There is a great joy in hearing Clive Myrie enunciate the name of J. Peasmould Gruntfuttock.
"Oh, The Problem of Susan!" said Jill. "It was interested in nothing except cheap shocks and a sex scene. Neil was always a jolly sight too keen on seeming grown-up." "Grown-up indeed," said the Lady Polly. "I wish it _had_ been grown-up."
Watching the Prince Charming video on #TotP. Me: this is such a good video. 30 seconds pass. Me, again: Of course, it's also batshit as fuck.
"the assessment did not consider the crocodiles" is my new metaphor for people choosing to just ignore the data point that doesn't agree with them
Tom Roberts@tpgroberts.bsky.social · 3w agoNow, just personally, I would have considered the crocodiles
Things I was frightened of as a child: Nuclear war Volcanoes Meteors (this and the previous are a cautionary tale about buying science books for your children) Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds The dark Doing something wrong and getting in trouble
Celestial M Weasel@celestialweasel.bsky.social · 4w agoThings I was frightened of as a child: Upsetting people (not that anything bad would happen if I did) Nuclear War (promoted by seeing On The Beach and reading A Canticle for Leibowitz at too young an age) Death and therefore oblivion or eternity Captain Pike (disabled version in The Menagerie)
PAUL: What’s in the box? REVEREND MOTHER: Pain. [PAUL hesitantly puts his hand in the BOX, then FROWNS IN CONFUSION. He pulls out A BAGUETTE.] REVEREND MOHER: Hōn hōn,

I always thought it was weird in the Potter books that magical ability was the result of an immutable biological characteristic rather than wait sorry hang on there's a Russian gentleman here trying to draw my attention to a wall-mounted firearm of some sort

Autism and ADHD have many things in common, among them is this: Both are defined not by how people who have them experience them, but by the features of them that annoy neurotypicals. So of course research is focused on eradication, because who wouldn't want to be rid of annoyingness?
Fergus Murray@oolong.co.uk · last mo.It's depressing to me that whenever this comes up, I see a load of griping about how this is diverting funds from REAL autism research, like… genetic studies aimed at preventing us from existing. I'm begging anyone posting about this to listen to what autistic people need. bsky.app/profile/oolo...
