Kudos to HMRC I know. Weird. Phoned up to GIVE THEM MONEY (missing NI years) and they told me not to bother because I’ll hit max in 6 years anyway. Cheers HMRC (your hold music and waiting time still sucks though)

Early exit polls suggest the new pope did particularly well with male voters aged 45-79.

In my humble opinion one of the finest things to be is accidentally drunk I’ll let you figure out why I’ve chosen to say this at this time

My studio clock appears to be channeling Buddy Holly and I’m not sure I like its suggestion that this will, in fact, be the day that I…

So, let’s say I’m the posterior opening of the digestive tract, through which solid waste, or feces, is excreted. And I am located at the end of the rectum and is surrounded by two sphincter muscles that control the passage of stool. AITAH?

The cats own this house. That’s why the word homeowner has the word “meow” in it.

I rarely do these things but: If you see this, you're invited to quote with the energy you bring to Bluesky.

It’s Akira Kurosawa’s birthday. The older I get, the more I think about this quote: ‘I can’t afford to hate anyone. I don’t have that kind of time.’

Loving the general Bluesky vibe but increasingly having to block glamourous chat bots with no posts and snapchat replies. I get the point of them on the other site but how on earth is it financially viable on here? Who's engaging with them?

My Co-founder Josh Weinsch took this photo of his little daughter’s bike, which was in their driveway when they evacuated. Their neighborhood was vaporized.
