Pope fact: black smoke means "no new pope." White smoke means "new pope." Green smoke means "Antichrist located, send in airstrike."

Reading pope power rankings. Absolutely losing it that the word for eligible popes is "popeable."

"Science fiction lends itself readily to imaginative subversion of any status quo. Bureaucrats and politicians, who can't afford to cultivate their imaginations, tend to assume it's all ray-guns and nonsense, good for children." - Ursula K. Le Guin (2012) [Anthology idea: Ray-guns and Nonsense]

I strongly feel that, in the same way that products must be labelled with the country of origin, everything which contains or has been influenced by AI at any stage should be clearly labelled as such so that those of us who wish to avoid it on principle can do so

I love art

the jury has found you tasteless

We should be so lucky

It took me a couple of days to get around to listening to this, but hot damn was it worth it - and then I proceeded to immediately share it with one my friends, so she could hear about disrespecting fish.

All HP Lovecraft stories begin like “I will try and relay the events as best as I can manage, though what I encountered that September night may not be able to be expressed in human language, nor be comprehended by the human mind” and then the story boils down to ‘I saw a building that was large’.

In the kitchen, about to sneeze, I grabbed a tissue, turned, sneezed, walked right into a chair, stopped myself falling, then my glasses fell off so emphatically they flung themselves across the room

Takeshi's Castle, but for selecting a new pope.

My cat Bobbie just stole a piece of lettuce from my salad and tried to eat it. She then spit it out in disgust and looked at me like it was my fault. I don’t have a photo of her with the lettuce, but here is one of her yesterday looking real guilty when I caught her sticking a dirty paw in my tea.

If I start watching Conclave now am I inviting disaster

I did that thing where I stopped watching a TV show properly so I started seeing all of the lamps and assorted light sources in the background. Real scene-breaking stuff

ME: okay so the pitch is basically it’s like Uber but rather than calling drivers in cars, the product/gig is suave Italian Marxist professors who at a moment’s notice can come to lend their style & panache to your stupid argument down the pub ME: Instagramsci INVESTORS: how did she get in here

Please please please goad Musk into flying on one of his totally safe rockets.

And done. If you have a library of content purchased (even at zero dollars, HOWEVER, Kindle Unlimited titles are not eligible), this is a tedious, though simple task. Future you will thank your efforts! #AmReading #eBooks

Do think it quite funny that none of these fictional versions of Elon Musk are even nearly as bad as the real thing

SCREAMED

there really is no other creative work that offers such a stark and naked glimpse into the sheer, screaming psychopathy lurking in the heart of the average Brit than any episode of Come Dine With Me

The funniest thing about the new showerhead installed in the bathroom is that it's too low for my dad and I because the bath was higher than expected. There's a point where you just give up and we're there

The horse was my favourite character

House dust makes me sneezy 😤

BRB new campaign just dropped

I’ve been hacked over in the other place, which in one way is rather a blessing. The process of trying to sort it out is, however, exasperating. This tweet (which a friend screenshot and sent) did make me laugh though, so that’s something!
