Feels like the arc of history bends inexorably towards wherever it looks to be going right now. When progressive ideas were in ascendancy it was easy to imagine we were taking the next steps in a great lineage of liberation, nowadays it seems like the yoke of capital has only ever gotten heavier.

I started bringing a speaker to work months ago specifically so I wouldn't have to listen to Irish radio playing Choosin' Texas for the 500th time so I am unsure why it's only now become a focus of ire

Crashout Event Horizon: Where an argument with the internet stops being a one time thing and gets internalised as a lifelong crusade. Scholars differ on how long a poster must be crashing out for before passing the CEH: five days? two weeks? Each new crashout provides valuable data to analyse

The creators of the 2010s ITV crime procedural "Scott & Bailey" were cowards. Motte is a perfectly cromulent surname for a (fictional) British person to have, there was no need to disguise their title pun so sheepishly.

The sandwich place near work are front running their new menu with me whenever I order, "Next week" they say, "We think you're really gonna love it". Is this what Ted Danson feels like all the time?

Was meeting a friend for a drink in town last night when another friend texts and tells us to come to McNeill's of Capel Street. Walk in and he's at the bar drinking with Patrick Warburton. Took everything I had to resist talking his ear off about Venture Bros.

Couldn't help but notice the hill-side dew-pearled this morning, looked up and there was a lark on the wing, had to be sure so, I looked at a nearby thorn and 'lo and behold there was a snail on it. You know what that means?

Imagine you're a struggling DJ, in moment of desperation you take a gig at a 6am coffee rave, in the middle of your set of corporate mandated sauceless ambient a 40 year old junior account exec bumps into your beat up CDJ-400s and the Danganronpa OST cues up.

Classic Dumbass O'Brien, anyone who uses them knows our services are massively oversubscribed, instead of funding expansion they're trying to kill demand. Ignoring that demand for public transport is inelastic so now people will be doubly pissed off paying more for the same crap service #Spéirghorm

C-3PO isn't real and nothing indicates that the advancement of LLMs will produce anything like him, unless someone wastes a lot of time and money attempting to kludge together a weak facsimile. He is, ironically, a perfect example of the kind of recombinant idea an LLM would never produce...

Barbers are like takeaways where the more run down looking and out of the way they are the better the experience. Just got my head shaved whilst staring at a hand painted last supper style collage of the casts of The Sopranos, Scarface, The Godfather and Goodfellas. 10/10 no notes.

out it goes: my long post about Rachel Hope Cleves's claim that Tillie Walden plagiarised her book. It's long because Cleves's claim is much, much more bizarre than it looked on first reading. I'm not going to bury the lede here. Cleves's claim does not hold up. buttondown.com/thene/archiv...

stick a pin in this metaphor

…because these covers are a microcosm of the entire conflict; Walden's book is mostly built on writing and other objects left by Sylvia Drake, Charity Bryant, and others. Her work includes many elements from these records that Cleves does not refer to in her book, and many of her interpretations of those records are different from Cleves's interpretations, often intentionally so. In addition to her historical basis, Walden's book includes fictional dialogue and story elements that are original to her work, some of which are inspired by Walden's own life.
