I really like the Discover Weekly queue on Spotify. I’ll find a track I like, then listen to the album, and if that’s good, I’ll listen to the rest of the discography. I’ve found quite a few Most Favourite Bands Ever this way.

With things like Facebook, X, etc. ‘advertising vehicle’ is probably the most accurate term.

I’ve been using swipe to type on my phone, but I do wonder if I spend more time correcting it than I save by using it. If I have a physical keyboard, hell no. All spelling errors are entirely my own.

I don’t mind them going into space. It’s the coming back I have a problem with.

In a nutshell, we all thought he was cool until we actually learned more about him.

“… curtail developer choice” - This from a bunch of people for whom the term ‘executive meddling’ was created.

Don’t you understand? His kids insisted.

I’m helping by using it as little as possible.

I like electric cars well enough for their simplicity and acceleration. It’s all the other computerised gubbins they hang off them that I dislike, and Teslas are the worst for that.

I saw an old VW Beetle that had been converted to electric on the road recently. I wonder how hard/expensive it would be to do that with my 2 when the engine dies.

I’m hoping it catches on. Spread it around.

I’ve got a 2008 manual. It doesn’t even have cruise control. It’s perfect. I’m keeping it as long as I possibly can.

More like discontent creators amiright?

I’ve taken to calling them effluencers.

Also, never underestimate the stupidity of the masses.

Between their stealing YouTube money from people giving them free advertising and never reducing the price of decades old games, if they make them available at all, and their shitty online experience, I’m amazed Nintendo has any market goodwill left, but reality never ceases to amaze me. Nostalgia is a powerful beast.

I understand they make some of the most fun games ever, but their legal department cancels that out by an order of magnitude.

Silverberg is one of the greats.

Iain M Banks’ Culture novels. Eon by Greg Bear.

Such a great series. During covid lockdown for six weeks I was watching the TV series in the day and reading the novels in bed at night. I’ve never experienced media in quite the same way. They were both amazing. Amos is one of my all-time favourite characters in fiction.

“I aim to misbehave”

Bill Burr.

I can’t think of a single one.
