Is "tech bros would be better if they'd studied some humanities" based on anything real, or is it just cope? Plenty of great artists have also been terrible people.

A comic strip shows two people shaking hands the person in the white shirt says We did it! We finally outlawed all the trans People and drag'queens! Thanks for your help! The other person holds a "Gays Against Drag Queens" sign, smiling. The one holding the sign asks, "Who's next?" The final panel shows concern.

I know that that's almost certainly a stock photo of an attractive model, but my first thought was that if you want to collect scent, you really do need some armpit hair.

This is how you end up with people conflating all discomfort with violence. “I feel bad, so I must have been wronged.” That’s not always true. Sometimes we feel badly, and it’s no one’s fault because we’re people and can’t help our ugly feelings.

Why am I not watching things I know I'd enjoy? I'm several seasons behind on Taskmaster, and have not watched the latest World Chase Tag tournament. (I have, after some delay, caught up on Jet Lag: The Game, at least.)

This is something I wouldn't necessarily expect the average person off the street to understand, but the head of an AI company thinking there are *not enough electrons* is deeply offensive to me as a physics person. All ordinary matter is full of electrons. In metals, they are free to move around.

The Terry Pratchett Estate @terrypratchett.bsky.social · 27/08/2025
On 27th August 2015, The Shepherd's Crown, the last book Sir Terry Pratchett completed before he died, was published. To mark the ten year anniversary, we have a message from Rob Wilkins:
It’s been ten years since the publication of The Shepherd’s Crown, the last book Terry Pratchett completed before he died. Once the spine on this one was cracked, there were no more new Pratchetts to look forward to, and I know a lot of Discworld readers who were, understandably, with that sad reality in mind, reluctant to finish - or even start - this one because it felt like the final closing of a door.

But I also know that Terry wanted his books to be read and enjoyed far more than he wanted them kept on a shelf. And as time passes it becomes ever more apparent how much the Discworld books reward re-visiting, perpetually revealing something new, literary gems Terry had hidden away for a second or third, or even more, re-read. Every Pratchett is to some degree an unread Pratchett, including the ones you’ve already enjoyed and including The Shepherd’s Crown.

So the greatest way to honour Terry’s legacy is to pull that book you’ve been saving off the shelf, make a nice cup of tea and settle down to read the story he wrote for you. Enjoy.

Rob Wilkins

I pay actual money for YouTube Premium, so it's frustrating when it doesn't work. Opening YouTube in flight mode should show me my downloads. Instead, it shows "loading". It may eventually show me my downloads, maybe in thirty seconds, maybe in thirty minutes, maybe never. Depends what mood it's in.

This application form has "expected annual salary" as a required field. I have no idea what to put in it. I was underpaid at my previous job, but would be willing to go for the same again to get employment, but underselling myself may be counterproductive. It's a game I don't know how to play.

I genuinely don't think that Putin has any leverage over Trump. I think Trump is just enough of a pathetic weakling that he'll do anything Putin asks him, because he admires Putin, because he wants to be Putin, because Putin is a dictator and Trump desperately wants to be. (Sad.)

I think it's both depressing and telling how many Americans (including many members of the elite media) view "masculinity" basically in terms of being an abuser and are excited and thrilled to sign up themselves and others for more abuse.

I was blocked by someone while in the middle of writing a reply to their post. Odd. I then realised that my previous post (since deleted) contained a typo which is a slur. From context, clearly not intended as a slur, but perhaps there are some automated scripts which block people who post slurs?

Probably UK S9 is my most rewatched Taskmaster. I also love most of the British panel show circuit: QI, WILTY, 8OO10CDC. For quiz shows, Only Connect is the champion. And, leaving the UK for a moment, there's Jet Lag: The Game, which takes some cues from Taskmaster but is also very different.

During Covid lockdowns, a friend once said on Facebook "I miss your face". It's an evocative line, and one I think might work well (divorced, probably, from its original context) in a poem or song.
