Well, Godzilla Minus One was a great watch.

In part, this is why I just don't buy books from Amazon anymore and, instead, stick to non-resident libraries instead. There is something profoundly funny about UFO maniacs getting scammed by fake AI books https://www.404media.co/amazon-sold-fake-copies-of-hotly-anticipated-ufo-book/

@weirdwriter Would you recommend any particular non-resident libraries?

Good morning, it's time for another cursed patent! And guess what, this one is yet another overengineered douche. Meet the Instrument For Treating the Vagina and Uterus, patented by Christopher C. Parker in 1883.

I am currently engrossed in reading the Expanse book series. In the universe of these books, humanity's advanced space-faring civilization still grapples with familiar issues like geopolitical tension, inequality, and exploitation.

The arrival of a mysterious new technology ignites intense reactions from governments, individuals, and political ideologies.

In these books, I see many parallels to how people currently interact with AI.

@pink_doublethink Me too! (And rewatching the TV series at the same time)

There’s a new show on CBC featuring an undiagnosed woman autistic called Dinosaur.
I am hopeful.
Anyone watched it yet or want to watch it with me?

@JoBlakely Diagnosed (both the character & actor). I watched the first couple of episodes because I'm a fan of Ashley Stories who plays Nina & it's excellent. Very Scottish humour.

@NudelnAlDente@mstdn.social avatar

I've been having the most surreal experience where the company's is gaslighting one of their own colleagues into believing that they are going to be managing the role they are actively hiring for. In the meantime, I've been told outright by HR that this person is not going to be the manager but doesn't know that. Oh & it's all confidential so don't let the gaslit colleague know plz. WTF? 🤨

"No I don't want to work for your company, it sounds toxic AF!"

Just saw the nonsense about national service in the that the have come out with. 🙄 I presume this is primarily designed to get the attention (& votes) from old codgers who come out with shite like "Young people today don't know how good they have it!" and "In my day we did our national service barefoot uphill in the snow in both directions & it never did us any harm, I'll have you know!"

Weirdly I think I'm going to have to stock up on some spices on a planned trip to the UK soon. We've picked up most of (what we consider to be) the basics but ground coriander of all things is eluding us. 🫤

Argh, my local shop ran out of my yarn for the blanket I'm crocheting so now I'm going to have to ration the half ball I have left until my online order arrives (hopefully next week). 😱

Have you read Station Eleven? It’s absolutely wonderful and it’s 99p on Kindle today!

NudelnAlDente,
@NudelnAlDente@mstdn.social avatar

@purplepadma I read it during the first Covid lockdown. It felt very hopeful, not so much for the individuals but humanity in general & our more important accomplishments (art & culture!). More hopeful than a lot of post-apocalyptic fiction I've read so it felt very appropriate at the time.
The TV show's also pretty good.

Back when "bring your whole self to work" was a sentence people said with a straight face, I vividly remember thinking "these people use the internet, but they do not know the internet. They haven't really seen it. They haven't been seen by it."

NudelnAlDente,
@NudelnAlDente@mstdn.social avatar

@mhoye It's almost certainly my own bias (against people in HR who are most likely to come out with bollox like that imo) but when I hear that line said unironically I can't help but think that the person saying it lacks a depth to their soul or character that can best be described as plain weirdness. If your whole self is one that a workplace (particularly a corporate one) can handle without breaking, you really want to consider your life choices. 🤷‍♀️

I have caught my first nasty Spanish cold. Very similar to UK or Irish colds. 🤧 Would not purchase again.

This week I got my residency sorted (yay to being officially back in the EU 🇪🇺) & dodged a bullet for job application. 😅

Employers - if you're in the process of splitting up your company, don't let someone from the other side of the company write the job spec! Especially if everyone who specialises in the subject is staying on the other side & the new role is effectively being cut adrift. Oh & the writer of the job spec isn't aware that the split is looming. 🙄
