I was raised by I’m Sorry I’ll Read That Again episodes as we drove up and down the East Coast, and thought “Jokendalan Billoddy” was a single name because of the speed Cleese reeled off the cast and crew. Also knew the word “gibbon” before “monkey”. G’night, Bill.

How about a commemorative Stuff That Gibbon earworm? Change things up a bit:

Wait. Does this mean the Canadian bacon is being recalled because the US side let it through without conducting US-side inspections? So it’s not that there’s something wrong with the bacon, it’s that the bacon hasn’t been inspected at all? That… sounds like an us problem. And a US problem. Again.

Painting a picture with his words again, I see. Shame it’s this picture.

The “everyone on the product team is a user experience researcher!” movement really opened the door for the project PM to skew the whole trajectory. That and they kept kicking UX researchers out of the blockchain and NFT meetings for being “difficult”.

I liquefy the insides of Malteasers and suck them out in the manner of a spider. What.

Wild to think of this guy going to work next week and in every meeting he attends, everyone else around the table now knows he thinks you’re less worthy than he is. He looks at you and thinks: I should have more of EVERYTHING than any one of you.

I’d like to think this subject matter familiarity is also what’s prevented Apple from leading the AI wearbles pack. Just the right ratio of nerds for a critical mass of “hey, wait, I swear I read about this in a book and it didn’t end well…” to pervade the office.

Foodborne pathogen, surely. Or screwworm? Measles? Whooping cough. Maybe polio, once that gets roaring again. I mean honestly there are so many new, exciting choices.

Yes. It’s a known side-effect of the outbreak of birdwatching in your late 30s.

I wish everyone would talk like this.

Adjoa Andoh. I think she’d make all of your voices really quirky when I’m winning imaginary arguments with you.

So this is just a flat-out lie.

The post is so obviously ethically and legally insane. “I’m also going to eat meat ethically harvested from my clone, which is fine and not cannibalism, since the clone is me”. All these idiots discovered sci fi at 12, read it for 2 years, and understood nothing but the literal words on the page.

My aunt called me “Mary Fucking Poppins” for about a year after I moved back from the UK (in my defense, I lived there for years). My NZ friends have no choice but to shift in the US. One asked for a “Beck’s” beer in a bar. After making him repeat himself twice, the barkeep handed him a bic pen.

If the scores were known ahead of time and they were just analyzing to see where their son might have been scored wrong, maybe. But they didn’t know ANYONE’s score, and they sound methodical enough that they’d be tracking all the contestants for accuracy. If variance only impacted him… Well.

That’s only on the lightning round - they also scored him as giving the incorrect answers about Article Three in a prior round, on two questions where his answers are fully aligned with the text of the Constitution. So he went into the lightning round having already been mis-scored.

My company budgeted for AI to transcribe interviews via a third-party company. The AI rejected them as “non-English language”. So did the offshore human translators. I ended up having to “translate” the whole batch. All Brits from “the North” and Scotland. I was much more expensive than AI.

“she does this while mostly trading dialogue with a totally lost and out-of-his-depth Tom Holland” immediately pulled me up short. I mean… isn’t that famously Telemachus’s whole thing?

He’s mad Odysseyus’s son called him “Dad”, isn’t he.
