented the market's bet that Amazon would evert out of cyberspace and fill all of our physical retail corridors with monopolistic robot stores, moated with IP that prevented other retailers from similarly slashing their wage bills. That unbridgeable moat would guarantee Amazon generations of monopoly rents, which it would share with any shareholders who piled into the stock at that moment.

See the difference? Criticize Amazon for its devastatingly effective automation and you help Amazon sell stock to suckers, which makes Amazon executives richer. Criticize Amazon for lying about its automation, and you clobber the personal net worth of the executives who spun up this lie, because their portfolios are full of Amazon stock:

https://sts-news.medium.com/youre-doing-it-wrong-notes-on-criticism-and-technology-hype-18b08b4307e5

Amazon Go didn't go. The hundreds of Amazon Go stores we were promised never materialized. There's an embarrassing rump of 25 of these things still around, which will doubtless be quietly shuttered in the years to come. But Amazon Go wasn't a failure. It allowed its architects to pocket massive capital gains on the way to building generational wealth and establishing a new permanent aristocracy of habitual bullshitters dressed up as high-tech wizards.

"Wizard" is the right word for it. The high-tech sector pretends to be science fiction, but it's usually fantasy. For a generation, America's largest tech firms peddled the dream of imminently establishing colonies on distant worlds or even traveling to other solar systems, something that is still so far in our future that it might well never come to pass:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/01/09/astrobezzle/#send-robots-instead

During the Space Age, we got the same kind of performative bullshit. On The Well David Gans mentioned hearing a promo on SiriusXM for a radio show with "the first AI co-host." To this, Craig L Maudlin replied, "Reminds me of fins on automobiles."

Yup, that's exactly it. An AI radio co-host is to artificial intelligence as a Cadillac Eldorado Biaritz tail-fin is to interstellar rocketry.

Back the Kickstarter for the audiobook of The Bezzle here!
