Not the article so much as the names. We've heard over and over that ex-Prince Andrew is to be plain Mr Mountbatten-Windsor but the BBC constantly refer to him to as Andrew when others are referenced by surname.

Auspicious day. The biro clipped to the magnetic notepad on the fridge ran out. It was used for writing shopping lists and nothing else and had lasted years. It fills me with hope that my crate of old unfinished biros might be reduced to merely a large box by perhaps the mid point of this century.

Had the solution at row 4 but thought, what if I keep putting the same guess in? Will Nerdle politely point out that I'm repenting myself?

Thinking of doing a video where I react to reaction videos. I'll be mostly saying things like, "I can't believe you've never heard this song before. How old are you? Have you been living under a rock?"

From now on I'm going to unboost toots that are edited after I boost them. For one thing, someone who edits once is quite likely to edit twice or more and I don't want the notifications. Been there, done that, moved on. For another, what have they changed? Do I still want to put my name to it? […]

Humans are becoming AI. Their world is perceived in tiny rectangles of secondhand scrapings from someone else's observation. They ignore their own senses and delegate their intelligence to machines they do not control. Artificial intelligence is becoming the only intelligence. Good luck to us.

The only thing I need from AI is an app that can recognise when I'm putting something down. It doesn't need to remember what or where I'm putting it down. It just needs to make a loud peep when I'm doing it and I'll do the rest.

I remember saying at the start of the millennium that the new decade should become known as the noughties. Hearing it used on BBC news this morning (re Limp Bizkit) finally struck home that it's established. Don't know if it was used in previous centuries. Any improvements on plain old twenty tens?
