I had genuinely forgotten about it.
“It tasted like angry Marmite, I hated it, and I didn’t order anything else for many years because I’d got served that one time and didn’t want to break my streak.”
Thread. :/
Don’t know about Netflix, but the Shout and Crunchyroll apps don’t bother with timing their ad cuts. Shout got uninstalled after about ten minutes due to that.

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.
There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.
Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."
TURN IT OFF.
Thei wante us talkinge alone on our phones to a demon thei created, and not goinge places and being wyth each othir yn art and joy and communitye. Thei want cinemas to shut downe, and broadwaye to go darke. Thei want wryteres to stop writinge. Thei want to sell us hell and have us pay for it.
Not a replay, but the pyramid dungeon in FFV is top spot right now. That or Monstro in Kingdom Hearts.
A little closer now - best of luck! :)
Whatever you want it to be in your heart.
How did it take 20+ years for me to recognise the Akira slide there? …it may be time for another re-watch.
“Did you say THAT human or that HUMAN…? Oh, never mind, I’ll figure it out.” Absolute favourite episode of the entire run.
I ended up taking the battery out of mine for this and ‘the alarm goes off when it wants’.
Image: A mother, daughter and young son queue up to borrow books they have chosen from the well-stocked shelves. The figure at the desk gesticulates wildly while saying: "Wake up, people!! The state is lending you these books to blunt your natural acquisitive urges and keep you compliant!" Caption: Due to a typo in the job listing, the vacancy at the public library was filled by a libertarian.

A tufted titmouse, up close, perched on a needled evergreen branch in a delicate, light snow. The tuft is up, a little. The gray-and-white bird has a warming sunset hint under its wings. Its beak is black and short, like a black sunflower seed. The bird looks impudent. Annoyed by your presence. That's all right. Humans have not done much to earn the favor of birds these days though to be fair, the bird is there because there is a bird feeder nearby, so a little gratitude would be nice, bird. It's fine. It's fine! Maybe the bird isn't annoyed. But the bird is definitely annoyed. Photo by me, Chuck Wendig
Things are weird and bad so here, stop and take a bird break. Here's a bird. Look at it. REGARD THE BIRD.

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
They try to pet a kelpie, which goes about as well as you’d expect.
Star Trek Voyager scene. It's a romantic evening on the streets of a charming little town with I'm sure a folksy name like 'Fair Haven' or something. Harold Kim, dressed in an overcoat, leans in with a full heart and closed eyes and kisses a large black and white Holstein cow right on the mouth. Two closed captions are simultaneously present: On Harry's side of the screen the caption reads, "(gasps)" and on the cow side of the screen the caption reads, "(moos)".
If you begin Star Trek: Voyager episode Spirit Folk at exactly 11:49:35 on New Year's Eve, Ensign Harry Kim will kiss a cow as the clock strikes midnight. Join in our very dumb annual tradition and start 2025 off on the right hoof.
UK WRITERS: You need to fill in this consulation. Govt is very clearly looking to an opt-out model of rights licensing that puts all the burden on creators instead of profiteers. It's long and boring but this is important.

Correction in The Guardian newspaper
It's nearly time to reveal my Quote Of The Year 🥳
In preparation, here's last year's one: a corker, from The Guardian 🤣
Perfection.
Mama capybara next to a bowl of salad where a little baby capybara is standing like it doesn't give a flip
important announcement: there is a new baby capybara at the San Antonio Zoo named Tupi. i would lay down my life for Tupi
Screenshot: they put Christmas sweater on the t-rex at the national history museum in London and it's ridiculous and adorable
Aww. *waves tiny arms*
My son and I just binged it and it was great. It's like having the Mirror Universe flavor of Star Trek applied to Star Wars, but with even more bonkers changes! A complete delight and if that doesn't get you, these three words should:
Darth Jar Jar.
The fact that Disney bought Star Wars and bought the Muppets and haven’t done a Muppets Star Wars is a crime.
Writers: yes, you are still a "real" writer if you
- have never published anything
- have no readers
- didn't write anything this month
- didn't write anything this year
- can't articulate words anymore
- can only float and mournfully wail
- were murdered ten years ago on this very spot
A medieval lady says: -And I want armor for the cat. -But lady, that.. -Do I speak Chinese or what? I said armor for the cat.
