Jolly, ho!

If you could introduce any historical figures to one another and either join the conversation or just watch them interact, who would you pick?

End times. It's over. We're done

Bona sira. Pizza restaurant serving lunch opposite the Opera House in #Palermo The chef, apparently, has Glasgow family and visits regularly. Passa na bedda jurnata.

I think my eyes just rolled out of my head, across the floor, and under the stairs

This account likes to joke about cruise ships being outsized Petri dishes of pestilence, but this sounds genuinely horrific. Thoughts with everybody aboard, but especially with the crew - nobody signs on expecting the WHO to take a sudden interest in your wellbeing...

Although better to keep Ewa Woowar as the sole human actor, and have the rest as muppets. For sure, something extra horrific about the denouement being at a cliff top Wicker Muppet.

MUPPET WICKER MAN (Brian Henson, 1993) Police Sergeant Kermie travels to the isolated town of Summerisle in search of a missing girl. He finds the locals to be a surly and suspicious lot, rustic practitioners of crude bawdiness and Celtic neo-paganism. Starring Vincent Price as Lord Summerisle.

Hosting a friend’s cat at home for a few days. Very hissy when meeting Basil and Anchovy. Welcome, Bear!

15 years ago today, Kate and William killed Osama Bin Laden at their wedding.

People may be aware of my long standing love for the running app ‘Zombies, Run!’, and I’m excited to see that (after a hiatus) they are now about to release new story content! The narrative is great (created and written by Naomi Alderman), and I’d love to know that more runners were enjoying it! 🧟🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️

The Wachowskis built 1.5 miles of highway for their Reloaded set piece, got 300 some cars from GM that were not deemed to be road safe for consumers, and after filming one of the five best car chases in cinematic history, recycled all that material into affordable housing in Mexico

@ohgodwhatnow.bsky.social a fun zoom, thank you! Marie as always a star, and great to see her show and tell item.

We wholly oppose the drive to exclude trans runners from taking part in park runs under their correct gender. If you want to take a stand you can visit the Protect Park Run website below and write to your MP. protectparkrun.uk @transsolidarity.bsky.social

Calling @fubsyshabaroon.bsky.social! THINK ABOUT why you when YOU FEEL LIKE STARTED QUITTING

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

Mashed potato is an elite tier food.

@deeringrob.bsky.social I am listening to my pal P Burton-Morgan with you on RunComPod. I share the delight in your poem about the father and daughter running to the train. I’m sure they’ll make it too 🥰

This entire pointlessly destructive war so far has cost the US military around $60 billion, which is around twice the amount cut from USAID which saved millions of lives.

Good morning, my love, are you ready to rise and meet the day with your hands caked in graveyard soil and your skin covered in the pale etches of the dark magic we used to summon you?

Margarine was mostly animal fat originally. Then the great depression led to the perfection of hydrogenation which made it possible to use whale oil. WW2 forced a shift to vegetable oil. The decimation of global whale populations meant there was no economic reason to shift back at that point.

The Innumerati.

It’s Shakespeare’s birthday. Used to show this to all my classes as one of the great examples of how to quickly & powerfully connect with your audience rhetorically under the guise of naturalism. Lewis is superb at building up his murderous contempt for the conspirators. youtu.be/q89MLuLSJgk?...

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

I still think that The Doctor should be England's Patron Saint, and our national anthem/theme tune should be Firestarter by the Prodigy. Imagine that at the beginning of the Six Nations.

i literally think about this every time my bank emails me

Did you see the 4k remastered Rothkos

We all die in a Navy submarine Because there's no vaccine Because there's no vaccine

Teaching a history course that covers British involvement in the slave trade and this is an interesting infographic of compensation payouts when Britain abolishes slavery throughout the empire in 1833. [Heblich, Redding and Voth, 'Slavery and the British industrial Revolution']

Hi this joke is for me

I think before you build an Arc de Triomphe you should be able to identify at least un (1) triomphe

Victoria Park, nice.

He continued to insist as he slowly shrinks and transforms into a corn cob.

How are you going to celebrate, when it happens?

Revealing that the Guardian apparently couldn't actually find any examples of the ruling having "changed lives" positively. Those quoted in support simply express political agreement with it rather than being able to point to any tangible life benefit, in contrast to those quoted in opposition.

L’esprit de l’airlock.

Imagine if, through the miracles of science, we one day succeed in communicating cross-species and somehow conveying to sperm whales that we call them sperm whales.

Remember when Senile Satan was a “nurse” last June?

"You're a loose canon, Leo!"

Happy Praying Mantis Appreciation Day, to all who celebrate… CHILD PRAYING MANTIS: Dad, who are we all praying to exactly? DAD PRAYING MANTIS: Depends which religion you belong to CHILD: So not all people follow the same religion? DAD: No, son… we’re in sects

love this new development for America

Star Trek: Embassy A remote Federation political posting suddenly becomes extremely important as a formerly low powered civilisation gets some sort of McGuffin Power. all the major galactic players send ambassadors to the rising political star, including, at the end of season 1, the Borg.

And you just have to think, outside of the diseased mind of the malignant narcissist who is this for

Why Myanmar’s New Year celebrations cannot wash away the truth As Myanmar’s military regime stages “Grand Thingyan” celebrations to manufacture a sense of normalcy, the rituals are being used to obscure ongoing violence, displacement and suffering. (By Ko Ko Aung) www.abc.net.au/religion/thi...

Relatedly I think this is one of the most realistic things about Star Trek: 'in a post-scarcity society, some people choose to get involved in, basically, an organisation that is a bit the Scouts, a bit the peace corps and a bit a humanist version of the Royal Navy' seems about right.
