It's insane how bad humans are at writhing. Hope I get a looser spine in my next incarnation

I support you but I'm beyond saving. Less than 5% of what I post is factually accurate

Actually those words don't sound the same at all in my accent. Just shameless pandering

I've sold out my principals, as well as other members of faculty

Actually, it's called Rubikscube's creature

Essentially the world entire is abuzz with the scandalous news of a 35-year-old woman releasing songs called stuff like Having Good Sex with My Husband.

There's already a little device that tells me obsequious lies inside my brain

It's so great that after 40 years of online communities their owners still start talking like George Smiley when they get annoyed. We're mere architects of a grand system...

My unbelievably high standard for professional ethics is that a journalist presented with half a dozen dismally cheap computer-generated images of women that sort of look like each other should not immediately accept that they're looking at a "digital actress"

Quote from 2011 'Globe and Mail' article on Jane Goodall: "My favourite animal is a dog. I love dogs, not chimps," she declares.

lol

I'd also rate my life's work a solid B-

Screenshot from Wikipedia: "Goodall stated that dogs were her favourite animal.[109]"

Very funny thing to say after devoting 6 decades to a different animal

I'm starting to get really freaked out by how many elemental resistances that palette-swapped version of me they've hired has

Man modern Protestantism is so cool. Thousands of people asking, How should I dress for the Great Tribulation? Is a light sweater OK

You don't hear so much about microplastics these days. I guess we pissed all that stuff away at some point

Frebrile dreams of markup...

Thought some text on here was in italics but it turns out I had a low-grade fever

I'd skipped it too until I read the Kael review where she calls it "cadenced and exotic and deliriously complicated" and thought, Wait, that sounds like it rules

YouTube video by Grindhouse Grooves Exploitation Soundtracks Ennio Morricone - Magic And Ecstasy [Exorcist II: The Heretic OST 1977]

Too weary to find and quote whatever prompt inspired this but The Exorcist II is in fact good and every contemporary review that attempted to wittily make fun of it sounds dumb as fuck

The concerns are justified but you couldn't necessarily tell from the breathlessly scandalised coverage that the phenomenon is automated cybersex of the kind you'd have found on AOL in the 2000s

I guess the interesting thing about the supposedly very lurid AI girlfriend stuff is that what it provides is pretty abstract, basically amateur erotic prose. Which I was always told in publishing doesn't appeal to men but whatever

Stuff that could not possibly hoise me:
- My own petard

Jamping on the frontier

Another thing I'm surprised I put up with when I lived over there is the number of phonemes in "packet of crisps." Repulsively inefficient

Reading an article where a guy is complaining of having to eat increasingly expensive frozen baguettes. Fair point

Bit late in the season for France's yearly general strike but needs must

As is my privilege as a second-language speaker of English I'm switching to a regional variety that doesn't force me to say "maths"

It's true. To me, "Wahoo!" is the unmistakable battle cry of the Bonanza Bros. on the Master System
