@Erased_Citizen less confusing to me than the offside rule

@Nickiquote why do people keep adapting Wuthering Heights? Is there some desire to permanently change it into a love story when it isn't one?

Both cats are back on the legs. Sando trilled his please-wash-me-I'm-forever-kitten at Spig who proceeded to wash him. Now I'm waiting to see if they start wrestling, which is usually what this becomes. Maybe not though.

For years I've wanted them to cuddle me when I slept but they're so much

I've shifted and now Spiegel has taken over the pillow and is purring. Glad someone's happy

@IanAMartin I wouldn't call that daft. Them slowly pushing you to the side maximized their space but still allowed them to access your heat. If you'd fallen off the bed entirely you would've woken up and got back into bed. No downsides from their end.

I only had one cat a time, before the shitheads. And they're both much bigger than my previous cats.

They've piled themselves onto my legs, which is cute except my ankle hurts and they're 26 lbs combined. I'd have insomnia regardless but they aren't helping

My cats really like sleeping on my bad ankle. I assume they can sense it, just like how Spiegel knows how to step on my tits for maximum pain, and chooses to do so

@britt my brain associates these with hungry hungry hippos. Maybe the postures, and also that they're obviously hungry

@IanAMartin One time I went to Catfe and one of the cats sat on my lap, and everyone else in the room was so jealous. I had been chosen.

Usually the cats ignored me when I went, because they are cats after all.

Hope they allow you in their presence.

I'll probably have more useful things to say about the novel tomorrow. It's labeled as speculative fiction by some but there is actual scifi in it

@DJDarren Arr.

Some irony in that part of the story takes place in London.

I just finished this book: Where the Axe is Buried by Ray Nadler. This is going to be one of those I recommend to people, not because it’s fun but because it’s important.

@dyckron right, because if they don't know anything you don't have to pay them as much, which is the most important thing

@dyckron "A partner at the consultancy KPMG has been fined for using artificial intelligence to cheat during an internal training course on AI." You'd think that would be an automatic pass

@dyckron the economy is only "growing" because of the AI corporation circle jerk. Remove that and it's a recession. Why do journalists keep ignoring the obvious and call it a mystery?

@dyckron someone on here needs to yell "bingo" for predicting this the other day
