Not long ago we bought these "Keep" toothbrushes from Colgate. Reusable metal handle, disposable plastic head, reduced waste. Lovely idea. Sadly they seem to have all but disappeared. Can I find the heads for sale anywhere but occasional eBay stores? I cannot.

In French "The War Between the Land and the Sea" is something like "La Guerre Entre la Terre et la Mer" which rhymes a lot more than I think is intended

Science has gone too far

Can't stand the word "TikToker". "Toker" is already a word, pronounced like "Joker". Means "one who tokes". If you want that hard "Tock" sound, it needs to be "TikTokker" And I *really* hate that my phone's dictionary already has that first one in it

It's good to know if anything happens to him, we have a spare

Somebody must have used "A wife less ordinary" by now

Now is the fortnight of our discontent Made glorious bummer etc etc

We saw these and thought of Thew @toygrind.bsky.social

Dear game developers, if your announcement does not have a coded end date, I beg you to put a year in the text (Middle-Earth Shadow of War, 2017)

we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

Even though I know full well Always Sunny is scored entirely with stock music, it's always jarring to hear it in something else

It took me the longest time to understand how "spare the rod and spoil the child" was in fact advice in the pro-child beating category. It sounds like the opposite.

TIL the original lyrics to Deck the Halls are awesome and “don we now our gay apparel” is temperance movement bullshit

Idk who needs to see this but: Stockport TK Maxx has a bunch of #Transformers at knock down prices. Gamer Edition Skywarp or PotP Red Alert £12.99. RotB Apelinq £24. Also that Legacy Blitzwing redeco or whatever

I've been thinking of the "Absolute" line as DC's (two decades later) answer to Marvel's "Ultimate" comics, but I'm starting to think of it as more akin to "EXTREME" Which, if you're from the 90s like me, has a specific meaning

A business is supposed to earn money. A government is meant to spend it. They are not the same

When I read LotR, right up until they meet Treebeard, I thought Merry was a girl. It simply never occurred to me that anybody would ever write an adventuring party made up of 100% guys. Then I was faced with a scene with very few characters and a superfluity of male pronouns.

Just humming Mosely's theme from Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers, don't mind me

It happened to me

Cross posting this 14 book bundle from @aptshadow.bsky.social #booksky 💙📚 www.humblebundle.com/books/adrian...

Remember the time a giant baby bought a country, and everyone pivoted to giving the baby shiny things in order to get what they wanted

A reminder that a UK chart-topping band in the 90s also had a hit in 1998 with an openly, no risk of misinterpretation, trans-positive pop-rock 3 minute banger. This was when Section 28 was at its very height, and yet still somehow more welcoming than Very Normal Island is to our trans folk today.

HOLY - and I CANNOT stress this enough - SHIT

Surely that's an edit. Nobody would really. [googles] Wow. WOW.

The Prophets in DS9 are really relatable cos like, if I had amazing cosmic powers I'd also use them to hang out with Sisko.

This is one of my favorite Taskmaster things ever and a great example of what raises it from a good show to a great show. There are so many clever and just very impressive little touches that are so go easy to unnoticed. From set design to music choices it all just works to elevate the whole show.

It would cost $30 billion to end homelessness in the USA.

"the Reform leader suggested he would boycott the BBC" oh no not the briar patch please no nigel anything but that

Keep getting notices from Reddit saying my NFTs will dissolve at the end of the year. I wasn't aware I had any. Apparently they gave me some without asking? Bits of their avatar creator are NFTs? They made an NFT wallet and put them in it and now they might take them away? I mean. Okay?

Always love the "legally-distinct" names people come up with when they're not infringing copyright. "Claude", "Eria Gettysburgh", and "William Barr". "Witch Hunter Ravhald". "Street Fighter Kyle". "He-Dar". ..... "Kid Goku" ...

Wait, are these ... [checks notes] ... are these ALL bangers? That can't be right

Make a movie better by adding John Carpenter's to the title: John Carpenter's Running with Wolves

Furious at this. TERFs and Gender Critical people are a loud, radicalized, wealthy minority, forcing groups who've done the right thing for years into horrible positions that none of them want. Stop buying Harry Potter. Fight for your trans brothers and sisters. They'll come for you next.

As Promised: part 1 Least functional kitchen ever !

My turn with the TV nostalgia today.m, with the delights of 90s slightly surreal sitcoms.

Still can't believe I lived for so many years without realising "cookies and cream" was code for "we can't be bothered paying for the Oreo license"

IMPORTANT: Do not read anything from the third page if you ever intend to play or run this game (except maybe the Detective card)

Sometimes I have to remind myself that parts of my lexicon are entirely unique to my own internal monologue. Like the phrase "Great Unspecified Cataclysm" which comes from the Highlander animated series, but not *from* the series, just from my brain in that context

In the doctor's waiting room*, watching a video PSA: "Let us help you - before it gets worse!" And like yeah I know "it" means "the illness" But naturally I thought "NHS funding?" * Just a regular** checkup ** Last checkup: 2010

USS NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP You are the bridge crew of a starship whose universal translator is malfunctioning. CREW CREATION Choose your crew member's name, rank, and specialty. Choose a song which represents your crew member's personality, and save or print its lyrics for later use. [1/4]

"In recent history, the Doctor Who actor has repeatedly made headlines thanks to his allyship towards trans and gender non-conforming people – most notably with a subtle gesture during a TV interview that wound up helping to raise £18,000 for the LGBTQ+ youth charity AKT."

Pet peeve: Youtubers who end their videos with "See you next time". No. No, you won't. You can't fool me, I know this magic mirror is one way. Anyway I just watched one that ended "talk to you next time" and that's much more reasonable

Big Ratatoskr energy

You just died. The 6th picture in your phone gallery is what killed you.

the genAI bubble relies on you conflating the genuinely tremendous potential of using machine learning for e.g. image recognition in radiotherapy, protein folding, simulations in power systems etc with the child abuse image generators and schizophrenic delusions generators

Tried to remember the name of Trump's golf club and my brain decided it was "MAGA-luf" you can have that one for free
