Unsolicited IDIC pic.

Close up of a blue star trek TOS dress uniform with an IDIC pin: a metal circle with an off-centre hole. In the centre of the hole is a gem, which is at the tip of a metal triangle transecting the circle.

Half the ads on social media look like viral marketing for a Black Mirror episode.

"Loyaltyous" advert. Christmas tree with an orb bauble showing video. "Now you can hang all of your Core Memories on your tree this year".

Even its plagues were half-hearted. All self-respecting river kingdoms have vast supernatural plagues, but the best the Old Kingdom had been able to achieve in the last hundred years was the Plague of the Frog*.

*It was quite a big frog, however, and got into the air ducts and kept everyone awake for weeks.

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 1d

Here’s a primer on ‘primer.’

It’s pronounced ‘PRIMM-er’ if you mean “a small book” or “a short informative piece of writing.”

It’s pronounced ‘PRY-mer’ if you mean “an initial coat of paint.”

As AI gets more realistic, reality heads in the opposite direction. It's niche differentiation.

To be fair I didn't like Tron Legacy either, but at least they got him back!

I was a fan of the original #Tron in tbe 80s and (perversely for such a visual film) devoured the novelisation by Brian Daley, which I found incredibly satisfying. I read it multiple times.

And yet somehow I have absolutely no interest in the new one. Is it me or is it them? Who knows.

Surprised by the news MTV is closing in the UK, not least because I haven’t watched it, thought about it, or had any awareness it still existed since 1998.
