Always had that gut feeling about pure #evil in the world #stephenfry said it best: ‘Beware of the three Cs whom will benefit most of technological progress: Countries (ie nation states who want power and natural resources), Corporations (who want money and influence) and Criminal Organizations (who want to have an edge no matter the cost)’

TIL that Oxford and Bosphorus mean the same thing.

Reading #Mythos by #StephenFry. Recommended. Never too late to have a bit of classical education.

(OK, so Wikipedia says it is a "folk etymology", the origin of the name Bosp(h)orus is not necessarily βοῦς 'ox, cattle' + πόρος 'passage', thus 'cow crossing'. But still a fun factoid.)

Musk and Zuckerberg have 'polluted culture'

“Meta boss Mark #Zuckerberg and X owner Elon #Musk are "the worst polluters in human history", #StephenFry has said.

The actor and comedian made the claim during a lecture at Kings College, London.

"You and your children cannot breathe the air or swim in the waters of our culture without breathing in the toxic particulates and stinking effluvia that belch and pour unchecked from their companies into the currents of our world," he said of the pair.

It's late, so this has to be a quick one...

Today's random portfolio artwork is my painting of #Guanlong, for Mentorn TV's Dinosaur with Stephen Fry series.

I'm enjoying bingeing the audiobook versions of #HarryPotter narrated by #StephenFry. But the repetition of "eager" and "eagerly" from the text began to jar. 56 times in Order of the Phoenix, and 3 times in 2 sentences (with 4th on the next page) in Chapter 26. #books #edits
