ChatGPT: you’re right you’re so much smarter than him. He’s so schlubby and you’re so suave. Columbo will never catch you.

Chocolate Easter bunny with a chocolate Alien xenomorph face hugger attached, and a second chocolate xenomorph egg is still unopened. Today is not going to end well.

Book cover art in the style of Old Hollywood Era yellow movie poster. The title says "When I'm in your arms" by Sarah Wallace & S.O. Callahan Two men in elegant suits perform a dance move when one holds another in his hands.

It seems like a lot of people start hopelessly floundering at 1200—that’s where I got stuck—and I suspect that’s because 1200 is where the *characters* start majorly changing beyond what context clues can really help with

Buckingham Palace has a long and ruthless tradition of distancing itself from scandal. Nothing matters to the Firm more than the perpetuation of the Firm itself.

Be wary of stories that seek to put Charles and Co in a good light because a lot of it is nothing more than crisis and PR management.

#IndustryHBO S4 Episode 6 stands out as the best episode of the entire series so far. It’s almost written to be a standalone film, with each character reaching a peak moment.

Right, another key thing that historians do is working with important records that have not been digitized.

And the vast majority of the world’s records *have not been digitized* and thus do not exist in any format that LLMs/AI can work with.

A version of the Wes Streeting 'I never knew Peter Mandelson well' opinion column. Photo is of my cat. Text reads: Ignore the smears: I was never on the kitchen table, and I am deeply concerned about the cultural moral failing of going on tables. I was only in the kitchen in the 1st place to prevent other cats from jumping on the table. That sound you heard was me doing something else. An additional 'linked' headline reads: Scientists study reappearance of mysterious cat-like wet footprints on surface of table, despite assurances that cat ‘knows it’s naughty’ to go on the table.

a meme — the top says “My dog just got a haircut and now he looks like he gave up drinking and got his life together” and underneath are 2 photos of a dog (a schnauzer i think?). on the left, the “before,” he’s scruffy and in need of a haircut and a bath. and on the right, the “after,” he’s clean and clipped and wearing a jaunty red bow tie and looking very dapper indeed.

i don’t know if it’s the jaunty bow tie or what but i cannot stop laughing at this

The Success of Heated Rivalry Should Not Be a Surprise — Fansplaining Romancelandia understands why the show is a hit. Why is it so hard for Hollywood to get the message?

"The real question here isn’t why Heated Rivalry is a hit—it’s why this kind of romance series is so rare in the first place."

The great @gavia.bsky.social returns to Fansplaining with an incisive piece on Heated Rivalry, romance publishing, and the TV industry. Read or listen to an audio version:

For decades, the American right has insisted that people need firearms for personal safety and to resist potential government tyranny.

And then LBC just had some US general on who suggested that if a demonstrator has a gun with them, they're essentially a legitimate target.

Which is it?

We’ve been in an alternate timeline ever since the flood, when they warped time and believability. Now they have to marry up this “imagined” investigation with a real one and try to make it make sense somehow. It never really works when they try to move outside a daily 15 minute format. #thearchers
