That bloke who does that podcast your annoying friend keeps trying to get you to listen to. He/him. Posts every random thought in his head. AuDHD and not many filters. If you're only interested in my podcast you probably don't want to follow.
I've said this before: he's *so* good as Slartibartfast. Can you imagine just walking into a BBC recording studio, being handed a script Douglas Adams had finished typing nine seconds ago, all your lines being nonsense exposition about mice, with two (2) jokes in total, and just landing it?

We used to have proper magazine journalism in the USA
Looks like she's based in the US. We need someone who can be in London on the 13th and 14th of next month...
John Higgs has suggested it's Colonel Smithers, on his way to brief Bond.
I often point out that this scene was filmed right around Richard Vernon's thirty-ninth birthday...
The three ages of British nerd are 'that Top of the Pops set dressing has been in Doctor Who', 'on a rewatch, The Tomorrow People is shite', and 'oh God, I'm older than Richard Vernon was when he played Slartibartfast, which tbf is younger than you'd think'.
It used to be a LiveJournal and Tumblr thing, I've been using it off and on (mostly on microblogging sites where space is at a premium) for about twenty years -- as did my American ex. It only seems recently to have become something people take offence at, and therefore caused the "triggered" stuff
As an aside, this mindset is often described as "lean" because you skip the "waste" of low fidelity work.
Buddy, no. Low fidelity is not the waste. Work in low fidelity is what prevents the high detail work from being waste. Lean is when cheap-as-free sketches are all you need to avoid that waste.
The people who mocked you as a child for thinking your stuffed animals had personalities are trying to convince us that the computer they use for therapy and revenge porn has anxiety now.
I love watching people use LLMs in public. They’ll reply to a breaking news article and say “@grok is this true?” Babe where do you think it’s about to pull its answer from
Mind the oranges Marlon!
The word count of the @blackarchive.co.uks is 20-40k, another reason they are so good :)
Three rings for Elven kings under the sky
Seven for the Dwarf Lords in their halls of stone
Nine for mortal men doomed to die
None for the Hobbits because I totally forgot those guys. That’s never gonna work out badly for me.
Also none for the orcs because fuck ‘em. I own them already.
I just realized after years of listening to it that despite the very Slade title of “Take Me Bak ‘ome,” Noddy Holder actually does vocalize the unwritten “H” in the song’s title. I have no idea what to do with this information.

Last year I just walked into Costco and asked for a measles booster. I told the pharmacist I was unsure if I was ever given two doses, and she just gave me the shot and my insurance paid for it. I don't know, man, I don't see any downside to getting a booster.
A screenshot of a Google search for "As A Kang Should Be" "reviews" that reads as follows: "As A Kang Should Be by Dale Smith is a highly acclaimed, "brilliant" Doctor Who spin-off novel set in the Paradise Towers universe. Reviews praise it as an original, deeply emotional, and "necessary" piece of fiction. It has received glowing praise for its unique take on the characters, with one reviewer calling it "highly recommended". Key Takeaways from Reviews Highly Recommended: Described as one of the most original pieces of Doctor Who related fiction. Emotional Impact: The story is deeply engaging, with at least one report of it moving a reader to tears." Note that the AI seems to have gain this opinion primarily from reading the reviews page on my website, which exists primarily to sell the book to potential readers. So the book is declared to be "critically acclaimed" because its writer has highlighted a number of reviews that say it's worth you buying. That reader who was reported to be "moved to tears"? My daughter, as is made clear on the page in question. I'm sure nobody could ever find a way of gaming this system.
Maybe I had this AI thing all wrong.

Basically if you like the Beach Boys' vocals but wish they sang the Great American Songbook with lush orchestral backing, yes. Otherwise no.
Only just saw this from nearly a year ago. The replies very much illustrate the point made...
It is, in fact, quite easy to get a skull-and-bones tattoo that isn't a Nazi tattoo!

Please don't. The Times would have to massively expand production to make room for all the weekly columns they give them.
Progressives in the UK who still haven't got the message: the TERFs are now trying to bankrupt the Greens through repeated litigation, with a fresh round dropping now they're demonstrably a credible choice in elections.
Join the dots. "Feminist" transphobia is a vassal of fascism.
Instead "Boomer," I should have said, "Jann Wenner."
One of the unmissable themes of A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs is “No, Boomer, you seriously don’t get how much you missed the massive influence of The Beach Boys.”
But I’m still surprised by how stunned I am to discover Dennis Wilson as an artist. The man could crush you with a chorus.
