For some reason I take perverse satisfaction in being the 101th person to like this. It’s like authoritarianism 101, but for a tangerine toddler.

Can’t think of anyone who ever died of pronouns.

His royal highness is going to get us all killed. Him and his big beautiful bombs. It’s like giving an angry toddler a machine gun.

Truth is what you write in 72pt type. Isn’t it?

"My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier." So Ukraine, Gaza, California and now Iran. Presumably some new definition of 'peacemaker and unifier' that has not entered the Oxford English Dictionary yet. Alt-words maybe? 💙📚

THAT is a Flocker from Tiny Planets. Bing & Bong are going to be peeved.

If a Roman emperor had ordered troops to cross the Rubicon he'd have had a very bad reception on the steps of the senate. Et tu?

If Apple can make iPhones using automated factories (so we're told) what is the point of forcing them to make iPhones in America? There's no benefit to jobs or the economy. All that happens is people pay more for iPhones. Nobody wins, everyone loses. Can't even begin to make sense of this.

Not read it but Tegmark's four-tier multiverse hypotheses are fascinating. A proponent of 'calculating space' I seem to remember. Very interesting guy.

I am seriously starting to love Wales and the Welsh. Gorgeous scenery and lovely people.

It's a long weekend away 🙂 But it is gorgeous. Amazed by how lovely, and friendly, this area is.

Hate to say it but the problem may be the solution. Strict AI moderation may be the only way to keep hate off social media. Human mods just can’t keep up, there’s too much to deal / cope with. We tried this years ago on a site, back up by human mods - it worked fairly well even then.

…I’m probably just having an allergic reaction to ‘truth social’ - an oxymoron if ever there was one…!

I'm expressing myself poorly. Facts are facts, numeric and indisputable. Truth is subjective, often clouded by emotion and perspective. Take the question, glass half empty or half full? The fact is it's half a glass, and whatever you call it does not matter. A subtle difference - maybe too subtle.

Well, gimme some facts. They trump truth (especially social) any day of the week. Facts are hard boiled empiricism distilled into unquestionable data. Climate change is a fact, not merely truth. Nigel Farage is an idiot. This is a fact.

The last page of ‘Contact’ is the best ending of any science fiction book - ever.
