Using my knowledge of Latin I can translate unfamiliar French words. It clearly says that cigarettes cause crabs.

So you're not even reading the book, you're just getting a 12-minute AI summary. And you think you read 100 books a week because of that? Grim.

Oh god the one in that tweet is an AI summary app, that's somehow a thousand times worse than I thought.

I occasionally get ads for stuff like this where it's all "XYZ App helps me get through so many more books per week" and I'm just like . if you're trying to "get through" as many books as possible then I think we read books for fundamentally different reasons.

That whole final shot looks really odd because of how they've shaped the regeneration effect (which also confuses some of the colours) and the camera angle they've chosen, but I just don't think it's her face photoshopped onto his body like people claim.

That is a new neck, sorry (never thought I'd have to say those words)

I know people are adamant that it's Ncuti's neck, but I honestly think it's just a weird optical illusion. When you watch the actual clip, there are moments where it definitely looks like a continuation of her skin tone, and her throat moves in time to her breathing and speaking
Can’t believe this is a real shot from the show and not a parody. You can still see Ncuti’s neck ffs

Starlingsong before sunset (🔊)
On my run and walk this evening, I saw swans and swallows and starlings, a pied wagtail dancing among the horses, and a very sudden pheasant that must've wanted to test my heart.
