Any pronouns, but she/her if you like me.

@postoctobrist The definition of cities is really weird. As much as I respect Leighton Buzzard, Newport Pagnell, Maltby, and Hebden Bridge, they are not cities by any definition I recognise.

@MatthewSitman My favourite thing I ever read in a horoscope: Marx said that "religion is the opium of the masses," or did he say it was the "opium of the people?" Nobody knows because he said it in German.

@JDHamkins How non-trivial?
Cycle free graphs where every vertex has degree 2 seems a bit pathetic but doesn't have QE. Mod (T) is also totally ordered which makes it less interesting.

@daveanthony Newsom's objection to Trump's fascism is that it comes from East Coast new money rather than West Coast old money, and is thus, gauche. He is, by inclination, an American von Stauffenberg.

@daveweigel The pick of the bunch for me was a scene from a vampire movie where the reflection had been digitally edited out, along with a posed question like "movie mistake or clever hint?" I have a pet theory that these are mostly spat out by chatGPT

@Devon_OnEarth What this tells me is that Twilight is popular among people who have too much respect for Canon, a few Jacob die-hards, and the gays.

@who_shot_jgr The two explanations I've heard that I have the most sympathy with.
1. Logistics: it doesn't travel well, and America is big.
2. Standardisation: there is more natural variation in a live beer, so is harder to create a standardised brand around. Then gesture at monopolisation.

@julianfeeld The arguments around abolition of the monarchy are so prosaic. People will sit around quibbling about tourism revenues, while studiously ignoring the fact that their very existence is morally indefensible.

@punished_stu The shutdown has delayed payment of my grant to start the Continuity SLA, sorry

@EATCOBB @MatthewSitman That at least overlaps a fair bit with category 3. My reduction of the West Coast Straussian position being that: despotism is defined by big government; big government is inherently progressive

@Milo_Edwards Adam Sandler in Uncut Gems losing his mind because he only went down the log flume at Chessington World of Adventures.

@Milo_Edwards Getting really into posting about the decline of third spaces, but about Paddy Power. Farage standing alone in his kitchen watching the King's Speech on Christmas Day, holding an incorrectly filled out accumulator for a day in July '23 at Newmarket.

@PeckingOrder03 He says GPT likes its a new sort of French train

@Milo_Edwards It comes from a mixture of wanting the visceral satisfaction of seeing the transgressor punished and feeling like that Xbox with an N64 controller has been ripped out of the grasping hands of their own awful children.

@Devon_OnEarth There's also the bizarre Crash Bandicoot ranking of Platinum, Gold, Sapphire. Sapphire isn't a metal, it's not even an element. Baffling things occurring at Naughty Dog.

@ettingermentum It's what Labour have been doing in the UK.
You take 'the public will,' as determined from looking at a collection of unreliable issue polling, to be immutable terrain, or perhaps a slowly undulating ocean. Your only role is to astutely position yourself within this terrain.

@KillJamesBond I remain convinced that it would be better with whisky, otherwise you'll have too much separation in the flavours
