I’m reading, and reviewing, all the Doctor Who BBC Books novels! Here’s the launch title: The Eight Doctors. Getting series legend Terrance Dicks to spin a yarn with lots of Docs is a great way to start. Right? neilisthebestdalek.blogspot.com/2024/07/doctor…

@okeechoBree Can always try the “throw entire self as if projectile” manoeuvre. I tend to call it the Rueben Cannon because that’s a random credit on The A-Team and they do that lots.

@Garferty I use the double fist on cardboard at work all the time but the limited effectiveness only fuels my doubts

@tjbierschbach One guy pointed at a ticket and went, see? That would have taken me all morning. Oh no! Spending time to ensure your work is of good quality! And feeling fulfilled at a job well done afterwards! Oh NO!

@tjbierschbach I keep hearing that it’ll save time. Okay: for what? More of this? Am I then getting into an endless loop of asking it to do my work and then spell checking? At what point do your employers figure out they can live with half-assed output and stop paying you. I mean come on.

@MatthewStadlen Kind of feel like there are rules against doing important things for an incentive like this? Ah well, it’s probably nothing.

Nigel Farage says he was given £5 million as a “reward for campaigning for Brexit for 27 years”. Definitely a man of the people.

@okeechoBree I remember it being a thing (How To Walk Thriugh A Door maybe?) and I don’t recall there being an official reason for not going ahead.

So many extremely boring “but why didn’t character simply do the thing perfectly?” responses about The Boys today. What a dull way to watch a story.

The comedians job is not only to lift a mirror up to society but lift a mirror up to Yo mama. Even if it takes a thousand men to lift the worlds largest mirror.

@KrynoidRoots They were trying things out, so it’s to be expected really. Some of the more standardised animation later on is perhaps worse in its own way.

🚨BREAKING🚨 Keir Starmer once reclined his seat on a short-haul flight. In other news Nigel Farage has received a £5m gift, a house, helicopter flights, a Maldives trip and been accused of throwing an election for £1m. Here's Sam Coates with more on the reclined seat scandal.

It is, actually, paying a company to do the work of writing an essay for you. The notion that using AI to write a college essay isn’t plagiarism and cheating is just ridiculous.
Heidi N. Moore@moorehn

An MIT writing professor on his students using AI: "I realized that for the first time as a writing professor, I had to deal with students producing words without work, which wasn’t quite plagiarism and wasn’t quite paying for someone else to do the job, but it felt like a kind of naive chicanery; a perversion of the contract between writer and reader." theguardian.com/us-news/ng-int…

This might seem like a game to you. My daughter has leukemia. She is absolutely dependent on the NHS. 'Journalists' paving the way for a Reform government, whilst this Labour government is committed to preserving it, stops me sleeping at night.
Lewis Goodall@lewis_goodall

So 100ish vs 80ish, with over 200 MPs as yet undeclared. But the magic number to activate a contest is 80. Whether the 80 would actively pull the trigger at this point now is another question.

#Cannes jury member Demi Moore says we need to "find ways" to work with AI: "Against-ness breeds against-ness. AI is here. So to fight it is to fight a battle that we will lose. So to find ways that we can work with it is a valuable path that we can take."

@okeechoBree I remember The Talisman being a bit insubstantial for a long one, but it rollicked along.

However this not insubstantial stack awaits me before the third book comes out in fall. I have the fear. IT took me 2 months last summer 💀

@okeechoBree Ooh, we’ve got similar-ish book shelves. Read Hell House, THOHH and TWIB. Got Butter and Babel, and a different Murakami stashed.
