She/her or they/them. In: Books, films, dogs, telly, roof gulls, SRK, Stardew Valley. Out: AI shite, billionaires, images with no alt text. Profile image is SRK on the phone, wearing a cute pink jumper.
Also, in Irish the word for jumper is geansaí, which presumably comes from Guernsey.
I used to feel bad for Star Wars droids. People were so mean to them when they’re just lil guys doing their best, doing what they’re programmed to do.
Now that we have genAI, I get it. If ChatGPT had a metal body and followed me around, I’d probably try to nudge it into a ditch.
Today I learned from Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont-Spelling Bee that Australian rules football jerseys are called guernseys. An archaic good time!
Love this
The flightless birds that are still here are fighting for their lives, and these chumps want to add in an extra one?
This is like when RuPaul invites all the eliminated queens back.

I couldn't really tell if that bit was supposed to be funny or not. It was a bit silly. I think that's my problem with a lot of films nowadays. They're tonally all over the place. Incredibly gruesome and gory violence, then ha ha, a few quips to make it all OK? It's not my favourite.
New York New York has just started on BBC 2. It's never on!
Argh, my heart.
It is pleasant to have visitors, and it is pleasant when your visitors leave and you have a clean house and cake.
This is it. It's shocking that there hasn't been one year that the leader of our country hasn't stayed home for our national holiday.
I love it when a museum has an exhibit that's just a lil guy
World rugby: Okay. So you can win this entire tournament
Ireland: Okay, great!
World rugby: as long as England win their game.
Ireland:...
World Rugby: So obviously you would want England to-
Ireland: -Shush I'm thinking.
So this is where we are ....
A genocide enabler & a rapist is a "gracious and courteous host"
The most helpful any everyday technology has ever been is GMail's "You wrote 'Attached is' but no files are attached." reminder and I don't need any tech to be more intelligent than that.
The latest White House thinking on the Strait of Hormuz.
Nothing would reassure me more that I am on the right side of history - and a very normal human being to boot - than Louis Theroux asking me to be interviewed for his new documentary.
Honestly, the White House visit is starting to feel like a ritualistic humiliation to remind us who's really in charge of our country.
Yep. We persevered, but even Ralph Fiennes singing Girls on Film couldn’t unturn my stomach. Just an unnecessarily nasty film.
Ewwww.
Unlike everyone else (it seems), I did not care for The Bone Temple. All it really did was turn my stomach.
At what point does 'pragmatism' become complicity with illegal wars of aggression, genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and war crimes like bombing 185 people, mostly children, to death in a primary school?

One of my Instagram pleasures used to be scrolling pictures of pretty people on the Vanity Fair account, but I just had to block them because they co-hosted a party with the pervert glasses, and used the pervert glasses to photograph it.
He wouldn’t enjoy that.
Oh, he's a very tufty boy.
I've had them a couple of times as Christmas bonuses from clients. I usually just gave them away to a charity, which I know is mean because it just punts the problem of spending them on to someone else, but at least they're more likely to get spent that way.
MAN WHO FELL IN LOVE WITH AN ANT: Where do you want to go to eat tonight babe?
ANT: (secretes communicative pheromones from glands on abdomen)
MAN: I don't know what that means. I am just a human man.
ANT: (secretes more)
MAN: I guess we can just share a smooshed cupcake on the floor again.
