Imagine finding out, at the same time the world does, that your boss doesn’t care about you at all. In fact, the best word to describe what their boss thinks of them is “Disposable”

I was literally responing to your post about fox viewers between 25-54.

I don’t think there is any other way to look in them. Suspect he just looks unremarkable until he puts them on and….

99.9 % agree with this but there is always an exception. In this case , whatever else, it wasn’t boring

Yes. IIRC, in the old (first) Discworld encyclopedia, Terry
mentions this similarity, and notes that at least one HP
fan asked him in conventions about the similarity
between Hogwarts and UU, between Harry and Ponder,
and so on. He further notes that there is at least one HP
fan who angrily accused him of ripping off Rawling, to
which Terry noted that he'd been writing the Discworld
books since at least 1980-81.
At this, the HP fan got very red in the face and said, "O-
ho, so you're saying that Rawling ripped you off, do
you?!"
To which the only possible answer, as Terry says, is to
sigh and explain that no, wizards and magical
universities are staples of fantasy. They are generic.
That's why it's called a genre, for heaven's sake.

This is like Apple is trying to catfish paedophiles.

First time I had come across this, it having played out mostly after I left the UK but …fuck. And Michael Gove’s response to the podcast may be showing more ass than he intended.

My choices are pretty unsophisticated and mark me as someone who joy of gaming disappeared when I couldn’t get the hang of 3D .

Can we all now stop pretending “the market” is all knowing and never wrong now. Object permanence of an infant trying to figure out why their nose is gone.

Dad Kapital@scottishkiwi· Feb 19

Yeah. Can see the resemblance now. Amazing that these were both taken mere weeks before the subject died.

After years of on /off mindfulness and meditation, repeatedly struggling with the concept of looking for blue sky beyond the clouds and unconscious resistance, I realised the perfect metaphor has been with me since childhood. And , as usual, the Simpsons did it first

Mileage may vary as we live in different countries but I’d argue going from <1 to >10 in less than a decade counts as an epidemic

I am aware this is not the most pressing of his views but…does he think woman were invented 2000 years ago.Or the world is only 2000 years ago? Or…what

This. But also , this is why caring about trans rights is so important. The UK court judgement was and will be seen in the future ( much like section 28)as the backward raving of a more primate time. It was also someone’s rights being stripped away. And if can happen to them, it can happen to you.
