Hopeful Chump @cousins.bsky.social · 20hIt is wild to me that medical schools can still have debates about whether women/POC feel pain the way white men do, and that biologists still debate whether fish or insects--beings with corporeal bodies--can feel pain. Yet here AI peddlers are, asking us to take a machine's pain seriously. BFFR 071

Hopeful Chump @cousins.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Leonie Swann (Three Bags Full) has a series with elderly folks solving mysteries. There are some similarities to Thursday Murder Club, but these old folks are a lot crabbier/more annoyed at being called on to solve problems for everyone. It's the Agnes Sharp series 010

Hopeful Chump @cousins.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Have you seen the BBC series A Stitch in Time? I believe the whole thing is available on YouTube and may give you more ideas. It's looking at historical fashion and having seamstresses remake the pieces to see how they wear on the body. It's super interesting! 060

As the cost of a transactional communication shrinks to zero for a business they are incentivized to massively scale their funnel and so massively increase the time wasted by 99% of the recipients of a message.
