Even more excited that my evenings previous plans fell through.

Had an event I really didn’t want to go to tonight, but now everyone else had to drop out. I can’t describe how good this feels. I can’t stop smiling.

All caught up on Peacemaker. Vigilante continues to steal every scene with a special call out for Judomaster.

Now I’m just thinking of other random British sitcoms that KQED and KVIE used to air. Are You Being Served comes to mind. I remember a sequel where the store employees buy a farm maybe? Something like that.

As a kid who didn’t have cable growing up so had to watch a lot of PBS, the passing of Patricia Routledge from Keeping Up Appearances hits hard.

Glad to see Stephanie Cole from Waiting for God is still with us.

what's the stupidest/randomest Simpsons quote that lives in your head rent free? Mine is the urge to say "you said go to bread" every time I am about to head to bed.

This whole section really.

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job.
AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

This Bake Off signature challenge is driving me nuts. Those aren’t flapjacks, I don’t care what they say.

I just wanna say that if anyone wants to hire me for a full time gig, I’m a pretty good illustrator.

I’ve won a Hugo and have a bestselling book on Amazon.

So, y’know… just keep me in mind, or something.
