I've been reading Terry Pratchett's works and I think Night Watch is his best so far. Maybe Guards Guards is better... at least it's more fun. But Night Watch is brilliant.

The World Cup '94 was excellent. Why the hell is it so catastrophic now? Make a comparison.

I like this tweet. It's particular, small thought.

Maybe I'm just a weirdo but sometimes I think about dead technology while it's still alive. Every night, my watch takes a few minutes out of its little schedule and it starts to listen for a radio signal from its friends at the world's atomic time clocks. Eventually those signals will be shut down or upgraded in some way that fundamentally changes them so old receivers can no longer pick them up. There will come a night where this watch hears that signal for the last time ever. The watch has no way of knowing this is the final time, and it will keep listening for that series of pulses until it's no longer capable of listening. Because this watch is solar powered (and because it's a Casio so it'll live forever) some archaeologist hundreds of years from now could probably dig up my skeleton and take my watch and wear it for the rest of their life, forever wondering what that little "RC" message means at night.

My autistic ass can't handle sarcasm or rage bait. I make myself look so god damn silly. And the problem is within the words "make myself look" not "feel like"... "look like". I've tried to fit in so fifty god damn yeard, the fault is hardwired in to my thinking patterns.
