I remember when PS2 launched there was all this bullshit hype about how you couldn’t buy more than 2 of them because the processor was powerful enough to run a guided missile system. I know this raises many, many questions, but that’s just what people were saying in 2000.

It’s totally anecdotal but I did hear it directly from a shelter.

Apparently, shelters are jam-packed with black cats right now. People don’t want them because they don’t show up very well in photos and therefore can't be exploited for Instagram clout.

The Y2K bug was a real thing. It didn’t have any dramatic effects because there was a global Herculean effort to upgrade systems and mitigate damage. There’s a parallel between Y2K and coronavirus, with people in less badly affected regions saying, “clearly Covid-19 isn’t that bad, I mean look at all those empty…

Genuinely in awe of anyone who made it to the end of Sucker Punch.

They all died in the incinerator at the end of TS3. The rescue and reunion with Andy was a fever dream, exactly like the end of Brazil.

There was a Vine 2 recently but it vanished because everyone is on TikTok

No, lots of British publications who should know better have referred to him as British. It's a never-ending problem.

If she wants to be British, it’s simple. Just become Irish and enjoy some degree of success. This method worked for everyone from U2 to “British actor Paul Mescal”.

It used to be about someone mixing records while working class kids on MDMA tried to chew their own faces off. Good times.

Oh, I didn’t realise it was set in the Spaceballs universe. I might see it now.

Ah, fair point. Well the second book is massively better than the first, so hopefully the second season will pick up a bit.
