Quite quiet.
I think green matches her buddy's better, but they both look great

Paul Davies - About Time contains the best, most succinct description of time dilation and related weirdness I've read. Was 20+ years ago, so some of the info might be outdated now, but the basics (hopefully!) remain. His book The Last Three minutes is a great "general awe" book too!

Two things:

I think that 0.003% might be Spotify's lowest unit
I work from home, so it's not QUITE that bad... I hope.

That's odd. I can get as far as this page, but afraid I'm not about to take on a subscription to test further! Takes me through to PayPal OK, but that's where I stopped.

I get this page when I go to www.spectator.co.uk/subscribe/ - weirdly it doesn't load properly when I'm in InPrivate mode - in which case I get the page loading exactly as the image you posted.

You bastard, you have no idea how much this is going to annoy me.

I recently had to perform the tune to The Flumps to see if a friend remembered the show, and genuinely wondered when the last person did that out loud.

Likely Ed Davey had a Red Letter Day voucher about to expire

No single US news source is consumed by more than 25% of Americans, whereas 60% of Brits regularly watch/read/listen to the BBC.

A single shared source of truth makes it harder for partisan echo chambers to form, or for divisive narratives to dominate. It’s good for social cohesion and compromise.

Reminds me of one of my favourite Futurama jokes:

Farnsworth: "Uranus? We stopped calling it that centuries ago, the source of so many immature jokes"

Fry: "Oh, what do you call it now?"

Farnsworth: "Urectum"

I knew I was a grumpy old fart when Google used "literally" - correctly in a sentence - explaining how it was "Used to suggest something is not literally true", but now I'm tired and ok with it.

Don't want to spoil things if you haven't watched them all, but there's a part where she mentions "soporific" and it made me laugh for a long time, and it still frequently amuses me

I watched the original "The Fog", in the attic, at night, aged 8 or so with my older brothers. I can't remember a thing about it other than being frozen solid with fear and really, really regretting it.

I can believe it, even think of a suspect - once stopped me trying to sell me dog food...
