"The Pitt" vs. its fandom: Why is the show's vocal fandom putting "The Pitt's" characters on trial to be deemed “good” or “bad"? This week's newsletter buttondown.com/NinaWatchesE...

sick of these catholic converts showing up and saying "well I have a different interpretation of the scripture" no you don't. that's protestantism and a heresy. don't like it there's the (incredibly beautiful and heavily ornamented with precious metals) door

people who actually expect you to "guess what" are breaking the social contract

This is an unbelievably stupid idea. Sorry, I’m generally kinder about people trying to do their bit for democracy but not when they pitch their obviously unworkable idea in the language of populism.

Hi! I am a security engineer. a) yes, this is very scary and very real. I've been expecting it and planning for it and it's still scary. b) all this AI stuff makes security engineers more, not less important. This is an important tool, but it's a *tool*.

The idea of doing your taxes on a phone is chilling. Taxes are the most big computer activity imaginable.

sorry but having a pollen allergy is so unbelievably unchic

Just did section one of the Greater Manchester Ringway. I can't recommend it enough. It's an absolutely beautiful walk and a gorgeous day for it

Sadly, an artist has had to pull out of the ghost story anthology. Which means I have exactly one story without an artist. Ten pages, and cards on the table, it involves a car. Any artists out there up for drawing a ghost story?

On the third day, _on_! It's right there in the text! Death of the author is one thing, fair enough, all readings are equally valid, but it literally says "on the third day he rose again" This is that bloody bodybuilder forum post again

Obviously MPs should still be able to choose who they recruit, hire and fire etc. But in the same way as managers in a professional org can, not as inexperienced and occasionally tyrannical small business owners.

It's time to repost this Easter masterpiece

Why would I use "AI," I actually know how to fucking write

Making Tax Digital! Money Box listeners had a LOT of questions so we asked the HMRC boss behind the scheme to come on and answer them - and he did. Please share with the sole trader in your life (and excuse the inexplicable and dull olde worlde pounde coines pic) www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

When Baz Luhrman had the guns say "sword" on the side in Romeo + Juliet, that was the best choice that has been made in any modern adaptation ever.

It's times like these that make me so glad I was an English major, not a comp sci major like most in my industry. No, I still can't traverse a binary tree, but I can articulate my thoughts in writing about why a feature won't work the way a PM thinks it will.

oh fuck this is unironically sexy

Just been approached by Huel to see if I'll be part of their paid influencer campaign. I don't think they're quite across what I do for a living. (FWIW, and in the interests of having influence, I regard Huel as a soul destroying, miserable product and the death of all that is worth living for.)

Two of my absolute favorite things about the Bible are (a) nobody agrees on how to number the Ten Commandments, and (b) there are very obviously more than ten of them

"But until straight men can be trusted not to self-regulate with sex and romance in that compulsive, dehumanising way - well, anyone who behaves like that probably shouldn’t be dating at all, let alone dating multiple people."

The pagan Spring Equinox festival of Ostara is not the antecedent of the Christian Easter, because the pagan Spring Equinox festival of Ostara was created in around 1973. I appreciate that a statement like this warrants some substantiation, so bear with me.
