The meaning of words is to be decided not by their use, usefulness, or history, but by their commercial benefit to the most powerful lobby groups. I have a recipe for almond milk in a cookbook from 1226. It has been used as a term in English for hundreds of years.

"Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand", by Primitive Radio Gods
Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)

I see people talking about using AI agents to book flights as if that's something done so regularly that it'll save loads of time.
Then I think about Ryanair detecting that you're using an agent and adding another fee for the privilege.

We didn't make it all the way through Happy Feet in the cinema for our second trip. There's a lot of "mild peril" in there.

Cars and TVs don't need jingles and dancing light sequences for switching on and off. What possible benefit is there to this?
With everything becoming a general purpose CPU but with wheels/a screen, product owners are just saying "Sure, why not?" instead of "No, that's pointless"

Sadly, it doesn't look like Oldboy is in the Wee Filmhouse section, so I don't think it's a kid friendly screening. He'll just have to put up with the louder volume.

In the last three days I've watched three films of my choice, start to finish without interruption. It's been a while.
And let me tell you, 28 Years Later, Monsters Inc, and then Bone Temple is a great run of movies.
