Don’t forget another obvious symptom: always whining about how they’re the victim.

I was in Dorset yesterday and the difference between drivers there and here in London is big. Here they’re happy to risk anyone’s life to shave a few seconds off their journey. In Bournemouth, they were stopping at green lights to let us cross, even when there were no other cars behind them. I was keeping an eye out for cyclists too and the drivers were giving them room and stopping to let them turn, etc.

Dang. Well I’m going to continue to put spaces, because it looks nicer. If people can spell “all right” as “alright”, then I can put spaces around my em dashes!

Why should you stop? I prefer to use em dashes (when I’m on my PC. I used to know the alt code for it). I’m not going to stop using them. By the way, I put spaces around my em dashes, but I notice you (and ChatGPT) don’t. Now I have to look up which is correct.

Yeah and it’s an em dash, not the regular hyphen on the keyboard (as you’ve used). ChatGPT does like a good em dash. Also is it true that trump can’t actually read? That time starmer gave him the letter from king Charles, he looked at it blankly before giving it back and asking starmer to read it. That really gave me “I can’t read” vibes.

I seem to remember Musk’s defence on the paedo thing being that in South Africa, it’s not meant to be taken literally and it’s just a generic insult.

Mr Musk told the court this week the phrase “pedo guy” was common in South Africa, where he grew up.

So if a bunch of South Africans started calling Musk paedo-guy on Twitter and elsewhere, it’s just bants and not defamation, right?

She’s the US version of Nadine Dorries.

He’d find you on the couch.

Don’t watch it alone, it’s actually mentally exhausting. I managed two alone, no more. Watch it with at least one other person so you can snark it as you watch. Fateful Findings was probably the worst. If you’re not brave enough to face them alone, Kurtis Conner and Space Ice have snarks of the full films.

Also his films do get taken off YouTube for copyright. Internet archive has the full collection though.

USers.

I can access catbox from the UK, no VPN. But videos hosted on it often won’t show up on Connect(although they did until recently), so I have to view them via browser. I can see your images just fine.

Budgies!

This annoys me. It keeps showing me cyan, but only giving me the options of green or blue. Cyan is neither. It’s freaking cyan! It’s a subtractive primary colour!

(Don’t get me started on art teachers insisting the primary colours for paint are red, yellow and blue. Naff off with that crap. Go look at printer ink, then naff right off again.)
