Uninstalling ChatGPT and using Claude isn’t the flex you think it is. It’s still AI, it’s still slop, you’re still outsourcing your brain.

No new words today, but I solved a knotty character/plot problem during my child's swimming lesson

Now I get to write awkward romance in my next writing session, and my child hopefully won't drown if he falls into a large body of water

Omg I had imagined this meant up to 150k per library... Which is actually less ridiculous than the truth

"I am not sure what evidence the hon. Member is referring to or to what it testifies. Speaking with what limited knowledge is available to me as a professional man in this field, I may say that this is one long string of claptrap." Quoted in Peter Parker (ed.), Some Men in London volume 2, page 284.

A little over 60 years ago, the UK's parliament was debating the then Sexual Offences Bill, which was to decriminalise male homosexuality.

This, from David Kerr MP (Labour), who was a doctor, could be used today against way too many people yapping about LGBTQIA people, especially trans people:

I need to do that too, but instead it will all sit in my hall for another week making it impossible to open the shoe cupboard...

On the bright side, I rewrote a chapter of a murderously fun little novel ready for critique

So who needs sleep anyway, right?

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

No exaggeration, the vote split on this poll is hysterical.

Want to Know If Glassholes Are Using Smart Glasses Near You? There's an App for That The app called Nearby Glasses scans Bluetooth signals to detect and alert users when the camera-equipped glasses are nearby.

"Glasshole" is correct.

Anyone wearing these should be made to feel immediately completely unwelcome in any public space they enter.

They're invasive weirdos who have decided to make their very existence in that space a privacy threat to everyone else in it.
