There are worse people out there, but there are many better, so I just have to keep trying. Tolerant and accepting of anything but intolerance. I don’t get the whole Taylor Swift thing, but that’s fine.

Them: “did you get a new bag?” Me: “yeah, the old one was worn out and had holes in it; it became unusable “ Them: “so you threw out the old one?” Me: “What, and lose a perfectly good bag!?”

peanuts is a cool comic cause the babies are always unsupervised in a dirt field saying stuff like "suffering is the cantaloupe in the fruit salad of life" and then the dog does a skateboard trick

A: "I see Mrs. O'Reilly from the Close has died." B: "Has she?" A: (inhaling) "yeah, yeah" B: "Wasn't she the one who's brother never married. Lived all his life with a gentleman friend?" A: "Lovely man. Anyway, the mass is in Whitehall" B: "Fr. Clarke? He does a lovely mass. Is she being lain out"

Has anyone costed asking billionaires how much money they'd be willing to spend on lobbying against wealth tax, and taking that as a wealth tax instead?

Throughout my life, I've read the phrase "gibbous moon". And I've no idea what the word "gibbous" means. And for some reason, I have absolutely no interest in finding out! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My amazement at how much bravery this girl, and others like her, show on a daily basis, is matched by my sadness that their bravery is required. I hope she feels loved.

If Tech Bros want AI to help raise their children, and pick presents for their wives and families, and write and play new music, and summarize book plots, and plan holidays, and write emails, and write code, and prepare business plans, and collate art, and order shopping, what do they want to do?

Regardless of everything else, I’m not really happy at Heimir Hallgrimson’s comment that he doesnt really talk to the goalkeepers, because they have their own coach.

Remember when I was about 10, playing football in the park, and it suddenly got so cold we had to stop playing and improvise to keep warm. Childhood memories; goalposts for jumpers.

I honestly don't get it. The AI CEO's say nothing these days apart from "AI will maybe kill us all", or "AI will make us less intelligent", or "AI will be impossible tom control" and still expect us to be okay with that. I long for the days of "AI will figure out a way for itself to pay off!"

In the 1930's, there was a Polish railcar called the Luxtorpeda, and I'd like to know the word for the feeling I have. I'm calling it "retrofuturenostalgia", but look at this thing!

I have been thinking about Bullshit, in its official categorisation. In his short and easy essay “On Bullshit”, the euphoniously-named American philosopher Harry J. Frankfurt posited a person could say things while neither caring if it was true or lies. dn721601.ca.archive.org/0/items/on-b...

Someone designed this. Then someone approved it for production. Then someone printed it. Then someone bought it and attached it to their car.
Decal on the back of a van or truck window that shows a heart and a bone with words that read, "I my dog". 

Does the owner love the dog or does the owner bone the dog?

I was staring for hours, trying to think of a clever response to a Bluesky user I really like. He made a funny comment about fire-fighters, and I just couldn't leave it, so that's what I've been doing. Anyway, to the happy couple!

Took this photo on holiday. Zero getting in the right position. Just turned around, and saw the angles were right, and whipped out the old phone.
A beach on the Polish coast. The sun, clouds and the trees behind the beach are all reflected in a calm sea. It’s very symmetrical.

Alt text for photo: my dog Sherlock, lying on his back, bent in half to fit in a corner. Literally the opposite of how you imagine a dog lying comfortably. He’s looking at the camera with a look, hopefully of shame at being caught in this position.
