Chris Dixon posted this on LI and I had to share it here. It’s just too good, the @jonronson.bsky.social twist is superb…

For those in England & Wales who don’t get them on the NHS: private flu & covid jabs are available from today. I’ve just had both at my local pharmacy. £115 for the pair. Yes, that’s expensive, but if you’re a freelancer & don’t get sick pay it’s probably a lot cheaper than taking time off.

We shouldn't have a Quiet Carriage on the train. We should have a NoisyCcarriage. If you want to watch or listen to the phone without headphones, or have loud and never-ending conversations, you go and sit in the Noisy Carriage. The rest of the train is de facto Quiet. Who's with me?

My take is we need to get all these comedians off their bloody podcasts for six months so they can write some 'perfectly serviceable sitcoms'. We don't need any more insights into what cake they like best.

A reminder for book designers. The job of a spine is to be noticable, interesting and legible in a bookshop. The job of a cover is to be identifiable when someone cool is reading the book further down the carriage from you the tube.

in your next zoom interview have not only a cup of ice coffee but seven or eight different cups of various beverages just off camera and casually drink from each of them throughout the interview the drinks should have fancy straws or colorful parasols or large pieces of fruit on the edge of the cup

One of Pope Leo's predecessors is the reason Stollen even exists...   In 1491, a papal decree by Pope Innocent VIII permitted Dresdenders to use butter in their pre-Christmas baking, thus transforming a simple fasting pastry into the buttery Christmas delicacy enjoyed today.

You’re right—that plane shouldn’t have gone there. That’s my fault, and I should have made sure there wasn’t a terminal in the landing path. Would you like me to call emergency services, or assist with lining up takeoffs?

Fixed that story about Sir Jim Ratcliffe on the BBC.
Picture of man smiling with tea-mug. Headline reads: "Non-Billionaire who actually lives in the UK and pays its taxes says he has lost confidence in the super-rich", with sub-header: 'One of Britain's taxpayers says he has lost confidence in billionaires, describing them as "on the take"".

I thought Hot Fuzz was a work of fiction but I've woken to a TL full of posts about somewhere called Piddington (which sounds like a quaint English village name made up by a US sitcom writer who's never been to the UK) and apparently not. What a horde of cobwebbed arseholes.
