A little introduction /reintroduction to me. #cansky 1/15

“and in other news, President Trump has ordered the bombing of Venezuela” “Caracas?” “not according to his doctors”

Making a mockery of the whole institution. Alfred Fifa would be turning in his grave right now.

huh so Google is kicking off the new year by pissing off knitters that’s fun

Honestly? Eating the hot chocolate powder with a spoon straight from the packet like the weird little freak I am.

Anna Boberg(1864-1935), Swedish artist who spent much time painting in Northern Norway, where she had a cabin and lived alone #WomensArt

A good read on building community and social relationships. It has been a shock realising how much of my father's life - social and otherwise - was entirely driven by my late mother and, more broadly, seeing how women often end up the de facto social secretary of heterosexual relationships.

happy birthday to horses

Just making sure that 2025 is definitely over

Onwards!

Marking myself safe from 2025

It's been brilliant seeing Martin's success this year with his blog, podcast and also now a book deal. Subscribe to his Substack and rummage through the archives to see what all the fuss is about.

"The most ambitious crossover event in history"

They're talking Asian-made second hand phones, painting them gold and trying to sell them in the USA. This story is funny throughout. Honestly wonder if it's actually more than a grift but a piece of savage satire, loosely disguised into performance art. - giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Oh no

Going through old family photos and i believe i have found the most 1990 picture ever. (It's me and my middle sister). This must have been Peak Bumbag.

Obviously this is dumb nonsense shit, but i would pay handsomely for a pair of AI scissors that appeared automatically when I'm walking around the room making that snipping motion because the Chap has yet again failed to return them to their rightful place after opening a parcel.

Helping my dad clear out the family home, and I now have quite the DJ set....

Nothing prepares you for how rapidly you accelerate between these three states #chemchat

please do not teach the goats italian

I think will see, over the next 12-24 months, “executives” who did not understand what LLMs are, or can do, backtracking on crucial business decisions due to rising costs. “We assumed the technology was further along than it actually was,” one executive said privately bsky.app/profile/hamm...

Son et lumiere et chocolatiere. Extremely festive.

Dystopian juxtaposition on my timeline rn

This is absolutely wild, and super important. There are zillions of studies claiming that fMRI signals indicate increased brain activity, and it looks like that's often just wrong. If confirmed, this means we've misinterpreted a lot of research.

I have a recurring nightmares about driving a car and not getting able to brake, steer etc - i am never getting in one of these things ever.

The dog thinks she is a person so obviously gets her own chair. Failure to provide a chair results in foot stamping and barking of displeasure. Ridiculous furry tyrant.

Pinned up helpful signs around the house. Not sure the dog can read though.

Happy Christmas Eve from Daisy, who has had enough of this shit already.

Is it bins?

“Pray tell, the Baron, what sort of gentleman is he?” “Well…”

Potentially the most significant legal case of the year. When i am queen it will be an offence punishable by death (or maybe a large fine) to allow your cat to shit in another person's garden www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Proper lol at this

"Two Rabbits with a Sled' (1894) illustration by celebrated English author Beatrix Potter #Womensart ❄️

He's making list, he's checking it twice, he's gonna find out who's optimally adapted to their environment...

Has this guy done the Whitney drum meme yet? youtu.be/_byORFC_I-E?...

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks to these memes, I learned the word "psychopomp". Doesn't make them any better though.

This was so much fun. Listen now for the most Abundant quizzing hour of your life!

Woke possessed with an ear worm that is a gruesome hybrid of Little Drummer Boy and The More It Snows from Winnie the Pooh. Tiddly pom.

Uh.... I have questions

What the fuck is wrong with these people?

Just realised I don't actually know how many of the family even like mince pies.

Watching Gremlins (1984) with the eldest. I hate to point this out but early in Gremlins, It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) is on TV. We are now further away from Gremlins than Gremlins was from It’s A Wonderful Life. Sorry.

Now he has returned from the Big Shop, it turns out my OH and I have radically different definitions of "some mince pies"...

Came across Clarissa Dickson-Wright’s autobiography in a charity shop. It is everything a devotee of weird history could hope for

Fascinating.
