Ancient Roman Frescoes with MidJourney and AI
Here are some examples of "ancient roman frescoes" as created with Midjourney. One is of an inscription foretelling doom, two are of sea creatures, and one is of a Cthulu-like creature from space. I find that one is much better off to tell MidJourney what kind of style or artist's work to use as a template than to let it default to its own banal choices.

My Friend as a Seat Filler at the Academy Awards (tm)
So you attended the Academy Awards(tm) ?
"Yes. As a seat filler. There must have been 100 of us. So to keep the seats full for the camera. 4 of us were assigned the front row center seats where Jack Nicholson always sat, and watched the awards for hairstyling and makeup. They moved us around during commercials as members would go out for a drink or restrooms. My last seat was in the third row next to DeNiro and his wife, and Scorcese was right behind. I had to say hi to both. Jodi Foster and Annette Bening were 2 rows in front and Tim Robbins was right behind. Across the aisle were Billie Eilish and Ryan Gosling, who switched to a pink sequined outfit for his I am Ken extravaganza where he led like 80 men in a synchronized dance. What a strange and transient experience."

No More Comments on a Facebook Group
I made some pithy comment on a facebook group about "Virtual Beings". And my comment was removed by the administrator who didn't like it. So I removed myself from that group and the lesson is learned. No more comments on Facebook groups. Total waste of my time.
