Still thinking about this note I found in the children’s section of the public library when I worked there back in 2018. This kid tried to warn us…

Relentlessly upbeat hold muzak from the IT department 😭

Here are my top 10 dog and news reporter interactions!

Had to scrape ice off the windscreen for the first time in ages as a special birthday treat.

I’ve taken the really heavy duty painkillers as a special bedtime treat.

AI footage in the quote post. However it's a real fact, with real footage available (See my link below). Now people who believed it have a false image of how octopus act, and people who recognise it as AI question a real observed scientific fact. Utter bullshit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RN9B...

I have done something terrible to my back without knowingly doing anything terrible to my back. Middle age is non stop fun.

Take down bird feeders this summer to cut spread of avian disease, says RSPB

Dangerously close to eating my emergency Freddo.

A single line in this piece just made my day: “The electricity system operator is understood to be preparing to run the grid without any gas for short periods as soon as this summer, in a first for the UK energy system.” Renewables *work*. And progress matters🎉 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

Can I get that on a t-shirt?

Now if the universe or calcifying arteries could intervene before the two weeks are up 🤞

Good morning, everyone! Masuke has been out and about again this morning, full of energy.

BREAKING NEWS Multiple5B-52s are departing RAF Fairford! Local video shows a loaded B-52 taking off. ~7 hour combat flight time to Iran puts them in striking range by 8pm eastern standard time. #AureFreePress #News #press #headline #GOP #Politics #uspolitics […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

Watching the RAF and US airforce planes flying about over the UK on flight radar makes me just a bit anxious.

Someone posted this in the other place. And it led me to this gorgeous Third Programme oddity. A radio play without dialogue by Andrew Sachs. In binaural sound. And inspired by a thought from Tom Stoppard ... archive.org/details/the-...

Happy Leland Melvin day to all who celebrate. 💚

He is in fact the death of a civilisation. Just not the one he means.

the swag in this video is unreal

How are you feeling about the day? asks Teams annoying Insight feature. Unfortunately , it doesn’t have a selection for worried about a nuclear war.

"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.

I made the mistake of scrolling through my feed here and I think I might just head over to instagram where my feed is 95% cute puppy dogs and enjoy them before the end times properly begin.

my youngest grandson returns from The Waste. No food again, just metal scraps. But he's so proud, and wants a reward. "Tell me again about The Great Before. Tell me why The Green went away," he begs. "in the Before," I begin, "people had questions about who should participate in women's sports..."

Do horses want cake? We conducted an investigation into statements published by @bencollins.bsky.social in the print edition of @theonion.com.

This is Sprout. He just turned 21, so his doggy retirement home threw him the party of the year. After getting his new ID, Sprout got his first legal pup cup, then he and his friends celebrated with cake, presents, and even a Sprout-themed calendar. 13/10 happy birthday buddy #SeniorPupSaturday

I accidentally took a 4 hour nap this afternoon and now it’s 2am and I’m going to be a mess tomorrow.

Created a new file in my "Global History of Health" folder today for Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) as a "new" emerging disease. (Friends, it's an ancient disease, and we were just on the verge of getting it under control: link.springer.com/article/10.1...) #histmed #aDNA 🧪🗃️

In case you were wondering: Yes, there is a Jonathan the Great Tortoise angle to the Pam Bondi firing news.

Hedgehogs are absolute menaces.

I’ve received someone else’s car insurance info since they used my email address. Wondering if I should text them and tell them, since I have all their details.

ahhhh looks like the old Pretend To Be A Famous 193-Year-Old Tortoise's Veterinarian And Say He Died And Then Solicit Crypto Donations Through Social Media scam i've seen it a million times

Wonder if I can remember who I am in the space of a bank holiday weekend?

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of March!

My eyeballs are gonna pop.

This is such sad news. I only met Glen Baxter once, at a literary festival in Montpellier. (He was hugely popular in France.) I can only say he was one of the funniest, warmest, most charming geniuses I've ever met.

Very sad to learn this. Glen was a family friend and often visited the Newmans in Somerset in the 1970s. He introduced me to EC horror comics.

I feel like more than an hour of my weekend was stolen. Grrr.

Now get out and vote in the midterms like your life depends on it, because it does. #NoKings

The blink camera in the garden keeps alerting me to the hedgehogs threesome taking place on the patio right now.
