You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

Rain was so heavy and visibility so bad I was driving the last mile home on muscle memory instead of sight.

Nice argument, unfortunately I have already depicted you as the soyjak doomscroller Bob and myself as the chad organizer Sensei Sergio.

That scene from the Last of Us where a chasm opens up and both Imperial and chaos forced look uneasily at each other and then Orks swarm out of it.

Today's the 959th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings, so obviously I'm reposting my scenes from the Bayeux Tapestry in Playmobil.

My dad died recently and one of our shared interests was Terry Pratchett. Precisely because our books show years of shared reading they are so special. Mort has a note in the back where my dad wrote the code to my bike lock and they're the most meaningful four numbers in existence @rhi.bsky.social

The veneration of Books As Objects misses the point entirely. If you're reading a book, turn the corners down, break the spine, spill soup on it. It's your book, go nuts. A pristine, unread book is a tragedy in a way that a beloved, much-read book that looks like the dog's been at it could never be.

The rikishi are taking-in the town and doing what we all do when in London.
Seeing the sights, admiring the parks, shopping on High Street, taking tea at Fortnum's, using the olde phonebox, eating Chinese, and having a terrific time.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

You're living through one of the biggest technological transformations in world history and it has nothing to do with AI

Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent new visual story on batteries in FT today shows just how far this technology has evolved.

Fasten your seatbelts, this is just the beginning.

this is only literary opinion adjacent but it is definitely unhinged

when I am stocking copies of a face-out book at the bookstore, I will put the fresh copies behind any copies already on the shelf, because they’ve been waiting their turn to be picked and I don’t want their feelings to get hurt
