Why does anyone get to have nuclear weapons?

Because once you have them, who’s going to try to take them away?

Celtic was founded by Irish immigrants to Scotland, and they’re big on that connection to this day. Waving Scottish flags is left to the Rangers fans.

One and the same person, Jack.

I also love Jasper Fforde, and it is because he was guest of honour at a Jodi Taylor event that I also got into her books. She writes a series about time-travelling historians which I would recommend.

She also writes at a much faster pace than Fforde does these days, so that’s a plus. I was never half as annoyed waiting for GRR Martin to write A Dance With Dragons as I was waiting for Red Side Story!

Because she is a woman on the internet, mostly.

It’s because of these two and David Lo Pan that I still say “indeed” a lot to this day.

It would be reasonable to not believe an exec’s statements when it comes to enshittification. But this guy talks as if he knows what he was talking about. If he did know what he was talking about, then he would have known who Meredith Whittaker was. And if he did, and thought she was lying, he would have said as much. Besides, it doesn’t seem as though this guy would consider adding AI to be enshittification anyway.

He’s unironically doing the “crispened potato snacks” bit.

Ah, fair enough! I forgot therapy dogs and guide dogs are a thing for a moment, there.

I’d be looking askance at whoever it was that said “good girl”, TBH. I can’t imagine saying that in a workplace to anyone who isn’t a literal child.

I sought an ADHD diagnosis.

I’d warn you that it’s a pretty horny film, but Francis Ford Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula (by Clive Barker /j) was also very horny, so that may not be an issue.

Something something Jesus new covenant.

A fellow Plan 9 enjoyer?

Haha! Yes! Informed consent…

whimpers in British

Aha! You can’t trap me with your recursion! It’s turtles faking it all the way down.

But what if I’m merely faking my concern about my faking it?

Jonathan Harker proves that he can’t do accent work, but he did do some decent acting in The Devil’s Advocate.

I am an introvert. But I’d really prefer to have a five minute call to a text message conversation taking place over an hour. Organising plans with people is infinitely more painful over text messages than it is over a group call. Am I unique in this?

Edit: I do appreciate it when people text to ask if now is a good time to call, though.

Pirating it wouldn’t make it more popular if you kept it to yourself, but talking about it after you watched it probably would.
