IT IS TIME The man looked up from his beach chair. "Really?" He said. "I've only just retired." Death held up a timer. A single grain was about to fall. And then... It didn't. CURIOUS Vetinari shrugged. "I've only just discovered drinks with little umbrellas. I'll let it fall in a bit" 1/17

This set of observations is produced by my scrolling Reddit and otherwise listening to people talk about "how to write." A) there is no requirement that any of your characters has any sort of "arc" let alone a redemption. B) there is also no requirement that your fiction has a plot.

New Gist: Trans rights are Data rights An unusually long Gist on the data protection implications of the UK Supreme Court's decision to define what is the meaning of the word 'woman' in a single UK Act. (Also: the CJEU, colonialism, Joyce's Ulysses and Sinn Féin) www.thegist.ie/the-gist-tra...

The Gist: Trans rights are Data rights
A UK court has made a decision defining genders which has put it at odds with a less noticed, more important, decision from the CJEU. This is the Gist.

🧵This is a thread about Reply Guys. I like it when posts go viral coz I'm a big show-off and the internet is responsible for most of my career. When you go viral you get new followers, fun replies, sometimes even industry interest omg. But you also get: Reply Guys.

Saw a very strange bus ad today - support our veterans, the fuchsia appeal? It seemed like an ad written for a non Irish audience - any clues? #dublin

My son (aged 3) just asked the next door neighbour if she has a little lamb. You can guess her first name. I think this indicates a future scientist (tests hypothesis). My friend thinks he’s trolling. Thoughts?
