We're watching Pride & Prejudice - the Jennifer Ehle/Colin Firth one, of course - and though we must have seen it ten times, it STILL gets better with every viewing. Astonishing.

I think the thing I resent most about gen AI- and this is a selfish thing to say but it’s true- is that it’s put an asterix on my sense of wonder. What I mean is that now when I see an amazing or beautiful image I can’t have that initial “wow!” reaction. I doubt. I have to verify. I hate it.

The developers of these square boxes (for sale near us) decided to call the design ‘Icarus’). I’m not sure that’s a good omen for any potential purchasers. Especially in a heatwave. www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/8...

My periodic pedantic reminder: can we remember that 'gift' is a noun and not a verb, please? And 'gifted' is an adjective describing a person. Thank you for your attention.

Pullback Drive xkcd.com/3244/

Comic. [Person 1 with short hair gestures to car while talking to Person 2.] PERSON 1: You won’t have to worry about gas pries *or* electricity prices with our new pullback drive model. At the factory, we put the car on the ground and tow it all the way backward until it starts clicking. To drive forward, you just release the brake and it goes.

We should legislate identity portability for email addresses. We have it for phone numbers, where the technical challenge was much greater. We should have it for email, too.
