The new voicemail transcript thing on iPhone can’t handle (fast?) Scottish accents I see. I got a call this morning, actual words “Hi Fiona. This is Sean from MobilityMatters…” and this is the transcript 👇🏻

"You talkin' to me? To you? To me?"

And he’s got the exact same look as when you catch your dog chewing on something he shouldn’t

Well THIS is a delightful photoshop challenge - "kids TV at the movies". So many great ones, though a huge amount of Rod Hull gives away the average age of the creators b3ta.com/challenge/ch...

When Rod fell off that roof, did the police check the alibi of every TV presenter who had to smile through gritted teeth after one of these assaults?

Hateful groups attach themselves to causes with broad public sympathy, women’s rights, children’s rights, animal welfare, while hiding what they’re really about. It’s always worth asking: what lies beneath the surface of their rhetoric? [8/9]

Wow, Unforgivable is pretty excellent work all round, eh?

Yes, but *apart* from being hot, kind, intelligent, talented, hot, charming, generous, hot, iconic, sweet, funny, hot, hot and hot, what on earth did Robert Redford have going for him?

every headline today: "Man Who Could Absolutely Get It Dies at 89"

I know everyone loved Redford’s cool guy roles - so did I - but I also *adored* him playing the uptight guy opposite a free-spirited woman like Fonda or Streisand. Barefoot in the Park is such a good film. youtu.be/_4jtkw-qFms?...

Today is the first time since going back to work that I really can’t be arsed. 5 weeks isn’t bad.

The British Psychological Society has warned that recent changes to equality law guidance risk causing confusion and damaging the wellbeing of trans people. This comes in response to the EHRC consultation on its code of practice for services, public functions and associations..

“Lilium symbolizes not just innovation, but a long-overdue reckoning with how medicine treats women’s bodies, with empathy, autonomy, and respect.” 🧪

This frontispiece in my book just made me laugh a lot. Is this Buddhist reincarnation, or some other form of afterlife?

Thank you for your attention to his decaying matter!!

I’m obviously not on here enough these days - why is everyone saying he’s dead? I’ve scrolled back and I can see everyone speculating but not what’s prompted it.

Earlier this year I started listening to @beefanddairy.bsky.social from the start. I’m now up to episode 92 and I can’t tell you how much joy I get from this gloriously silly podcast. Just writing a brief episode synopsis for my mates made me laugh.

an appropriate response to your product killing a child after months of psychological manipulation and torture is to take the product off the market before it kills again and the fact that this isn’t universally accepted right now is incredibly frightening

Huge trigger warning for s**cide in these screenshots. This is fucking monstrous. I’d love to think there’d be some consequences for the leeches pushing this tech but I’m not so naive.

@strongeststars.bsky.social I know you’re not on here much but I can’t face the other place. I wanted to let you know how much I loved ‘Land Change’ in the @terrorcamp.bsky.social poetry zine - it’s so beautifully written (and lovely to read out loud).

The existence of biscoff implies the existence of homoscoff and heteroscoff

Having looked in the freezer to see what I can make for tea, my brain has decided today’s earworm ‘treat’ is just the phrase “crispy nuggets” set to the tune of the Hallelujah Chorus. Make it stop.

I'm collecting weird ghost stories listeners have heard for a podcast episode! It must be a story someone told YOU about somewhere that you were (NOT personal experiences). Think ghosts at your school, monsters in the woods, or apparently haunted shops. Drop yours here: forms.gle/WzXyGZLoe8iL...

Extraordinary to roll out the red carpet for plagiaristic, energy-guzzling AI companies while telling ordinary citizens to save electricity

Tonight’s #earworm is an exemplar of the form: the ‘Punjab Airways’ jingle from the old Phileas Fogg ad.

I was asked about my opinion on this recent study into #MECFS and I wanted to share here as well. First and foremost, sincere congratulations to the research team for some stellar work. I will never stop cheering for groups that are working to uncover the biological 1/

Is this drag name taken?

I’ve been back at work for 4 hours and I’m ready to go off again because someone has asked about “quantum and timing info for [my] input”. I swear the institution makes people talk like this.

This is so affirming and makes me really glad to have taken part in the study. Groundbreaking evidence that #MECFS is (at least partially) caused by genetic differences in our immune and nervous systems.

omfg so many grieving people will succumb to this 💔
