This is so, so well-articulated.

My favourites in Leicester are called "Hair Quarters" and "c✂️TS"

I am watching the Lion King Me and my older sister took my youngest one to see it at the cinema when it was new. I spent the bus money on popcorn and had to borrow 50p off my friend who came with us.

Can anyone guess what it cost one adult and one child to get into town (2 miles) on the bus today.

Wow look, James Cameron's new screenplay for "Alien Water Robots: Helicopters" has leaked

I'm in helicopter

No idea why BBC news bother reporting what trump has said he'll do as headlines. Like saying "Carrick says Man U are good at football and going to win against the Tigers" as the news. On one level yeah that's your job but on the other level they're a rugby team what are you on about

Just found an old 15 second video of my little sister's 13th birthday. In the background, my long-dead grandparents chatting away. In the foreground, my sister cutting her cake. She's been in hospital since Christmas; not sure if she'll make 35. Fuck. Life, man.

Fuck

I can't help but think that "getting rid of the nanny" and "skipping baths" are different levels

These headlines are always bollocks aren't they, because it's implied it's because of woke or whatever but the full quotes are always more nuanced.

Ah this is actually my favourite onion headline ever

I just don't understand how people get to adulthood and are unable to understand children's fiction. (JKR can get stuffed but not because she invents a fictional slur and then puts it into the mouths of Nazis so you know they are bad)

I hate the ones that say "are you angry? Get it to rewrite your reply so it's not angry" ok, but also you either want them to know you're angry or you don't and if you don't maybe don't send it?

Bollocks #personalnews

I am enjoying the music of Simon & Garfunkel.

So it actually is red nose day... Today?? I know telly isn't big but I do consume BBC stuff.... but not even my son's school did anything. What does this mean? We have defeated poverty through laughter. But now there is a greater foe: cycling really far

There's even more confusing numbering on the continent - first king of Italy was Victor Emmanuel II; second Kaiser of Germany was Frederich III... I wonder what fun debates would be had if they were still monarchies! Would you have to count Kings of Sicily? Popes?

The "Gerry Adams denies ever being involved in the IRA" disclaimer at the end of every episode of Say Nothing is very funny.

People: I am available for any freelance dev or DevOps work. No job too small.

As it's mother's day, some of my favourite wisdom from one of worlds the wisest men youtu.be/RO6JiFztJdg?...

Where can I vote for this labour party that the conservatives are always talking about?

Anyway: I've had an email from the NHS telling me I might have been stealing (not paying for my prescriptions) because they're unable to cross-reference databases? So I have to scan/photograph 6 pages from the DWP, with lots of brilliant personal information on.

This context menu has 4 potentially useful things here! But what I want to do is Resize the image OK; you've decided to add a new menu with file manipulation options in it. Why not just throw in loads of common ones regardless of their novelty. But no, this is about AI, because AI. FFS.

"I've got a biography of that guy from the Velvet Underground on the go at the moment" "Lou Reed?" "No, I keep it in my bag and read it on my commute"

I loved this comparison of the two Menaces.

This is really sad. My nephew was diagnosed as diabetic aged 3 - it is really important that at the very least it's a thing they look for. He got pretty ill! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I got the annuals from my Carlisle-based grandparents. It's a secret cheat code if you ever need to understand not only Scots but Geordie dialect too.

I love the idea visiting Disneyland is the only explanation for Giger being photographed in Mickey Mouse ears; he was so taken by the most magical place on earth that he had spend the next few days wearing a souvenir Or it's a sex thing. It's a sex thing isn't it? The back of the hat is a big cock.

Fan letter to Starlog from 1980, featuring a rare photo of H.R. Giger in a Mickey Mouse hat

This is a small point here but Americans don't seem to understand prime minister isn't a title, it's just the name of his job. Also while I'm here chef isn't a title either. "Thank you for saving my restaurant, Chef Ramsey, I never knew I had to wash my hands" fuck off he's called Gordon

I don't understand this, how pickled is your brain to think this is more likely than a mistake & cover up? Like you can hate the Iranian regime & love Trump all you like and still accept that. So weird.

I hate to say it, because it's evil, but the AI stuff for coding is pretty good now, even just the free stuff. I added a new feature to my fun app in 10 minutes rather than the hours of trial/error/boredom it would have probably taken me.

Internet time moves so fast and suddenly that talking about ICQ felt like your grandad talking about rationing by about 2003. I remember you used to have to clear out your webmail inbox because the size was limited; they'd compete on whether you got 2mb or 2.5mb

Guess who just got a parkrun pb that is also me??? (Me)

Did woody think he was a cowboy when he was first made? Did he become conscious as soon as he was finished? Is each Lego brick individually conscious or is the finished model it's own person or is it both, like an emergent consciousness thing? If I play with a stick does it come alive?

Cat got herself stuck in a silly place

Couldn't make money selling cans of Punk IPA despite taking a £75m investment? I think it'll turn out that a lot of these weren't really mistakes.

This also for job salaries and deadlines. Just tell me what you want and when and I'll figure out if that's reasonable, thanks!

That inhumane statement from Jack Dorsey excusing his massive layoffs is pretty fucking bleak for anyone who has a job and/or doesn't own the means of production

This is amazing

Half asleep film review: Crimes of the Future (David Cronenberg, 2022). Aragorn dresses as a monk and him and his friends (off James Bond & Twilight) get horny when a machine pulls their insides out. A boy eats a bin and his mum kills him. He sits in a weird penisy massage chair. Boring weird. 2/5

aaaaa just took the wrong pill before bed. Took the amphetamine. Well. Let's see if I sleep!

Aaaaaa I just took the wrong medicine, I'll be up all night

Restricting replies/notifications is understandable because of weirdos, but it does mean that the place starts to feel cliquey. Like everyone's got their mates.

IN INGERLAND THEY HAVE THEIR OWN MCDONALDS RUN BY BRITISH PEOPLE CALLED THINGS LIKE KEITH LMAO

Took me a minute to figure out why they rebranded to Big Car World when neither the cars nor the showroom is Big.
