    @CelticRambler, are you saying that France has a history of satire? That would be true, especially with Asterix the Gaul, but Britain also @CelticRambler, which country? Britain or France? I'm curious because I'm wondering about your reference to that strong tradition. I'm reading Marion...

    @mlesemann and @sfoster, thanks. I keep thinking of the scene in the 1980's movie, "Excalibur", where Sir Lancelot said that no one could cross the bridge unless they beat him at a jousting match. This scene was also done in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", when the knight, having his limbs...

    @mlesemann, how do you suggest I turn it into satire? "Life of Brian" and "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" would be a good start, I guess.

    My writing.

    I'm reading up on history, to lay a foundation for my retelling of the Arthurian legend. One of my issue is writing about the Lady of the Lake. As the Legend goes, she is the keeper of the Excalibur, giving it to Arthur and, when he dies, receiving it. But, since I'm a divorce lawyer, whenever I...

    I'll post some random scenes about my retelling of the Arthurian legend. This is not historical fiction but rather historical fantasy, because I'm playing fast and loose with historical events - there certainly were no dragons during the Roman era. >>>>>> The breeze blew across the ships...

    My writing.

    Today is the Feast of St George. I'm writing bits and pieces on the retelling of legend of King Arthur, so, of course, I would be reading up on prior versions. Anyway, I was going to start the story from the fall of the Roman Empire, when the soldiers decide to stay and make their lives in...

    industry Did Disney lose money on Star Wars?

    I have been under the impression that the Mouse House recouped its $4 billion purchase price with the new trilogy, but this Forbes article says otherwise. I'm not up on this, but it seems that the trilogy made the money, then the subsequent movies bombed, creating the loss. In any case...

    Universal Basic Income

    Boston Dynamics has apparenlty never turned a profit, so there's no reason to presume AI of that kind would be cost effective.

    software-related AI Video has arrived - It looks incredible

    This article shows the shortcomings of AI when it comes to replacing humans and it also references the video in this thread as just a demo.
