I love TNG and this specific episode, but it is fiction. We have not and may not ever create anything with Data's self-evident capacity for independent consciousness.

Why did these never catch on, they look so practical?

Good job I don't give a shit about offering value to the nation.

He did do probably upwards of ten thousand Nancys to be fair.

Okay, I checked the Tagalog translation and apparently I don't live in a yellow submarine.

Very awkward proportions in both formats. If it were another company I'd say I don't think it'll take off, but this is Apple so I'm sure they'll sell nine billion units.

Was toothpaste rolling off the brush a big issue at the time? We seem to have abandoned the ribbon nozzle, but I suppose toothbrush design and toothpaste formulation have changed significantly in the meantime.

On this day in 1663, Samuel Pepys was horrified by the lack of scrutiny and the embezzlement potential of government procurement. Just sayin'.

Do I live in a yellow submarine or not? If only the English language had clusivity, confusion about issues like this could be avoided.

I wonder what Sam would make of HS2 and PFIs.

What on earth about this deserves a block?

This is fantastic. RIP your hands, but worth it imo.

On his LinkedIn profile he describes himself as an 'AI specialist and MMA fighter'. I guess outsourcing his brain to a server farm would explain this.

I'd be curious to see polling of previous NYC mayors. I searched briefly but couldn't find any. I reckon LaGuardia may have been as popular at times.

If bosons have hands, what are the hands made of?

You're so right. It's not just a chair - it's a whole new way of engaging with sitting.

Kinda worried what happens if I don't do the survey...

You should tell Ernie, who clearly didn't know this and wasn't making a joke.

Stunning. Can we bring him back from the dead to do a tarot deck?

Bess deserved better than you, Sam.

Very relatable. :p I sometimes find that it helps me to have a strategy that accommodates my weirdnesses in a contained way but it's not always easy to apply that.

RiverTriesToMakeStuff @rivertries.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Is there an approach that might allow you to keep experimenting with approaches in a way which is more manageable? Thinking of a few different strategies, trying all of them for a shorter period, then sticking with the best one?

I'd trust this guy to be a subject matter expert on evil.

Very good chance that you could buy a Plymouth Satellite... Of love.

I love how panel 3 is completely superfluous. Also where did these dogs come from? Will we ever see them again? Are they characters now?

This must be where Dolly Parton worked.

Ooh, interesting idea. Maybe you're driving a fire truck and have to put out hot spots but can only drive on cold spots or something like that. You use the hose to create a path for yourself as well as putting the fires out.
