Yes. Yes you should.

I believe this might be what the young people call “living your best life” and I for one am very pleased for you.

“You’re such a wanker!” she said.

“How dare you!” he ejaculated.

When that came out I was working at an arts cinema in Cambridge, UK and I remember the projectionist’s look of horror when he spotted it in the brochure of upcoming attractions, imagining it to be actually 32 separate shorts he would need to splice together.

I hope they’ve patented this revolutionary bit of tech before they blabbed online about it.

I mostly know her from podcasts and radio rather than articles. What would you say were her areas of unreasonableness? (Feel free to disregard if you’d rather spend the time elsewhere).

Fair enough. Most of what I know about Hermaphroditus comes from a half-remembered early Genesis song, so I might have to concede that you have the greater expertise on this subject.

If I’m honest, I probably just liked the idea of equating 17thC painters to comic artists.

Good article overall, I thought.

Thanks for this. I'm inclined to think that the adaptation of the pose from the earlier statue might only be (what in the world of comics would be called) a swipe rather than anything with any deeper meaning or significance, but what do I know? And regardless, it's fascinating. Also: great painting.

No, they’re saying the opposite: “surprising or inaccurate”. Which implies that if it’s accurate then that’s surprising.

I've had the same thought.

And the same second thought.

Also there should be a space after the d in her signature and the e should be capitalised.

“…it was getting heated…”

No kidding.

“Oh, Ambassador, with this Ferrero Rocher you’re really spoiling… your reputation as a generous host.”

Dave Shelton @davidashelton.bsky.social · 11d

Oh, Jamie, you fool! Never eat Ferrero Rocher unless you’re in an embassy. Did you not pay attention to the long-running public information film?

Ooh! I might be able to get to that.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.
