Sure sure you might say that my client's knife "caused" the victim to stop being able to pump blood to their brain, but Hume's 𝘌𝘯𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘺 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘏𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘜𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 really makes it clear that we should all have some reasonable doubt about the concept of "causation"

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Robots! Babbage engines! Pneumatic trains! Ersatz-Theosophy! Music hall performers! Time-travellers! Egyptian ghosts! Alien bats! Uh… Victorian lady bodybuilders with psychic powers! (last one is a little niche, I guess, but you never know.)

My dream job is being an extra, playing a Victorian MP in a BBC costume drama. Wearing cool clothes, shouting theatrically, and getting paid for it. Dream job, I tell you.

Exactly. And if you see a book of mine (or anybodys) that you can't afford -- or just don't want to pay for -- ask your library to stock it.
Do not steal books, I beg. Borrow from a library. Libraries lend e-books!

the key feature of "bad photoshop" was not that it was "bad" but that you could see the hand of the person who made it. "bad photoshop" is a triumph of human will over technical stumbling blocks. it's why the shaggs are magical and AI Music Slop is forgotten before you can even finish listening
