This evening on ‘Beefcake the ungovernable’ she had a blast in the playpen, kicked out a load of sand from a sandpit, and when I put my hand into the pen she ran up inside my dressing gown sleeve and up my arm. I had to shake her out into my hand and she sounded like a brick when she hit my palm

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

Jeeves's expression became solemn. "I am forbidden to say, sir."

"The Juinor [sic] Ganymede Club's policies are firm, sir."
"Isn't there some hint you could give me? Something to help fix Gussie and Madeline's engagement? The situation is grave, Jeeves."
Jeeves considered the gravity of the situation.

I moved to a new town six yrs ago & I must have a doppelgänger there named Alan. When I'm in a shop or out with the dog someone often shouts "alright Al". I've given up correcting them & just say hi back. I secretly like it as the real me could never be as popular as Al.

Had an intriguing editorial discussion recently: how did people in the past talk about 'minutes' when they didn't have watches or standardised times? How does that affect your thinking?
