Low stats on this week's newsletter call for desperate measures: spoilers! In this you'll read about how a child did a poo right in front of me on a potty inside a major UK supermarket, next to the pastries (also how my dad and brother are lion tamers). RTs welcome! lowpolymess.com/30-the-great...

Amazing how I identify with the general vibes of Frasier in a way I never did with like Friends, or any show about people in their 20s. I was born to be middle aged.

From over on FB - north Kerry in all its glory (that’s Carrigafoyle, the castle was my childhood playground when visiting my grandparents in Ballylongford, and still my favourite place in this world) 💚💛 #northkerry #speirghorm

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

Who doesn't want to be remembered as being fucking awesome? Maybe it's a very "online creative" mindset, but I think about my legacy a lot. Probably too much. I'm not really as bigheaded as this article makes me look (or am I?) lowpolymess.com/29-am-i-grea...

Women’s Weird, two anthologies of strange stories 1890-1937, edited and ably introduced by Melissa Edmundson are a rich selection that’s well worth finding. Sadly their publisher Handheld Press closed down (small publishers—love them or lose them). (Contents in Alt text).

from 2001. no one’s doing product testimonials like this anymore. t.co/PEswCtbEZz

Toyota's unease at being associated with the Taliban and Al Qaeda is evident. In its September statement, the company said,
'Toyota does not have a sales or distribution channel in Afghanistan, and we do not export vehicles to that country."
Somewhat less laconic was Wade Hoyt, Toyota's spokesman in New York, who put the best corporate spin on the situation this week.
"It is not our proudest product placement," he said. "But it shows that the Taliban are looking for the same qualities as any truck buyer: durability and reliability."
