@ruemaleficent "I know it's common advice for people to give out a fake number if they don't want to give their actual one but the fact of the matter is that you don't know whose life you're going to fuck with if you do that. There are so many ways that can go wrong."
Like the phone number of the flat in Islington used in the original radio version of #HHGG - legend has it that this was altered to a harmless number for book/film/telly/etc versions.

So that's this afternoon wasted.

I'm trying to be more social and invite more spontaneity and serendipity into my life (mostly because I like S-words?), therefore...
if anyone would be interested in hopping into a brief audio call sometime to talk about any of the geeky topics below, totally informal and improvised, let me know! We could do it cameras off via Signal or Google Meet. We could limit it to 2 to 4-5 folks at once. I would herd the cats.

@NickEast_IndieWriter @armandoFemat @bookstodon @books For #HHGG the best version is the original radio version - it's not fair to compare the book or TV or film adaptations.

My default reference for all things Robin Hood is usually Robin of Sherwood (it's as 'historically accurate' as any other version :-) ). This will make an interesting contrast.

Deep Shat:
An "AI" mind *ostensibly* like Deep Thought (from the HHGG novels of Douglas Adams) but manifested in the more humble and pragmatic form of a 2025-era FAANG-style LLM chatbot.
If anyone would like to give me ONE MILLION DOLLARS to build it I'd gladly take your money!

@danish_akhtar7 sounds like a setup for Golgafrinchan Ark Fleet Ship B https://hitchhikers.fandom.com/wiki/Golgafrinchan_Ark_Fleet_Ship_B
Beyond yeeting supernumerary people into space it also removes long term thinking, which would have a lot of financial motivation.
So, the probability of falsification is non zero and skepticism would be advised whether NASA or any other agency.

Ah, the Yorkshire Vogon Clan - they're the worst of all. The same mind scrambling poetry but with brass band music in the background - truly evil.

In case anyone else is painting on wplace.live, some #HHGG fans are drawing a whale and petunias just north of Taunton in the west country. We're mainly organised through the Heart of Gold server (invite at top of r/HItchhikersGuide).

So useful. Protection. Disguise. Weapon. Food. Comfort. You can dry yourself off. Keeps you warm. Keeps the sun off you. And you can use it to 'do an ostrich'.

How Douglas Adams predicted the future 🐬
Always a reluctant prophet, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy author nevertheless foresaw such innovations as social media and chatbots
"Douglas Adams: The Man Who Imagined Our Future" is on Sky Arts on March 27 at 8pm 📺

Go grab your towels for day 4 of the #MusicAdventCalendar
It's the Journey of the Sorcerer, originally by The Eagles, but made (more?) famous by a story about a certain intergalactic repository of all wisdom and knowledge.
