  1. I am feeling way peevish today.

    First peeve: The BBfuckingC &/or Brtibox. 1. They have the whole of British TV forever and there's so much good stuff they could show but choose not to. 2. If they're going to run a show, run the whole fucking show! WTF with airing a season of Pointless, for example, and then skipping a couple of years and running another season? 3. Also WTF with filming things and then not running them, even in the UK, for a year or more? How long ago did Moonflower Murders finish filming, for instance? 4. And why don't you announce when things are going to air more than 3 days in advance? 5. Dearest Beeb...why won't you sell TV licenses to people outside of the UK? I would be happy to buy one just to feed my quiz show addiction without having to run a VPN to get into iplayer, especially since it rarely works for me, or rely on the kindness of YT strangers/official feeds that cut up quiz shows that should run sequentially, like Pointless. I don't want to watch selected games from season 5 or whatever, I want to follow the contestants and see who stays and who goes. And with ROHOG...it's UK celebrities, do you expect to open up vast foreign markets for this? 6. Britbox, where the hell are the other Gardeners' World specials?! GAH!!!

    Second peeve: what's with the dill pickle shortage in Connecticut?

  2. The library I work in has a chatbot that is not restricted to people affiliated with the university. At certain times of the year we get a lot middle and high schoolers using it and when it's an actual reference question I am happy to answer (for some reason primary sources for eras of American history are popular). But when the conversation starts with "hi!" I'm poised to block the IP.

  3. I meant to come back after the writers' strike questions were done but keep forgetting to check YT for J! in the evenings. By morning it's too late. I did catch one episode of the second chance tournament. It all feels sort of underwhelming now.
