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

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13
The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up
