Shoosht... I'm seeing if I can use it to recreate The Hay Wain.

No, really, I was. Compare and contrast...






It's a bit "expressionistic".

You did a good job trying to recreate it, but yours is a bit too small.

That is more fun than it has a right to be. I wish I had the bottle to buy and give some of the selections.


I have heard through the grapevine that the poxy landlord of my last flat has had not one, but two possible sales of the flat I was turfed out of fall through! I know I shouldn't feel happy about this with the silly season upon us, but I can't help but feel that maybe, just maybe, there's a bit of justice in the world after all.

I had some fun clicking on that and getting results like "tanned ferret-hides", and now I'm getting auto-emails (which, I realize I can switch off) saying "Hey! Are you still interested in those tanned ferret-hides?"

Whoever's selling those must be super excited to see someone browsing.

Biden and Harris are Time's Person(s) of the Year.  And Trump was jealous when a teenaged girl got it. I've given up the pretence that I'm not enjoying the schadenfreude. For a man who seems to hate losers so much, he's been doing a LOT of losing lately.

I explained the concept of Occam's Razor to my daughter the other day, and she's since referenced it back to me a couple of times - but has forgotten the name, so instead opted for both "Feldon's Puzzle" and "Glandorf's Mindsweeper".

Thanks to Neal Stephenson, I have to resist calling it Gardan's Steelyard.

Have you heard of Newton's Flaming Lazer Sword? That which cannot be settled by experiment is not worth debating.

So named because although it can be very effective, it's also quite dangerous, especially in the wrong hands.

How to reconcile the pure nerd joy of watching the Starship SN-8 test with daily reinforcement of the fact that Musk is a bona-fide c*nt.

Sinister Dexter predicted the virtual-actors trend. Im sure nobody pointed that out before.

I'd have to check dates but I'd put Gibson's "Idoru" ahead of Sin / Dex on that score ...
