Mentally, I’m here

BBC really burying the lede there

I like that I follow quite a lot of people who do really subtle golden-age The Simpsons references in their replies that many ‘norms’ will miss.

Holy shit Spike, calm down

A reminder that Classic FM start their bonfire night calming playlist for pets at 5pm

Being neither English nor Protestant nor a Royalist I didn’t realise it was _that_ night in England and her occupied territories and have made plans that involve going outside. Ugh.

Heya Rach, if you need me to contribute more in taxes can you make it so I don’t have to give the bulk of what I do earn to your landlord mates or your mates running energy companies and supermarkets? Cheers. Oh and nearly half the kids in my area live in poverty can you help with that? Still no?

I remember! I was going to see if anyone had a .onion domain for their Blueski handle but I worked out that it’s not technically possible* so I already knew the answer. (*unless someone proves me wrong)

Opened this app for a reason (other than boredom). Bollocks.

Also 99p at Kobo. Absolute bargain.

Genuinely cross at how such an awful product made it to the shelf.

Bargain.

Put in a monster two hour shift to win a soccerball match against a bigger team and the first person the boss praises is one of his gods. I’d be a bit miffed.

There’s a beach just over the channel on sale for £10,000 and of course I want to buy it just for the LOLs of owning a beach.

Was there a way to turn off per-user reposts here? Just scrolling through a flood of rubbish and vaguely remember doing this before. Handy for when you’re happy to see the person’s posts but not 500 crappy reposts about the same thing.

Pay day is finally here but the @panic.com Nova sale is over 😢

And I thought Johnny Vegas was alright but he’s shilling for a poker co now.

ITVX is *full* of gambling ads. Makes me uncomfortable how predatory it feels. If you’re watching ITV in the daytime you probably haven’t got much money or anything exciting going on in your life.

Colour me surprised. #acnh youtu.be/7nODHyw3lgs?...

Googly eyes make everything better

We've spent the last few weeks looking at the challenges facing some of the communities hardest hit by the closure of heavy industries in South Wales. First up is Caerau which lies to the north of Maesteg features in the top 5 of the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation. talkingwales.co.uk?p=1106

D66 is the party I was* a member of and this is great news. (*maybe still am, but I haven’t paid my subs for a while)

Someone mentioned Blind Date in work and I automatically did my impression of Adam Buxton’s Cilla Black which is pretty niche if you didn’t listen to XFM or 6 Music about 16 years ago.

10 months today, lxds.

My game of Football Manager 2024 had the last two English Division 1 winners correct, so you should stick a few quid on Arsenal for this season.

hahahahahaha @ Paradox: No.

Just spotted this journey in today’s English soccerball fixtures.

Oh for f**k's sake, we would never have hyped a Caerphilly by-election if Reform weren't going to win it 🤣🤣 (h/t @richardwynjones.bsky.social ) www.thedailymash.co.uk/politics/oh-...

Aw man, the Evri scammer not seeing the joke and the joker not seeing the scam is perfect. Lovely morning chuckle.

It’s just a joke I posted at 3am for my social media homies, not a thesis I’m submitting for peer review. But thanks for your input, rando xoxo

All that city millionaires’ money, all that Russian help, all that influence from the US fash, all the bias in the English media which dominates the town still. And little Caerphilly managed to stand up to it all and vote for *decency*.

Lovely town, always respected all the lxds there.

Caerphilly 1 - 0 Russia

There’s a meat snacks range called ‘The Mad Butcher’ which I think is poor branding. Makes me wonder if the product is the “special stuff”

I’ve woken up really grumpy today Which will be good for my colleagues in work

I wish you could mute videos made by slop generator Sora. Or some kind of rule based muting - “if {video.length=10} and {video.subject=cat} then hide post” would probably catch 99%

a mr blobby drama, starring mr blobby with a normal human wife and kids. he cannot stop being mr blobby, to the delight of his kids, but to the horror of his wife, who cannot cope. can mr blobby keep his marriage and himself?

Who would be on your cursed half-and-half footie scarf?

I found the perfect domain name for a thing I've started making and I didn't register it. I'm waiting until the thing is more than 75% made and then I'll register it. And if I don't get that far I'm at least $10 better off. This is growth.

There is an absolutely hilarious spelling mistake in this article. Hollyoaks legend Gemma Merna has a very different career after brutal axing www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/2556114...

Apparently AIM was shuttered in 2017, 7 years after the last message I received on it. So since I haven’t used it for 15 years now, I finally closed my AOL account.

“I’ll use this spare hour to sort out my contacts” I’ve only got 5 friends so I don’t know how I managed this…

Try this, you might like it, you might not but you definitely won't be bored by the same old, same old. 2 hours of demos, b-sides, deep NY House, quirky downbeat electro, and other tales from leftfield. www.mixcloud.com/lwstd-fm/202...

Ah bollocks. Mucked around with my domain’s name servers and now am ‘invalid handle’.

If anyone is looking for a domain name for their blog, youtube channel or lifestyle brand then I have 'veryshit·com' going spare hmu

I also point my security camera at my hob where I keep all my most valuable soups unattended for minutes at a time
