Sometimes I translate. Sometimes I write. Often I'm half of Two Strangers. Sometimes I make stuff up on a stage.
Talking with my elderly neighbour about times changing, which could have easily devolved into "which era was better/worse" (rolling blackouts vs environmental disaster etc)
I ended up conceiving of the phrase "you have candles, we had COVID". We laughed.
People are interesting when they share.

I don't watch a lot of anime, but I do work with subtitles in my day job.
This is a mockery of my work and the work of anime producers and creatives.
If you ARE an anime fan, I'd urge you to oppose this. Like all corporations, the customer must be loud to be heard.

There was no snow. I still did this because I'm a dedicated fellow.

It honestly must be so tiring spending your time looking for excuses to be a bigot on social media.
I just read two "why don't immigrants just stay and fight for their country" comments on Facebook and I feel like I need a week off work.

Exactly. For example this gem from 1999 is now returning as Starmer policy.
Imagine Winston Churchill suggesting Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazis need to hand over all their jewellery so Winston can give tax cuts to Henry Ford, an American billionaire white supremacist.

Taking asylum seekers jewellery is a hardy Labour trope.
In 1999 Mike O’Brien MP immigration minister proposed legislation to take asylum seekers valuables worth over £2,000.
Asked if that meant taking asylum seekers jewellery in committee he said, ‘that is exactly what we will do’

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

Discworld is right there. So are the works of Diane Duane and Ursula K LeGuin. You could also try any number or LGBTQ+ or BIPOC authors as well. Joanne didn't invent fiction, for fuck's sake.
I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.
