I'd say it's more like a wonky carrot, but whatever sells, I suppose

You look after that brain, now. It's a good one.

Oh, how we suffer being part of the 96% minority of non-Americans

That's been my problem, especially with Japanese nibs. I'd like a finer nib but they tend to run a bit scratchy. This might be my answer.

I have one with a medium nib, and I think I'll marry it. But maybe I want a mistress too...?

Netflix set to make a romance series set during the National Musical Chairs Championships. It will be called Seated Rivalry.

Given his habit of renaming things, he should call it 'American Intelligence'. Grandiose, baseless and likely to be dead within in a week.

I was served up a charming video about otters putting away their toys, and my first thought: is this ai? I hate this feeling. If anyone wants me, I'll be back in the cave.

There's plenty of research funding, too

Dogs in pubs, bears running the post office, cats driving taxis, foxes being mayors and worms driving apples .... this is the Busy Town future I'll vote for

“They were careless people, Frankenstein and Igor — they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast laboratory or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

In a recent local election, one candidate's brochure was just pictures of him pointing to 'problem areas' in the town. He was a large man with an apparently very recent acquaintance with the concept of suit and tie, pointing at a pothole, an overgrown shrub, a rubbish bin, etc. Sadly, he didn't win.

Oh, it was. Initially horrifying, but once we saw that the dogs were controlled, hilarious as we watched a dozen adults and children chase a guinea pig around a tennis court. All eyes on the prize, and not all of the eyes were human

I was once at a fete in a small farming community, where there was a 'pet parade'. Because farming, there were 25 border collies. But also one terrified guinea pig. GP escaped and, as one, 25 well-trained dogs snapped to attention, trembling for a command ... GP was returned safely and won the day.

you can get one of these guys to add to the gravitas, but it does seem a tad too much.

I treated myself to a Custom 823 when I graduated. It's called self-care.

Here in the antipodes, a couple of years ago, there was an art festival that featured a giant inflatable primate attached to buildings. Locals called it Big Mungy (i.e. 'monkey').

"It makes me sad to think about a young person who might never cultivate the process of self-discovery that takes place in writing, which is inseparable from thinking—at least the kind of thinking that we associate with complex reasoning and self-knowledge." Meghan O’Gieblyn in the NYRB
