"i approved new digital ads even though we don't have the budget for them" is not the fundraising flex you think it is

Working on adapting DUNE into a ballet AND an opera

i have a weekly recurring order for those

a Getty Images photo from Alex Pantling shows Arsenal fans at Mansfield Town FA Cup game, with a woman in a leopard print blouse and redlined coat leadings the fans in cheers, both fists clenched

oh wait here we are

Getty wouldn't duplicate the whole picture but it still showed her (they showed her at least twice on TV and she was hyped up)

i have only been following Arsenal the past two seasons but i enjoyed it, it was competitive and that's all right (watch someone yell at me)

Arsenal progress to the quarter-final of the FA Cup and remain in contention for every single competition possible this season.

I'll make a note of that in my Newton MessagePad

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

he's already bored with this

they need to be careful with all that tech, they don't want to attract the Borg

yeah it's a variant on the doomsday clock

i watched THE WAY WE WERE and I have very mixed feelings about The way, the we, and the were

she said "often attributed" good Lord it either is a quote from him or it's not, their stupidity is just numbing

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

I once had a phone meeting with Steven Seagal when he was looking for a coauthor for a thriller novel. I declined.
