It's often presented as a kind of conformity or groupthink to "trust the experts," but you do in fact need to do this to have a functioning society! What is the alternative? Every person researches every single issue of public concern themselves?

Fuck this, absolutely fuck this, everyone who loves audiobooks loves their favourite narrators because they are great at their jobs and interpreting the author's words and they make the experience what it is www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

I keep forgetting it's a long weekend coming up. I figure there's a 65% chance I'll show up at work on Monday.

There was a time when I felt that car alarms were dying out, but now once again they're everywhere and POINTLESS because no-one ever goes to look at why they're going off so they go on and on and on and on.

What am I forgetting?? There's something hiding at the back of my brain but I can't quite bring it out.

Altos were directly behind the horns in tonight's concert, so as far as I can tell the first three movements of Beethoven's Ninth are a fairly repetitive horn quartet with some light accompaniment.

When I stepped out into the sun this morning I discovered that the background of my dress is dark green, not navy blue like I had thought. Eyes, what were you thinking?

I'm quite nervous about the election tomorrow. I'm always anxious, but the stakes feel higher than ever. (Federal elections are also odder when you're in BC, the press usually calls the winning party before the polls have even closed out here.)

A lot of librarians and educators think genAI/AI is like what happened when the internet hit the scene. They think it's going to be this useful, powerful research device and that anyone resisting is like those old school people who didn't want to ditch card catalogues. But it's fundamentally not.

This year's reading project of clearing out the books I put on my to-read list in 2015 has been a wild ride so far. Just this weekend I abandoned two books in the first few chapters but also got really into something over 800 pages long that I wasn't expecting to stick with.

…just as every other survey and experiment has found for decades. The “problem” with UBI is that greedy rich fucks want captive victims and UBI causes supplies of those to plummet.

Every time I take ibuprofen before bed because of cramps and then I sleep right through the night for once, I think wistfully about developing a nightly ibuprofen habit.

Today is the 5 year anniversary to when I slowly started losing my mind during the pandemic and began dressing up as works of art. As my Twitter account has long been abandoned, why not make a thread of my madness on BlueSky? This was “The Maid” by Wilhelm August Lebrecht Amberg, from 1862

My new favourite Bluesky game is looking at posts that say they've been hidden because of muted words and trying to find an actual muted word in the post. No idea how Bluesky is deciding what to mute, but it has no relation to what I asked it to mute. 😂
