@batterpunts yeah I know, seems like a good opportunity to do it with the most batshit throw-everything-together one of all

@batterpunts i’m sort of interested to see if it can even be enjoyed as a stand-alone thing or whether the creators have totally given up on the idea of films as individual units

just found out arthur chu blocks me on twitter, and I’ve absolutely no idea why. I don’t think I’ve ever interacted with him, or even mentioned him? Do people block based on what you fave or who you follow maybe?

@enkiv2 was it @aeonofdiscord ? I know they’re big into it

@envgen james: natural dad

i’m thinking about an experiment. i’ve never seen any MCU films. What if i go watch infinity war with no background, what would that be like?

that’s something I was utterly wrong about as a child, I thought warhammer classic fantasy was a better aesthetic than 40k. Fantasy was the laziest cod-Tolkien + lovecraft imaginable, 40k actually had some decent original ideas

@jk if you run a games workshop your name must be either utterly banal or so artificially baroque as to come out banal again, like that guy called ‘space’ who used to write for white dwarf

@jk exactly that

my middle name is kenneth and I had an all-goblin army, success very dependent on squig hopper rolls

@memhaz also broken

oh god I bet I'll love Ready Player One 2000

colleague: I'm going to Marseille for a mini-break this weekend

@iona I didn't realise how weird this was until I learned that non-British English speakers often have a hard time parsing our headlines on first pass. i thought that was strange, then I looked again and thought "wait, this is nuts"
e.g.

has anybody wedgied mark zuckerburg yet?

the BBC's obsessive scare-quoting finally necessary

I guess pure mathematicians can be characterised as those who prefer the map to the territory
#makeuthink

@jk
tired: the map is not the territory
borges: the map is a 1:1 replica of the territory
