People will tell you that, in life, you have to choose between a grand piano and a dojo. Those people are quitters.

@catsofyore.bsky.social I am endlessly charmed by the fact that in the 1920s and 30s my family was taking almost as many photos of their cats as I do now with a smartphone

Epic Games sent a DMCA notice to my online stores for my geology-themed design involving a crossed pickaxe and rock hammer that said "PICKS...or it didn't happen" because they asserted that Epic owned all rights to artwork/mention of pickaxes, right before an SVP annual conference. Eric cost me $$$

Once again, my pledge to you, faithful voters - when I become all powerful ruler of the BBC, I WILL prune the Strictly results show to fifteen minutes. In, dance, done. If you're wondering what I'm planning to do with the half hour space that opens up in the schedules, I have one word. Cartoons.

While not a medical doctor, Dr Pepper does hold a PhD in neoclassical literary theory and thus deserves our respect

One of the best worldbuilding guides you can read is Tolkien's notes on translation, where he talks about the fact that *everything* you write is in practice being translated into English; is is no more anachronistic to use the word "September" than it is use the word "sword" or "house" or "hello".

I just don't need to know what the Telegraph has written about Dungeons & Dragons. It's a newspaper for people who are frightened of samosas.

For the past six weeks, an AI Facebook account has been pulling my history posts on Instagram and slopping out new captions, so I’ve been feeding it poison pills and its followers are having meltdowns in the comments. It’s been pretty spectacular.

The X-Files is genuinely a timelessly good show, because when not focusing on overarching conspiracy plot, they would really just focus on a single concept and quite crucially, it would cast an incredible actor to center the episode around who would be utterly god damn captivating to watch.

Yes Madam's opening 5-10 minutes is a better action movie than 95% of action movies you've ever seen in your entire life.

Now I heard there was a tiny box
Engraved with names like Minecraft Notch
And Brian Fargo and FourZeroTwo, yeah
But though it promised games for free
And mobile ports on your TV
It's a cold and it's a broken Founders' Ouya

JK Rowling got a full *decade* of press as a martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe by people online) and meanwhile nobody considers it very interesting that a prominent left wing author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics

Conversely, deeply stupid contributions by the right wing must be regarded as good, according to the "unbiased" doctrine

As a consequence of this thread, I've learned Orson Welles felt so bad about people assuming Susan Alexander from Citizen Kane was based on Marion Davies, and the subsequent effect on her reputation, he wrote a foreword for Davies' memoir of her life with Hearst stressing that she wasn't.
