How good is the 80s theme tune for Tomorrows World? They really ruined it after this with some brassy nonsense. They muffed up Prizeman’s organ theme from Songs of Praise the same way. Reckon there must have been some trombophonist in the music dept shitting everything up with brass instruments

MRI says L4,L5... though apparently L5,S1 also has issues but the doc reckoned not THE issue please send new spine and re-enervate my leg

What’s the matter babe? You’ve barely touched your signature animal fancy

I have a herniated L5,S1 disc (probably) and I cannot walk or sit or stand and my toe is numb and it is very rubbish. Have watched a lot of TV / YouTube. Two weeks now. Oh I forgot to mention - pain. Lots of pain. Definitely ready for this to be over.

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

You would think it would be something of a democratic crisis, if it’s very publicly demonstrated that bad actors in politics can win power within their party and then over the country with a project based on lying to, and then robbing and fucking over the people who vote for them. It seems bad!

OMG HE WANTED TO MEET BONO, I am claiming that, I am absolutely claiming that as a win

wearily scheduling a post for 18 months time, asking "this you?"

Honestly think we could cure centrism overnight by going on Fiverr and hiring a voiceover artist with a nice BBC accent to explain everything to them in a tone they understand

"Often when you see him sleeping, you’ll see him squished up against a fence, and that’s probably part of him wanting to feel that there’s something else there.” 😭

Jesus, can you hear me? Good, the comms are working. Now, you're gonna need to run if you want to evade those Roman soldiers. Hold down A to sprint. Go ahead and try it. ... Good work! You just might be the savior yet. Now pick up that AR-15 and let's do some target practice.

At half-time, the players should have to eat a significant portion of their opposition's national dish

She was class in Futurama though.

On the Today programme, Nick explains that “many listeners” will be “worried” about Miliband becoming chancellor because he was “rejected as prime minister”. Once again, the effects on these guys’ brains of reading all the papers before 5am deserves urgent study

You open every door and there's someone with their cock out for some reason.

It's like southern Neoliberalism but they put gravy on it.

For those of us who see Palestinians as human beings, this was Starmer's defining moment. It is not sustainable to behave in this way while leading the nominally progressive party in a two party system. Starmer's unpopularity is not one of life's great mysteries. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8_s...

hahah.. instant block. guessing that was a "yes" :)

lol and indeed lmao

every time i see a white guy in their fifties radicalized by the twitter algorithm into racism and extremism i think about how it's a total failure of the youtube algorithm to instead radicalize him into home brewing, elaborate A/V setups, or DIY solar

"Man insists everyone should use the thing that his latest company sells" is not news.

Heh. I just remembered about this gardener's van number plate that @spandex.bsky.social and I saw on the M5 that time 😀

Alan Milburn: "The social contract is built on a very simply basis.. each generation should do better than the previous generation. That's a contract that's been broken"

Back in 2011, before our daughter was born, we bought a book called "Yoga in Pregnancy" from a 2nd-hand book shop in York. It's mostly unremarkable, but every time a man appears in it (or is even mentioned in it) the previous owner had completely obliterated him using a black biro

A friend of mine who was TA’ing for an AmLit course found a copy of Moby Dick a student had left behind. It had only one marginal annotation, around page 100, that simply said “whale is important.”

I can't be arsed to go see if there's any detail - but what are the chances that Wes fucking Streeting's wealth tax proposals will turn out to be pretty sweet for the people who own him and "same old shit" for everyone else?

Cat is insisting that she is close to starvation and cannot in fact remember what food even looks like. I have seen her get fed twice already today.

I personally would prefer it if Burnham could be swapped in quickly and easily, and it’d probably be better for the nation. But I see no reason why the Greens should now help people who just spent two weeks calling them hateful racist cranks trying to give heroin to children.

I am just finding out now that medieval in utero illustrations just depict a fully grown man hanging out in the uterus

i would like everyone responsible for systemd to leave. please, just go. you are not welcome anywhere.

Cat just did a double-tap strike and vomited on the mat while i was cleaning the previous vomit off the mat.

🤷‍♂️

Fun fact: I first heard of "Superdry" around the time when we'd had a baby and, cos that's where my head was, i just assumed it was a brand of nappies and that people wore the logo as some kind of joke that i was too tired to comprehend

You are a skilful and trusted vizier. You will advise me wisely on how best to rule the kingdom. You will not scheme or plot. You will not inveigle my other courtiers into turning against me. You will not lie to me about scheming or plotting. If you scheme or plot against me, you have to tell me,

the cat has a poo stuck to her bum but still wants cuddles and love. it is very sad for her. and stinky for me.

i am no longer able to enjoy the sunshine on my face without immediately checking my graphs

clearly true. but also, centrists were absolutely pickled in People's Vote bullshit back 2019 and i suspect a fair few of them would have welcomed Mandelson with open arms because of his lies about stopping brexit (and his truths about hating corbyn and everyone else on the left)

the makers of "Angostura Bitters" realised that most people only ever buy the stuff once and it then lasts them the rest of their adult life ... so they deliberately designed the top to waste a few drops by jizzing them out sideways as soon as you tip the bottle

Nobody Absolutely nobody Roadrunner:

if i went to the national museum of computing, do you think i would be allowed to sniff the computers

Long ago, a cat died from being fed four minutes past feeding time. Cats have told their children of this for 3,000 generations.

morning everyone! who remembers winter? what was that all about??

“Lay down your weapons now or I will have no choice but to ask you to lay down your weapons later,” the commander in chief wrote on Truth Social

Pleased to report that, after a very long dry spell, those nerds at the National Cyber Security Centre have finally “discovered some ass”

This dog brings his “BFF toy of the day” to every meal Like… he won’t eat unless his bestie is sitting with him.

i told a few a few friends "these are tories and they are ensuring Lab can never elect another left-wing leader. that's why if you're not Tory, support Corbyn. cos you won't get another go". and if i was wrong about this it's because i underestimated just how corrupt and awful these people are
