Let me have books about me that are fat.
Tout passe, tout lasse, tout casse.
Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.

Responses beginning "So..." very commonly fail the waffle test, and this is no exception; the simplest response is to discourage the behaviour by pointing this out and muting.

Rick Wakeman to the audience when some of the keys on the elderly Bösendorfer we'd hired in started to stick:
"Let's see... There, the E above middle C. Okay, I'll try and avoid that one, then."
"Let's see... There, the E above middle C. Okay, I'll try and avoid that one, then."
IT are sending me an email to confirm the E has come off the keyboard. i love my life

In Japanese, "tsundoku" means collecting books and letting them pile up, not for neglect, but for the joy of knowing they're there, full of untold stories.

i remember when the computer still demanded blood. my dad's Tandy took a mere pinprick from your finger, which was a revolutionary advancement from the bulky machines of the 80's that required a thimbleful to access usenet for a day. that itself was an improvement on the pint needed to join ARPANET
Without revealing your actual age,what's something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand?

What I do appreciate about Trump is that every sincere answer does feel like a parody?
REPORTER: The Capital Planning Commission is concerned the 89,000 square foot ballroom is going to dwarf the rest of the rest of the WH. Do you worry about that?
TRUMP: No no. People love the ballroom. We need it. If we would've had the ballroom today, we could've had all the oil companies there.

So, today marks 10 years since the passing of Bowie.
It also marks 10 years since I put something on Twitter about it which resulted in me having to take a day off work, chase down various international media, get blocked by half of Australia, and end up the filling in a Kanye and Madonna sandwich.

Re-reading Doctor Dolittle as an adult [yeah, don't judge me] I was genuinely shocked when he sent his friend Gub-Gub, a sentient pig and a much-loved part of his household, to the butchers to get sausages
Feel like he’s breaking the 4th wall bc he realized this is kinda f’d up

I used to get my checked bags searched every single time I flew, they leave a little card saying they’ve done it, so finally I put a note in my bag asking why and they wrote on the card that carrying so many books on a flight is usually how people hide illegal amounts of cash
Bag got pulled by security at the airport so I told him before he opened it that I was carrying medicinal cannabis. 'Yeah, not bothered about that, it's your toothpaste' 🤪
