Husband bought me a bottle of Petra by Lattafa. What it's supposed to smell of is Rum, coconut, plum, & praline. What it actually smells of is hospital cleaning supplies mixed with oud After 45 mins, the hospital smell has faded a lot, and it's now predominantly smelling of incense aftershave

this is the people's ballroom

Making a massive pot of madras for lunch tomorrow and the whole of downstairs smells heavenly and I have to keep reminding myself it's for tomorrow and not tonight.

🧵Someone from x asked me to post “Here's why the new White House ballroom project is not real. (The demo is obviously real.) Some background - I am a licensed Architect with 20+ yrs of exp. I have worked on multiple Federal projects w sensitive building programs that required background checks

8 year old me would have gone FERAL for these. Especially the first one and the pink Japanese one

Been a while since I was on here and I see it's been invaded by MAGA shitstains and government departments.

Happy 10th Anniversary to one of the most successful, widely used tweets ever.

If any UK Hello Kitty Island Adventure players are wondering why the Wheat field DLC isn't showing up, apparently it's release is around 3-4pm #HelloKitty #Switch

Good god I bloody love the NHS.

The living room is chaos right now with boxes being packed up ready for the 18 y/o to go off to uni.

I'm now convinced that despite it being one of their biggest selling games ever, Nintendo hates Animal Crossing. I have gifted money put aside for a Switch 2, & I'm not getting one until a new Animal Crossing is out. At this rate I'll have to spend the money on something else.

Things I never thought I'd hear myself say: Hello Kitty Island Adventure is a far superior game to Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It's way, WAY better, with far more gameplay.

Is it just me or is he the spitting image of Mike Neville?

Dear #audiobook producers, if the main character is British, don't employ an American narrator whose attempt at a British accent is absolutely appalling. It makes the listener struggle to enjoy the book.

Made some #roasties

After the disaster of the book arriving yesterday with the cover totally ripped and hanging on for dear life, the replacement copy has just arrived. Can't wait to finally read it in it's purest form - a physical book! #HellsBells #ForWhomTheBelleTolls

I really really want a new #AnimalCrossing game announced in tomorrow's #NintendoDirect for the #Switch2, but I don't think we'll get it until next year at the earliest 😢.

Really enjoying this classic Sesame Street segment, two minutes of freestyle jazz riffing on saxophone factory footage

Chat is it bad that apparently half the world is grinding their teeth in their sleep

The pain on her face is like a punch to the soul. I just want 5 mins alone with her mother to give her a more tangible punch.

NEW 🧵 Is human intelligence starting to decline? Recent results from major international tests show that the average person’s capacity to process information, use reasoning and solve novel problems has been falling since around the mid 2010s What should we make of this? www.ft.com/content/a801...

Happy Pi Day everyone, though it feels like this day is really just for countries that use the bizarre month-followed-by-day format (I'm looking at you, US) that allows them to write today's date as 3.14

Had a bad morning so got taken out for a caramel latte (via B&Q). Can't beat a sugary coffee and casual abuse directed at Elon Musk, to cheer yourself up

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

My dad - the retired vicar, area dean, and cathedral canon, buys me the best mugs....

With all the talk about who's going to be the next #Bond, I'm staking my vote for Henry Cavill. I can't argue with this

I love that after 14 years together, @fourq.bsky.social still has the capacity to surprise me. Along with a case of 12 cans of Monster Ultra Violet (it's like the early 80s in a can and very difficult to get hold of), he bought me a bottle of uranium glass!!

"Sorry Mr President, the files were in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.'"

If you're ever plagued by a song that you don't know what it's called, or who it's by, and can only remember a couple of fragments of lyrics, this site is a godsend. It's just helped me avoid days of misery by finding me Golden Age by Christian Death. www.chosic.com/find-song-by...

Our son went to CERN and all I got was this awesome t-shirt. I absolutely love it. Yes, that's right, he went to CERN! Stopped off at the United Nations (as you do). It's been a hell of a trip. We're glad he's home safely though. He might legally be an adult but you never stop worrying.

@aoc.bsky.social e-mail going after TikTok & social platforms collaborating with Trump - with a shout out to @bsky.app

I have always had a mug fetish and I think the 18 y/o has brought me back from their trip to @lhcb.bsky.social, possibly one of the coolest mugs in existence

The immediate catalyst for the Tulsa massacre, I just learned, turned out to be a tale as old as time, at least here in the U.S.—and a lie that was grossly and recklessly amplified by a local newspaper. www.justice.gov/crt/media/13...

I was following the author since before she started writing this. Read the first draft as it was being released a chapter per week on Patreon. It became my ultimate favourite comfort book. Binged the published ebook in a day. One of the most comforting conceptions of the afterlife ever.

Here we have a novel set in Sunderland. Try and guess what's immediately wrong with it. I almost don't want to read it out of researcher fuelled outrage

Espresso martini...

Merry Christmas everyone x

Turns out this isn't AI like I thought, it's actually real - it's the covering while construction is going on And tbh I think they should have made this the actual design of the building because I love it. #LouisVuittonNY

This is the cross-over that officially needs to happen.

I've come to the conclusion that a parent designed the roses/heroes/celebrations tub lids. It's clearly been designed so that kids can't break into them and sneak out sweets without making a god awful racket.

PSA for those who are playing #Whamageddon, avoid the film Carry-On until Christmas day. It's a good film, but it *will* knock you out.

That was emotional and somewhat abrupt #PocketCamp #AnimalCrossing

This is Buddy. He has perfected the art of peekaboo. But despite his expertise, graciously doesn't make his human search for too long. 14/10

Never thought I'd get this emotional over #AnimalCrossing Pocket Camp closing. During the pandemic when everyone was playing New Horizons, I didn't have a Switch then. Pocket Camp helped alleviate some of the anxiety. #PocketCamp #ACPC Come 3pm Thursday, I suspect I'm going to well up a bit.

I've resisted for as long as I could. But tonight is the night I get to see how bad I think this will be.

I blocked this pile-on pushing prick so fast that the world's finest physicists are having to revise Einstein's life's work.
