normally Guardian cartoons aren't that great but this one is accurate. only missing the part in my experience where the box of rubbish makes it but I've lost all my degree certificates and some very precious jewellery as well www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

couldn't agree more. I think some of the Barbara Vine novels especially stand up against any "literary fiction"

this is ridiculous. you should care about trans rights a/ for the same reason the far-right want to remove them - because they want to attack things like bodily autonomy for everyone, and they're starting with trans people because people like you don't care - and b/ because its the right thing to do

the thing is, right, that *I* knew this was going to happen, and I'm dyscalculic and have absolutely no conception of or understanding of economics and the nearest I've ever got to knowing what the stock market is is watching Industry and the Big Short. so what is his excuse

I also have all the diaries and a couple of the special things like Where's My Cow, of course I kept those. I did donate the Science of Discworld books but again have Kindle copies. I only have one signed one. But yes.

I have to admit that when decluttering I only kept the first 20 or so for the original Josh Kirby covers. ( and the kids' ones that have them too) plus all Tiffany Aching cos I couldn't not. But I only donated the others after making sure I have Kindle copies of all

Daughter of Robin Williams, Zelda Williams 💔
zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross. And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.
