Star Trek Enterprise scene. We're on ship and looking at Malcolm Reed in uniform, sitting,  expounding, and probably eating pineapple held just off camera. Closed caption reads, "I'm afraid I don't much follow football, sir."

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from narrating romance books in the past couple years, it’s that romance fans are loyal, particular, and far smarter than anyone thinks. This is going to feel like they’re being condescended to, because it is. I don’t think they’ll take it well! And they shouldn’t!

This document appears to have been removed from the Epstein records. I wonder why. Did Woody Allen complain?

45 minutes is actually an incredibly inefficient time to steal someone else's work and pretend it's your book - some shoplifters manage that in under a minute, because books are rarely security tagged.

β€œIn 1404, King Taejong fell from his horse during a hunting expedition. Embarrassed, looking to his left and right, he commanded, β€œDo not let the historian find out about this.” To his disappointment, the historian accompanying the hunting party included these words in the annals, in addition to a description of the king’s fall.β€œ

LMFAOOOOOO rip to that guy

I'm just staggered that anyone thinks their 'strategy' won them the election, the last few years of Tory clowncar did that.

I hope folks grasp the fascistic resentment underpinning this shit, and the fact that there is nothing these AI robber barons would like more than to automate human creativity because they resent it and wish to devalue, own, and control it and us.

Triple tap, by the way, refers to the fact that there were three waves of killings, in this case *at a hospital.* The initial murders and two waves of energy responders.

As depraved as it gets. Willful murder of health care workers.

There is simply no moral argument for allowing war criminals to compete at the Olympics.

β€œBlack” is being flagged as a potentially prohibited word violating anti-DEI law at multiple Florida Universities. My interview this week with @grundrza.bsky.social documents his event being flagged because the flyer said β€œBlack.”

Racial authoritarianism is here, it’s just unequally distributed.

A guy on the crew of a Muppet movie at Pinewood told me the puppeteers got to the set early and set up underneath the raised set, so when the crew started turning up the puppets would greet them & chat, and it was the most natural thing in the world - "Hey,Charlie", "Oh hi, Gonzo"
