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.

Listening to a history podcast which keeps referring to the 1059 Papal Bull 'In nomine domini' and I'm just the right age to get this reverberating through my head

You've always been the caretaker. I should know. I've always been here, Charlie Brown.
My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius, father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife, and I will have my vengeance, Charlie Brown, in this life or the next.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.

all those moments will be lost in time. like tears in rain.

time to die, Charlie Brown

(government minister reading a report on the thousandth clinical drug trial of a pill that eliminates poverty, with a 100% success rate, that generates 10 times the value it costs to produce & makes government ministers public heroes) I don't understand, so the poor are made to suffer how, exactly?
There has literally never been a universal basic income trial program that didn't deliver real and measurable results above and beyond any other form of social welfare, and every time another concludes with the same findings the powers that be go "interesting! Anyway," and pretend it wouldn't work.

A nice piece about a favourite film; though wherever Joan and MacNeil of Kiloran (and the author, come to that) ended up, it wasn't in the Outer Hebrides!

“Women these days don’t want to have children.”

Well, we don’t actually know if women in the past wanted to. Nobody asked them, least of all their husbands.

One of the strangest aspects of aging that they don't warn you about is watching as history gets rewritten right in front of your face and people 20 years younger than you confidently tell you about something you lived through and get it completely wrong.
