Pretty sinister emphasis for those of us who still interpret ultimate as last, rather than greatest

Can anyone remember what this excellent bit of trolling is from? It was on Arxiv when I snipped it but it must have been published by now. Something about twisted de Rahm spaces I seem to recall

I'm enjoying the tv show as a lightweight thriller, but it takes an effort not to constantly ask "who made that?" "where does the food come from?" "where does the waste go?" etc

This is quite cool. My university is the first organisation in the world to force Microsoft to allow us to turn off copilot summaries in Word 365, after a backlash against it from staff (including, very vocally, me). That cannot have been easy for our heroic IT people so hats very much off to them!

"My wife, I think I'll keep her."
For a long time, I thought that it was Bloom County that lambasted Geritol for its "My wife, I think I'll keep her." commercial as the motive for Mrs. Whacker chopping up her husband. But it turns out that it was Doonesbury. Today's Doonesbury rerun is that delightful snark, though not unhinged…

If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended, That you have but slumber’d here While these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme No more yielding but a dream, Gentles, do not reprehend: if you pardon, we will mend; And, as I am an honest Puck, Show is over, off you fuck.

At this point, though, if someone contends they've never even heard of "Please don't throw me to the Christians" or Barrett, it may say more about the listener than the song. Or, for that matter, what they want to project to the world.

Every time someone links to this film, I have to repost it. It's one of the most significant bits of British 20th century art. Everything about it is incredible. Groundbreaking music production by Daphne Oram. Amazing camera work by Wolfgang Suschitzky (who later filmed Get Carter).-
