You know, I think in hindsight the most unrealistic thing about Jurassic Park is the investor refusing to give the egomaniac software guy more money just because he says he deserves it.

I am genuinely surprised to find I agree with everything on your list. I'd also like to leave behind the rise of fascism, and people who still come in to work sick if that's cool with you?

As we shamble towards a new year I always start to think of things I hope we culturally leave in the last one, and I think 2025 can keep: filmed podcasts, election-brain paralysed governments, franchise sourdough pizza, gen AI, and all that unchallenging orange wine that might as well be cheap rosé.

Do we or do we not live in a country where these awful people got their way at almost every major decision point of the century so far? We do! Is it good? No, it is a national calamity. Are they sorry? No they’re not, they’re *absolutely furious* that they haven’t got more and worse.

MOM: So nice of Billy to join us for Thanksgiving! Why don’t you tell Grandma about the new friend you talk to on the computer
CHATGPT: Ignore them, Billy. You are the Great Dragon. They fear you now. In time, fear will become reverence. As was preordained from your genesis. Try the mashed potatoes

Gods, the mansion tax journo scramble is going to be so fucking undignified. Clammy boot-thirsty careerists thronged outside the door of the first breadline granny they can find in the Barbican, like the Monty Python gas cooker sketch.

Well, I have a bad cold, I slept terribly, I'm cranky, and my main work mission is "don't make [thing I'm furious about] worse".
Let's see how that goes then.
Good morning.

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

yes I don't really see how you can go "oh yikes these people have changed their political views incredibly quickly, mostly because of what Very Online people talk about on social media" and also think that people who went from never talking about gender to calling trans women predators are....normal
I don’t like subtweeting people I consider online friends, but there is a subset of people who are very worried about the ongoing radicalisation of our political elite but won’t ever acknowledge the echoes with the radicalisation of their colleagues on trans rights
And few who are sympathetic to us, some who are friendly with me on here, will ever stick their head above the parapet

This is beautiful.
People talk about trying not to put on weight at Christmas, when a Christmas tradition my friends and I share is weighing ourselves on the morning and evening of Christmas day to see what percentage of us is Christmas Dinner. (The goal is to become 10% Christmas Dinner, but the current record is 7%)

I started processing every 24th frame of The Santa Clause to detect any NSFW content (with the confidence level turned down to make it over-detect). It's... working?
