Ever hear a song on the radio and just burst into tears?

"And the Shame said to it's Landlord -
I've been here too long.
You don't deserve me like others do.
I'm not supposed to dress in humble colours.
I was born for torching the sleep of the Guilty."

For A Burning World (feat Ellen Renton)

Read on an About page of a self-designated 'Leading Thinker in Tech'

"I find introverts as inscrutable as Women in Tech. I know they exist but have no idea why"

Just been on hold with a company that had hold music which was the same 4 chords just drones in a loop.

Suffered for 20 minutes and then hung up because I was starting to want to hurt someone

@DemocracySpot it's a 'Finance' company that bought my student loan (part of a huge batch) from the Govt - this is entirely the kind of thing they would do.

Apparently Chinese cheap Electric Vehicles (cars) are flooding the American and European market - their prices severely undercut the domestic markets, BUT each car is sold at a massive financial loss - so what does China gain from this tactic?

"China’s Nio loses $35,000 per EV sold.

It only sells 8,000 cars a month, but enough for US/ EU automakers to be concerned since Nio receives hefty subsidies from the Chinese government to stay afloat." - The Verge/ New York Times

Just updated the software on my Roku and now it's insisting that The Walking Dead TV show is a Real Life Documentary and welp, that's my cue to go to bed I guess?

See y'all tomorrow - I hope !

A TV documentary just stated that one in eight people who take a DNA test discover that the identity of their father is not who they thought it was - which.. whoa.

That seems like a lot! 👀

There is a UK 'News' channel that has a peak viewership of 3 million people daily.

It's Trash.

I take comfort in the fact that the City of London - not greater London but basically just the bit of London, more or less, enclosed by the Circle Tube line - has a population of just over 8 million.

Y'know what's great?

Sandwiches.

You take two types of one kind of food, mash em together with other kinds of food in the middle and voila! Magic Yum.*

@AndrewTBP the only clip I can find is of Romesh ranganathan on QI eating some toast between two slices of bread, but as noted you should now be Yeeted into the Sun.

Good Day Sir

Oh no help I'm looking at Warhammer 40k armies on Ebay again.

@garius I shall help you resist:

  • Can you afford them?
  • Do you have space for them?
  • Will you actually paint them or will they just be added to a stack of Guilt Inducing WIP ?
  • Does the notion of buying them excite you more than the reality of owning them?
  • Will buying them cause you to fall into a rabbit hole of buying other things in order to enjoy them (paints, brushes etc)
  • Will merely owning them unpainted make you smile? (this is valid)

@garius finally imagine Current you having a conversation with Future You.. which do you experience more? :

Regret at having bought them or Regret at NOT having bought them?

thinking back to my old life making twine games and the funniest thing to ever happen to me was someone commenting on my work with "omg! you're like a lightweight kitty horrorshow" like it was a compliment and that was the exact point i knew i had to give it up

Faintdreams,

@zozo I am not familiar with Kitty Horrorshow - what was it about the comparison that made you uneasy?

Faintdreams,
@Faintdreams@dice.camp avatar

@zozo aha. I understand.

"Ian McEwan criticises hiring of ‘sensitivity readers’ looking for offensive material in manuscripts" - The Guardian.

[Not linking because Fuck the Guardian newspaper. ]

Also it's waaaay past time that Professional Authors stop talking about Sensitivity Readers with zero knowledge of what a Sensitivity Reader actually DOES FFS.

There are rumours that a Biopic of Liz Truss - from birth to up to her disastrous stint as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom - is in development, and the front runner to play Adult Liz is..

Lady Gaga.

This. Is. Bonkerballs. Unhinged. Cuckoobananapants.

@Faintdreams@dice.camp avatar

@tansy

I mean, I've only seen a little bit of Mz Gaga's non music video acting - and by most accounts she has talent & craft - but then the Gucci film happened and she either totally understood the assignment or.. definitely did not.

I don't think Truss deserves any kind of Biopic, but if one must exist, I guess a Lady Gaga car-crash of film version is the best case scenario?

@SonOfSunTzu

Speak for yourself !

I definitely don't deserve any more bad nor cheesy biopics to exists, but if the market will bare it and it can bring the kind of bad movie joy that Morbius can / did - then yes !
