Baked beans can get to fuck.

Have some Wednesday Wisdom from @sonofbengt.bsky.social. Every. Single. One.

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

With the fuel duty rise being postponed again isn't it time that the OBR refuses to recognise and future tax increase until it actually happens. Every fiscal event it gets included as a budget measure and makes the books look better and time and time again it gets postponed.

This is rather brilliant - Having Super Mario Kart Racing in your own home, the live-action version. This course features collectible LEGO figures of Mario, Luigi and the gang. The creation is part of a Rube Goldberg-style machine featured by Joseph's Machines. #mario #lego #racing #fun

Why did Shokz move away from magnetic charging? I need to replace my OpenRun headphones after five years and USB-C charging along with reduced water resistance make me nervous.

And let's remember you have to be particularly bad to have resigned from Liz Truss' cabinet given her tenure was measured in days.

Half expecting "liar liar pants on fire" #TheTraitors

If you want to get into The Archers and haven’t listened before then The Archers: Truth and Lie is worth a listen. So many backstories being replayed www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Excellent Christmas jumper. #TheTraitors

What this actual highlights is that I’m more of a lurker than a participant

@profanity.accountant what’s the deal

In the trail for Question Time Fiona says there is nothing else like it. I guess no one mentioned Radio 4's Any Questions to her.

Really enjoyed this week's #HIGNFY Maisie Adam and Katherine Ryan both on top form.

Genuinely I would absolutely hate the producers if I was on #TheTraitors This mission is terrifying.

As we lose the final episodes of Doctors from BBC iPlayer what is really telling is how much drama especially UK originated has been lost from TV especially when you remember we lost Holby City and it's replacement is a few series of Waterloo Road and that last series was burnt across four weeks.

I don't think enough people talk about how great BBC Bitesize is. Secondary school textbooks are now vanishingly rare and Bitesize content is (a) not in a terrible app, (b) engaging and interesting and easy to understand, and importantly (c) FREE. A properly great digital public good.

Catching up on this week's #HIGNFY and delighted that it's @vcorenmitchell.bsky.social hosting and that the amazing Dame Sheila Hancock is a guest. It's going to be a good one.

“Reality often wears a Greggs apron”. This is terrific and very funny about the reality of professional sport by Surrey’s Cameron Steel. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Dutch late night TV has its take

This was so amazing. Completely immersive and beautiful. www.domevancouver.com//show/dark-s...

Just catching up on yesterday's Destination X and that is a train carriage and a half.

Why does that screen keep going black? #OnlyConnect #MegaMondayMindMangle #MondayMindMangle #QuizzyMonday

Today is going to be a scorcher of a #heatwave in parts of the UK To stay safe remember to: - Seek shade - Dress lightly - Drink plenty of water - Wear SPF if you go out To keep your house cool, it may seem counterintuitive but, keep windows, curtains and blinds shut - keep the heat out.

When did the term liquor fall out of use in Britain? Watching a 1983 film from Nationwide and it's used throughout.

Praise the lord for a night a hotel with air conditioning, heavy blackout curtains and an eye mask. Slept till 0550 for the first time in a a couple of months.

Companies should, by law, be forced to tell you before you make your purchase which courier service they use. Yours, ‘Expected Evri delivery two days ago’

Today's been a difficult day. I took the right decision to finish work early which allowed me to head to the gym, change the scenery and get some exercise in. Then when I came out I was reminded I have tickets to The Traitors Prom to look forward to.

Something that confuses me. Why is this not a permitted route?

Annoying. Grace featuring a juror having a mobile phone in the jury room - we know that wouldn’t be happening.

@moogal.bsky.social I think this week's Secret Genius of Modern Life might appeal to you when you are back. 🎢

Given Europe will in due course implement their own advanced travel requirement it feels like there needs to be a joined up approach where a single application perhaps at the cost of either the UK or EU fee is valid across the entire Island of Ireland.

No one photographs a factory quite like Christopher Payne. www.chrispaynephoto.com Graphic shots of pianos, textiles, pencils, roller blades, golf balls, gum balls & everything in between.

Honestly, Claudia’s asides to camera are hilarious. A nice touch from the production team. #TheTraitors

Traitors fact that changes how you watch it. The edit is done in two sections. The first edit is of the round table. Once that’s locked, they go back and make the round table seem inevitable, by editing the day’s footage to set up what you see at the end. That’s why it seems narratively strong.

Proof that washing machines lie. It just finished with eight minutes left.

I think there are quite a few people who would have liked to be in that phone box. #OnlyConnect

Can anyone recommend any one of these over the other two?

@chris-h52.bsky.social 👋

Looks like Duolingo is feeling very generous. Easiest quest ever.

Really enjoyed Kneecap this evening. An 18 rated film isn't usually my cuppa but I loved the whole thing.
