Predator: yah I went to Earth and it was *so* authentic, our guide provided us with traditional weaponry and everything. facing humans armed with nothing but a shoulder cannon and a wristblade was a really spiritual experience.

Tire blew out on M23. No hard shoulder but shielded by a lovely female lorry driver and rescued by female highway patrol. Now awaiting the AA.

I am Theodora, not Theo, but with four syllables I've given up on policing it.
yes, this. It drives me mad when people don't use my actual name. I'm Kate, not Katie.
I have unfollowed people on social media who have called me Andy. It’s not my name. I am not an Andy. You might as well call me Ronald. Call people by the name they want.

Just watched the season finale of Severance series 1 (yes, yes, late to the action) and OMG it's one of the best-constructed season finales I have ever seen. I can't think of one to top it, bringing so many threads together with such constant tension.

Anyway, stoked to see how the political tendency that has spent decades cutting mental health funding, advocating for driverless trains and mocking attempts to ban big knives deals with a train driver and guard’s swift action helping end a mentally ill man’s rampage with a big knife.
