A definite sign of ageing is that you cannot impress me with "over 20 years" anymore. Am I expected to think this sauce is ancient, because it's as old as Nelly Furtado's Maneater?

Today I found out that Umberto Eco crafted a version of this meme in the 1980s…

Beware the
alibi of photocopies ! Photocopies are indis-
pensable instruments. They allow you to keep with you a text you have already read in the library, and to take home a text you have not read yet. But a set of photocopies can become an alibi. A student makes hundreds of pages of photocopies and takes them home, and the manual labor he exercises in doing so gives him the impression that he possesses the work. Owning the photocopies exempts the student from actually reading them. This sort of vertigo of accumulation, a neocapitalism of information, happens to many. Defend yourself from this trap: as soon as you have the photocopy, read it and annotate it immediately. If you are not in a great hurry, do not photocopy something new before you own (that is, before you have read and annotated) the previous set of photocopies. There are many things that I do not know because I photocopied a text and then relaxed as if I had read it.

Cage is reaching an age (he's 62) where it's very difficult for a movie star to continue having the same kind of star career Cage has enjoyed for 40 years and a huge part of how he's stayed relevant is exactly this "I want to get with someone doing something cool" attitude

Is there something secretly lucrative about giving a (presumably) chunky advance to an unpopular right wing politician that I don't know about? Or is it just people who work in publishing doing a favour for their mates?

Quite weird to hear BBC News describe Jason Arday as “the black professor accused of plagiarism”. Is every story about a white professor going to include the relevant adjective?

In terms of "fanfic premises where you get a magic sex tattoo on your wrist at 18", I rate this a B-. It's better than your future soulmate's name, but not as good as magically revealing whether you're a dom or sub and sorts you into the matching bom or sub house at BDSM Hogwarts

the only people who could ever earnestly support means testing are people who've never had to be means tested before. it is a humiliating, dehumanizing bureaucratic hostage negotiation with a system whose primary purpose is to *not* provide financial support as often as humanly possible

Any incoming minister for AI should be tasked with replacing a load-bearing spreadsheet from a critical service, to give them the insights into why no one has done it yet. The ministerial equivalent of breaking a horse.

low info voters are constantly being convinced that Republicans have more moderate policies (and Democrats more left wing policies) than they actually do and the mainstream media is a huge accomplice in this effort.

Just got off the phone with a source close to God. He said the Lindsey Graham thing is because the past season of America’s gotten kinda expensive so they needed to cut someone from the budget. They felt he wasn’t doing much for the storyline so they’re just giving him an end of episode mention.
