One wonders why people use the aubergine emoji 🍆 as a phallic symbol when, thanks to the inclusion of Egyptian hieroglyphics in Unicode, we have 𓂸 available.

So, I'm going to have to stop reading Ask a Manager, because Alison Green openly supports genocide. What a pity.

On 27th August 2015, The Shepherd's Crown, the last book Sir Terry Pratchett completed before he died, was published.

To mark the ten year anniversary, we have a message from Rob Wilkins:
It’s been ten years since the publication of The Shepherd’s Crown, the last book Terry Pratchett completed before he died. Once the spine on this one was cracked, there were no more new Pratchetts to look forward to, and I know a lot of Discworld readers who were, understandably, with that sad reality in mind, reluctant to finish - or even start - this one because it felt like the final closing of a door. But I also know that Terry wanted his books to be read and enjoyed far more than he wanted them kept on a shelf. And as time passes it becomes ever more apparent how much the Discworld books reward re-visiting, perpetually revealing something new, literary gems Terry had hidden away for a second or third, or even more, re-read. Every Pratchett is to some degree an unread Pratchett, including the ones you’ve already enjoyed and including The Shepherd’s Crown. So the greatest way to honour Terry’s legacy is to pull that book you’ve been saving off the shelf, make a nice cup of tea and settle down to read the story he wrote for you. Enjoy. Rob Wilkins Wiltshire, August 2025

This is *such* a good essay, mostly about AI slop, but also about some broader social trends.

I once saw someone turn up late to an online meeting, because they'd used ChatGPT to convert the timezone for them.

How would spicy autocomplete know how to convert timezones? Why would anyone trust it to do that? People are weird.

I pay actual money for YouTube Premium, so it's frustrating when it doesn't work. Opening YouTube in flight mode should show me my downloads. Instead, it shows "loading". It may eventually show me my downloads, maybe in thirty seconds, maybe in thirty minutes, maybe never. Depends what mood it's in.

It seems that if your phone does not have an NFC scanner (mine doesn't) it's impossible to have a verified account on LinkedIn. Odd.

Anyone know a workaround?

This application form has "expected annual salary" as a required field. I have no idea what to put in it. I was underpaid at my previous job, but would be willing to go for the same again to get employment, but underselling myself may be counterproductive. It's a game I don't know how to play.

one great mystery of our age is how the only way to motivate rich people to work is to give them loads of money for no reason but the only way to motivate poor people to work is to take away loads of their money for no reason

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

I genuinely don't think that Putin has any leverage over Trump. I think Trump is just enough of a pathetic weakling that he'll do anything Putin asks him, because he admires Putin, because he wants to be Putin, because Putin is a dictator and Trump desperately wants to be.

(Sad.)

Was going to watch a new Nebula show, Abolish Everything. Saw it was an hour long and decided to leave it till tomorrow, because I need an early night.

Then spent over an hour catching up on Matt Baume videos on YouTube instead of actually going to bed. No real regrets.

Should Matt be on Nebula?

After winning the presidential election in 1980 one of the first orders of business for Republicans was ordering federal programs to withhold assistance from queer people. Times sure have changed

Okay, I know the world is falling apart and we all might die soon, but I just discovered Jet Lag: The Game. Dude, it's so good. Described as Amazing Race + Taskmaster. It's on Nebula and YouTube. I swear... If you haven't seen it, it will absolutely hold back the abyss for a little while.

I think it's both depressing and telling how many Americans (including many members of the elite media) view "masculinity" basically in terms of being an abuser and are excited and thrilled to sign up themselves and others for more abuse.

Repeating myself, but the idea of Trump & Musk as "masculine" remains bizarre. They're just the toxic and immature parts with none of the traditional "masculine" virtues. They're whiny, entitled, unreliable, dishonest, self-absorbed, never take responsibility, never put duty over self-interest, etc.

The American Right has made substantial progress on its attitude towards sexuality; it will now embrace and promote men who assault either women OR other men.
