Well I’ve spent the whole of #NorEng drawing the three English lions on a tote bag, time well spent even if we don’t win

New 3-minute rule. Sorry, Tom Holland

Hot take: "Holding Out for a Hero" is a much better song than "Total Eclipse of the Heart" (both are great).

oh no i cant believe it but it looks like donald trump inserted himself into a story captivating the worlds attention, overshadowing a unifying event with overt corruption, in an attempt to seize attention and credit for himself

I have such an expertly curated algorithm that I'm seeing posts from Mexican street food restaurants in the US and this is how they're advertising the game tomorrow night. "Good vibes"

You will not guess who this is referring to

A lost hiker is on one side of a raging river when he sees a Buddhist monk on the other side. There are no bridges. He has no boat. He shouts out to the monk on the opposite bank, 'How do I get to the other side?' The monk shouts back: 'You are on the other side!'

Boy I don’t like that the only economy that anyone seems to be able to conceive of in the anglophone sphere is “what if we go back a hundred years”. I like my desk job and I think everyone should be able to have one, come up with a plan for that.

She said he didn’t even notice until he got back to the US and saw that the church door had been forced open.

do you wanna tell math-based ghost-stories, or is the poor little baby 2²

A strategy indistinguishable from sabotage.

This Danville, VA city council candidate made a very dramatic video about sidewalks and public safety, and I love it and him. Worrying about a possible milkshake duck situation, I looked at his FB page, but he seems ok. Juneteenth celebrations, community outreach, Methodists. A solid old gent.

Confused scatology with eschatology. It's shitty, but it's not the end of the world.

A lot of people don't realise this but in the UK we have to replace our Prime Minister every two or three years or else the rights revert back to Marvel

This is the way. “Di Mino used Claude Code to build a suite of Python scripts that query, cross-reference, and organize the digitized Linear A corpus … enabling systematic hypothesis testing at a scale that would have been impractical to do manually.” aiclambake.com/clamtakes/li...
