no image description available — Morning Open Thread is a daily post from a host of editors and guest writers. Cowbell! Growler! Cane Frog! We support our community, invite and share ideas, and encourage thoughtful, respectful dialogue in an open forum. Cowbell! Growler! Cane Frog! The diarist gets to sleep in if so desired, or attend other matters, and can show up long after the post is published. Cowbell! It's a feature, not a bug. Cowbell! Growler! Cane Frog! Other than that, site rulz rule. Cowbell! Growler! Cane Frog!

The words of the day are “growler” and “cane frog”...

For this week’s CT in Genre 203 we have “TechnoCalyps Parts I-III TransHuman, Preparing for the Singularity, The Digital Messiah”. The Humanoids, Blade Runner and its’ sequels, now techocalyps?
