Fredrik Knudsen's video sponsorship put me on to your game

To make it even more convoluted, I could use a screen reader to read the subtitles out to me through some headphones

Is it perverse to watch an audiobook video on YouTube with the subtitles on because you're in a noisy pub and can't hear it?

It seems like the most rube-goldberg way of reading a book

From: Mr. Bug Goes to Town (1941), dir. Dave Fleischer, Fleischer Studios

This film was a key reference point for Hayao Miyazaki, and a favorite film of his around the time of The Castle of Cagliostro

The Adventures of Prince Achmed is the earliest animated feature that survives today. It's from 1926 -- and it's a masterpiece.

Director Lotte Reiniger and her team set out to make a movie unlike any other, and they succeeded. We tell the story:

I'd love to have this as a poster

I bought this before Dick Jones was outed as working with Clarence Boddicker.

It does once you realise everyone is an impostor. I used to assume that people in positions of authority, senority and power got there due to a special level of wisdom, intelligence, character and diligence. The past 8 years have blown away that delusion.

That's bloody impressive

A promotional still of David Suchet as Agatha Christie's Poirot, with (I think) an anti-aircraft gun peeking over his shoulder.

My favourite episode is the one where Poirot gets a shoulder-mounted cannon.

I don't really want to engage with a post-hoc rationalisation of calling for my public beheading, by someone who knows nothing about me. You should be trying to engage with what I'm saying, not the other way round, because all you're doing is arrogantly moralising from a position of total ignorance.

I didn't complain about having to pay them. I explained that I was unable to pay them what I'd like to, and pointed out that I work for less than minimum wage so that they can keep their jobs, to counter the claim that I must be a selfish psychopath that's exploiting other people.

I don't really know what a more appropriate word would be to use. Operator? Really I just work for myself and have to pay people to help me when the workload gets too much. "Owning" the business just means I'm ultimately responsible for everything.

So I heard from a reliable source you like girls with mullets?

Oh that's a shame. That's the first time I've encountered twitter-style nastiness on bluesky.

I've been a small business owner for twenty years. All my staff but one get minimum wage. I get less than minimum wage. My staff have always been consistently paid more than I have. I am not a psychopath. There's just not enough money around to pay anyone properly.
