Charlotte (Charles) d'Éon de Beaumont (1728 – 1810), usually known as the Chevalière d'Éon or the Chevalier d'Éon, was a French diplomat, spy, and soldier. D'Éon fought in the Seven Years' War, and spied for France while in Russia and England. #CelebratingWomen

This is where being given a nickname at school that stuck to the point of your citizen name not feeling real any more helps. "Ian" is a cover identity.

FOOTFALL, cumming soon.

Breaking Bad is flawed but the flaw isn't "Walter White is a monster and some people didn't understand that".

Those people are fucking idiots.

4pm today on BBC Radio 4 Extra it’s the repeat of my adaptation of Iain M. Banks’ The State of the Art, with Sir Antony Sher as the ship. So proud of this amazing production by @nadiamolinari.bsky.social

A Lot (TM) is going on, but again, since no news about anywhere but England tends to reach the UK, racism is shutting universities down in Scotland. All those folk who told me No True Scot, it's All English people, come get your wee yins.

Have you noticed a trend of people speaking to total strangers in semiliterate prompts?

Like, someone going "what make car go" or "game name give name of game" etc

It's because they forgot that a human normally responds to stuff like that with "jesus christ dude"

I always suspected that having two Cyber trucks in close proximity would create some sort of fiery rift in the fabric of spacetime.

People Are Calling Meta Ray-Bans "Pervert Glasses" On Bluesky, users quickly embraced the term "pervert glasses" to refer to Meta's Ray Ban smart glasses, following a shocking investigation.

Make it stick.

Man some people's inability to conceive of a theory of mind is stunningly clear, and furthermore, their own self-mapping is rigid, & they can't concieve of difference and variety -- only other.

You see this in the way they structure their verbiage. Because there *is* structure, even in 'word-salad'

'CHRISTIAN, n. One who believes that the New Testament is a divinely inspired book admirably suited to the spiritual needs of his neighbor. One who follows the teachings of Christ in so far as they are not inconsistent with a life of sin.'

- Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary, 1911

My guy was basically Hackman from The Conversation.

Bigotry.

Oh that's right, we went entirely off piste after DG betrayed us and now lead a Carcosan infiltration of the sites we built, by just forcing Yellow Signs on key personnel.

We loved it as far as we got, it went on hiatus. Where we left it, we had built two concentric SCP Foundations within DG.

Goodnight from the all-night sausage stall on Ashcourt’s Markham Street, where gossip about the Smiling Man is an engine of shudders. Goodnight from The Half Moon, where Joxy Collins is convinced the stuffed crow perching on its walnut bar just blinked and cawed at him. Goodnight from Hookland.

It's always funny what gets left out of "tradition" and "the West"

Mesopotamia: Reams of poetry written by a trans woman, epic about trauma, grief and failure.

Greece: Queer loss and the futile brutality of war, societies brought to ruin by aristocratic pride. Also everything Sappho wrote.

Amon also laid out why he was “bullish” on smart glasses, saying they were “close to our eyes, close to our ears, close to our mouth, we’re going to have those agentic experiences and workloads.” “Agentic” refers to AI applications that can carry out tasks on users’ behalf autonomously. Device makers have talked up a world where users may be able to ask their AI agents to call a cab or book a hotel. The things users once did on their phones and laptops will shift to other devices like smart glasses, Amon said. He likened the current state of smart glasses to the early days of smartphones when there were far fewer apps available.

Again, I think it’s an explicit shift that tech folks now openly say they want to see and hear everything you do and track you everywhere you go. Of course, they have been attempting this for a long time, but they mainly tried to hide this rather than state it as the explicit goal.

there is a public sign that has a holder to put the poster in and this poster is twice the size of the holder. The sign says "SHIT" and it is outside the holder because it's too big. and it continues to say "it doesn't fit" and then it's an ad for metamucil (I can't read the rest)
