That combination of purple and brown is deeply offensive.

We need to make Phillip Pullman jokes the new Chuck Norris jokes.

Press release from my consulting firm reading: I am aware of the recent trend of CEOs eating their company’s product and posting the video on social media.
I love social media trends, but as the CEO of a conservation policy consulting firm focusing on protecting endangered species of sharks, I will not be participating in this trend at this time.
Thanks,
The Management

I’d suggest starting with Children of Time.

I can recommend Adrian Tchaikovsky (sp?). The man seems to publish a book a month.

Desperately trying to humanise computers and dehumanise people.

The two saddest “what if” deaths of my lifetime are Anthony Bourdain and Douglas Adams.

Actually ignore me. I just looked it up. Yep. Dopaminergic effects. Interesting!

Do we think they have some sort of dopaminergic effect? Surely this can’t be purely about satiety?

Indeed.

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

Ok. Provide evidence that both sides of Korea want to “unify”. Explain what “unify” means in this context. There’s a good chap.

I’d be more confident about SLS getting me to space, but I’d feel equally sceptical about re-entry.

I get what you’re saying. And to be clear, I dislike Musk intensly. But they’re taking different approaches. The launch-break-fix approach has done well for SpaceX over the years. I dread to think what might happen with the heat Shield on Artemis.

Are they though? Starship is showing steady iterative progress. Still behind its original timeline but it’s getting there. SLS/artemis is slow and seems stuck.

Yeah I heard that there was sectarian voting involving Muslims voting for a party with a Jewish leader, or something.

The first episode of the #Scrubs reboot is genuinely, truly, surprisingly great. Just so much heart and silliness and wisdom. The themes of burnout and loneliness ground the series, while the surreal humour shines.

What do you mean I’ve said a lot here? I’m really, really confused by your response.

Has a recent Scream movie done anything with the concept of so-called “elevated horror”? I know one of them was essentially about legacy sequels, but obviously that’s a different thing.

I can’t speak for the guy you’re replying to, but the fact that he put “normal men” and “just participated” in quotes suggests he probably does not view them as normal or innocent.

Me too. And this is despite the fact that I work in the field of trauma arising from abuse. And yet I’m perhaps too charitable in my views of other humans.
