I feel like the two Disney+ seasons of Doctor Who are a perfect case study in this. Just....not quite enough room to hit some of the same beats that earlier seasons reached easily.

Not every show needs to make 20+ episodes a year, but SO many current shows would be better off doing at least 10-13.
at the end of the broadcast era, we were pumping out 23 eps of Lost a year and now we can't get the second season of Heated Rivals, which has like 10 cast members, six locations, and no effects, until 2027. we must do better.

But if centaurs WERE real, they'd probably be pissed at well-meaning two-legs constantly asking them centaur questions, like their only purpose in the world was to explain their culture to the two-legs.

It is deeply important to me that Galadriel is right about Sauron still being out there, and also that Galadriel is flawed and hard and brutal in her single-mindedness as a commander rather than being some wafty sad Cassandra figure in the background

Henry I's mother was Matilda of Flanders, his first wife Matilda of Scotland; he had three illegitimate daughters called Matilda, as was his legitimate daughter. After William's son died on the White Ship, he made Matilda his heir, but her cousin Stephen took the crown; his wife was another Matilda.
On this day in 1120, the White Ship sank en route from Barfleur to Southampton. William Ætheling, King Henry I’s only legitimate son and heir to the throne, drowned whilst trying to save his half-sister, Matilda of Perche, who also perished.

I was opening a bunch of PDFs in acrobat yesterday and my computer's fans were going wild. I have a lot of RAM so this was surprising to me. Turns out Acrobat now generates AI summaries by default when you open a file, instead of just asking if you want one (which I never do).

I genuinely couldn’t be happier! I shall now say that missing episode recoveries are dead in the water, and wait for the universe to answer. :)

I am merely aiding the police in their inquiries, it is simply a way of passing the time for me, and the constables, they are gracious enough to accept my assistance, all unpaid, of course. If you, too, will humor me by joining the other guests in the parlor I would like to share some of my findings
This photo accompanying a news story about the heist at the Louvre is perfection.

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

One of my favorite Excel stories is the “London Whale” trading error which lost JP Morgan $6.2bn in 2012 because a financial spreadsheet divided some cells by the sum of two numbers rather than their average so everything looked hunky dory when it was in fact… not

Anyway exciting times ahead:
