I think being on a cruise ship with him, out in the middle of the ocean, would fix me.

So I hate being stuck on an AI project at work for the obvious reasons like "tech employees are being ground to dust to create product that kills the environment, costs people their jobs, steals people's work, and makes everyone actively dumber. for profit."

But also there is a real absurdist element to it all like.

Prior to this I worked on a client-side commenting feature. If there was a bug reported it would always come down to like "oh oops the overflow style isn't being respected on Safari" or "the user icon map isn't populating because the ID service is down." And then I'd go fix it.

In an AI project the bugs that roll in are like "AI is making up a person named Jeffrey who doesn't exist" "AI is acting like I have a manager who has never worked at this company." Like I don't fucking know man. Exorcise it I guess.

Adar had to die because if he, Gil-Galad and Elendil were all in Middle Earth at the same time there would have simply been too much Dad Energy ™️ for the populace to handle. They would have defeated Sauron through sheer “I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed” force alone.

Like most wrasses, all of the younger individuals are females, that become male later in life (protogynous hermaphrodite).

Look. I am tired of catching strays on this. If you're going to invoke the Secret Fourth Sherlock Episode in relation to your own fandom's unhinged post-finale copium behavior, you need to know your fandom history.

Specifically, you need to realize that the origin of the Secret Fourth Episode idea came from a BFI screening Q&A -- specifically a journalist (for RadioTimes, unless my memory fails me) asking the showrunners about the possibility of a Secret Fourth Episode. The Q&A where this hypothesis was first floated took place three days before the finale had actually aired. In response to this question, the showrunners laughed and denied it, but joked that the hypothetical episode could be called "The Lost Special", a reference to The Story of the Lost Special, a crypto-Holmesian detective story about a missing train written by Conan Doyle during the hiatus between The Final Problem and The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Again: the hypothetical fourth Sherlock episode had been given a title by the showrunners three days before anyone except a screening audience had even seen the third episode. The idea, outlandish as it was, had originated with a question from a professional media beat reporter. The answer to that question was one of the few tidbits from the Q&A granted immediate release and not embargoed until after the episode aired.

In the lead up to the finale, this was absolutely mystifying information to receive -- why on earth would a journalist be asking about a secret fourth episode??? After seeing the finale (first when a leaked Russian dub was inexplicably shared by official BBC accounts for some fucking reason, then the official broadcast), the idea that they were attempting to prime hardcore fans for some kind of insane media stunt became one possible explanation.

All this to say: I was there, Gandalf. I watched the premiere of Apple Tree Yard with the best of them, feeling like a lunatic before, during, and after. There was a thread of reasoning that led us there, however tenuous, and it turns out watching a random show that is definitely not a Secret Sherlock Fourth Episode while feeling like a lunatic is still a pretty harmless place to be led in order to rule out a tenuous hypothesis about a tv show.

But if your other fandom's finale debacle doesn't even have a hypothetical title for its secret episode direct from a showrunner's mouth announced three days before you have any reason to think there might be a need for one, your fandom has less a foundation than any Secret Sherlock Fourth Episode theorists did.

Jerk Ford AU: From the Trenches

One night on the deck of the Stan O'War-II

Stan: Sure is a nice night, huh Poindexter?

Stanford: I buried myself once.

Stan: —...

Stanford: Another version of me. He was already long dead when his distress signal pinged me, and I buried him after looting his corpse. *Thousand yard stare*

Stan: Stanford—

Stanford: And I kept thinking; is that going to be me?

Stan: Stanford—

Stanford: *crying* Am I going to die out here? Am I never going to get home and get buried in some random dimension where no one I know or love is—?

Stan: Stanford! Hey, hey— look at me. You're here now. You made it home. You made it.
