I got “ai haters” too and I couldn’t be more pleased with this

Hey @kierongillen.bsky.social I’m getting solicitations on your behalf. I don’t think I’d be as good of a guest but I could pretend?

Normally I post about Terry Pratchett headshotting These Times, but here’s Douglas Adams doing the same thing. “It is very easy to be blinded by the essential uselessness of them by the sense of achievement you get from getting them to work at all”

those guys, you know. They really are the creeps of the cosmos, buzzing round the celestial infinite with their junky little machines that never work properly or, when they do, perform functions that no sane man would require of them and;" he added savagely, "go beep to tell you when they've done it!"
This was perfectly true, and a very respectable view widely held by right-thinking people, who are largely recognizable as being right-thinking people by the mere fact that they hold this view.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, in a moment of reasoned lucidity which is almost unique among its current tally of five million, nine hundred and seventy-three thousand, five hundred and nine pages, says of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation products that "it is very easy to be blinded to the essential uselessness of them by the sense of achievement you get from getting them to work at all.
"In other words-and this is the rock-solid principle on which the whole of the Corporation's Galaxywide success is founded-their fundamental design flaws are completely bidden by their superficial design flaws."
"And this guy," ranted Ford, "was on a drive to sell more of them! His five-year mission to seek out and explore strange new worlds, and sell Advanced Music Substitute Systems to their restaurants, elevators, and wine bars! Or if they didn't have restaurants, elevators, and wine bars yet, to artificially accelerate their civilization growth until they bloody well did have! Where's that coffee!"
"I threw it away."
"Make some more. I have now remembered what I did next. I saved civilization as we know. I knew it was something like that."

Sabiha gave us permission to post this. @levarburton.bsky.social you come up a few times in this ep too.

I think I now have a sourdough familiar, @tkingfisher.com — I found a packet of dried starter I bought 30 years ago in the Yukon, and it revived. I am genuinely shocked.

Left: a tan packet labeled Yukon Sourdough Starter (with a lot of commentary on the gold rush)
Right: a glass King Arthur sourdough crock with a very happy bubbling mush of flour, water, and billions of very confused wild yeasts thousands of miles from home

A reasonable first attempt at a sourdough loaf, cut to show that the wild yeasts actually provided leavening

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #164,942! I wish I had a fun number but at least I’m in the top 10%z

Turns out the leftovers make really good pan pizza topping! Just added an extra dose of fresh thyme. Dough recipe courtesy Kenji Lopez-Alt.

We seem to have a hot dog/bun problem with bagels and lox. So I keep making bagels and buying lox. This is an expensive problem.

Who would have thought, in 2023, I would hold a new Discworld book.

I guess I should be posting or something but I’m just kinda tired and sad. So here’s a thing I printed off an internet file.

A 3d printed Discworld, complete with the four elephants and the turtle.

So happy with this piece of art I commissioned for the end of The Compleat Discography. The Tiffany Aching series has become more and more important to me over the past two years, and is helping me with the loss of our own Granny Aching two days ago. @rhi.bsky.social @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com
