in a society so class-obsessed, too... it's the big donut hole at the center of everything but somehow I can't think of a single novel in the last 15 years that had anything to say about the monarchy? weak shit imho

there are far more what I would term "emperor novels" in Japan (those dealing with the role in political/historical/symbolic terms) than in Britain... by comparison the monarchy hardly seems a matter of interest to modern British writers. what's up with that, man

maybe one day it'll really happen

I liked it very much, far more than I anticipated on a similar basis

I recommend One Battle After Another but I must warn you, do not go if you're slightly hungover. Truly thought I was going to lose it during the dips

first time on the Elizabeth line. by what magic does it smell like a car wash

this is the "in theory" part 😭

in theory you can send them in to be corrected in the next edition

Treat yourself!

feebly discussing winter survival plans fully knowing the darkness has already consumed me

congratulations to all the losers and haters who couldn't wait for it to be autumn

pineapple on pizza gets too much of the smoke that barbecue sauce deserves

straight up dashed the barely formed thought "dudes rock" in an instant

closely followed by another man who shouted "E, E, EDL!" at me :(

mid-70s man on a mobility scooter blasting "The Only Way is Up" as he bombs through Walthamstow

"It just could not happen in Britain" is a phrase that maybe the whole country ought to meditate on for a good long time

at cafe oto listening to what I would generously describe as feel-bad whale noises

not to get too sappy but when I see your face I see how much happier and at ease with yourself you are now and that is the very best

yeah, looking at his melted face just makes me feel self-conscious and then remember that it really could be worse in every single possible way. the effects of transphobia on the mind are clear but we need a study on the physical effects. get the calipers ready

idk how he simultaneously makes me feel better and also worse about having one eye bigger than the other. just glad to have nothing else in common

would love the dopamine of receiving finished copies without the work of going through edits

someone on the other place said if you namesearch here you'll see people calling you deranged. when I did it I saw at least one person calling me a genius. skill issues everywhere

experienced an odd error w/ this app: every time I tried to do anything, it opened a youtube of Kate Bush doing Running Up That Hill on Wogan. brought back fond memories of the era in college when my computer would, at random times, play Big Pimpin'. loved to be big pimpin' in my syntax lectures

middle-class English people really need to take the "stop saying everything you don't like is American" challenge. there's a place with a troubling obsession with flags much closer to home

since they're going to profit off of suffering regardless, that's one job I'd rather the machines take

no intelligence, no peace! fuck the techies!

I'm willing to take the risk. feels like when I saw a post asking how atheists deal with their fear of hell... baby...

early on in college as a linguistics student I remember asking a professor what computational linguistics was and when she said "large language models" I immediately decided no. I've been in the hater game on this since 2006. nothing can turn me

non-controversial opinion: I want "AI" to suffer
