An alert dialog that states, “Can’t push objects off the sheet”
I have no idea what this Microsoft Excel error message means, but I’m pretty sure it’s aimed at cats.

A drawing by Moose of a woman twitching her curtains and saying, “I see the Renegade Master’s back once again with the ill behaviour”
It takes pride of place in my office, and it still makes me laugh every time I look at it!

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?
If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Companies should be clambering over one another to attain this prestigious accreditation. Companies that have gone all-in on Al will have to bear the cost of having it removed, like asbestos.
Corner of the front cover of Sarah Hall’s new novel Helm, which shows a circular wordmark reading ‘Human Written’.
Tried to quote tweet this but couldn’t - so sharing in screenshot. Faber has introduced a ‘Human Written’ maker’s mark for Sarah Hall’s new book, with Hall’s US publisher following suit. I think others are planning to do it too.

My favourite Brian Wilson story was when Bono kneeled at his feet backstage & waxed lyrical about his influence, the power of music, transcendent, etc.
After several minutes of this he interrupted Bono by saying “Say, could you go get me a Coke?”
(In fairness, he apparently did)

Spotted that a neighbour’s car was a brand new A-reg (yes, this was a long time ago), ran towards his driveway, tripped on kerb, broke leg, found myself in hospital for a week.
