"Its roots must hold the sky." Yggdrasil, Mark Z Danielewski

I'm reposting this here because I am tired and life is more complicated than many of you could imagine.

I have no idea who Ms Rachel is. I don't get involved in I/P politics and I'm coming at this entirely without context but ON ITS OWN the statement "wanting children to live isn't antisemitic" IS blood libel as it implies that Jews are pro- children dying.

Feeling a bit guilty. Goblin cat has been bringing me a specific toy whenever I'm in bed or on the couch. I thought she wanted to play fetch like she does with her ball but it turns out that it's her comfort toy and she wants to cuddle it when it's brushing time 😭

Holy shit. "Turning off the genetic switch to its respiratory system might finally eliminate the bacteria behind tuberculosis." #ShareGoodNewsToo

The weirdest thing about the Shirley Manson beachball story is that she's from Scotland. We all hate the fucking beach. It's pebbles and razor clams and ice cold spray off the windy sea.

"A BBC journalist ran the image through an AI chatbot which identified key spots that may have been manipulated." It's a language model. It doesn't "identify" shit. It predicts what you want to hear. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Cautiously hyped about this. I enjoyed watching him in The Edge of Sleep.

wow who was he up against

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Football culture is cancer.

Following @sailorrooscout.bsky.social is a great way to combat doomerism. Medical science is magic and medicine is making advances every day.

Ways to divide the world pt 17 of 185

Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped). It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it. Make sure you have these disabled.

good article though unfortunately the game industry is largely controlled by people who are unfamiliar with the history movies, theater, literature, or basically any art form that does not have stats

Many moons age, we found the lid of a 'vintage' Polly Pocket Jewelled Palace (1992) washed up on a beach in Cornwall. Years later, we found its base. #plasticarchaeology

AAAAAAAAAAAA

Morning.

One of the few times someone did this to my face I managed to hit out with "I got paid either way" and I'm still buzzing from that one.

This bird’s greed delights me

Rectum? Damn near exploded 'um.

This Pluribus ad on a fridge caused a schizophrenic woman named Carol to be hospitalized.

Apparently there is a weird partial broadband outage covering large patches of the UK today and has been all day. I haven't seen any news about it but downdetector, etc reports are way up.

My most listened to artist of the year? that’s right the girl reading this

Don't make me tap the "a lot of the big horror stories about Spotify artist revenue can be directly traced back to labels and distributors scalping the fuck out of artists, just like with physical media" sign again. It's like young people weren't around for the predatory record deals of yesteryear.

Absolutely insane that my other half has discovered that he's the top 92 listener of Rammstein worldwide. Not 92%. 92. Top 100 people. It's impossible to compare stats to him. He is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

I am nothing if not a predictable old goth.

What do you actually want to ban when you ban SUVs? Cars over a certain height? Cars over a certain weight? Cars below certain efficiency levels? Or cars you think are naff? Unlike the US, SUVs here must meet all the same regs re. safety and efficiency as lower cars.

Why spend your morning getting anything productive done when you too could be going through the Official Ofcom Guide to Bad Words? (Warning, of course, for bad language.) @stronglang.bsky.social www.ofcom.org.uk/siteassets/r...

This is actually insane. How am I just hearing about this?

In Bruges is a Christmas film.

Torn between "sweet Christ that's a stunning lineup" and "I have never been to Bergen and someone's already called me a k-slur" at this poster. That's a lineup and a half.

Whenever I'm about to start getting bad palpitations or signs of what my doctors are assuming are POTS attacks, my big maine coon boy gets REALLY panicky and starts trying to drag me to the sofa. I don't know if you've ever been dragged and sat on bh a 22lb cat but they're bloody strong.

I don't know who needs to hear this but instead of panicking about your green poop you could simply remember that you're on antibiotics and recently ate spinach. It's me. I needed to hear this.

Powerful and very good. TW, of course, for suicide.

My "I'm not a pervert" shirt etc etc.

The one and only original

Not my pic but when I say that maine coons are much bigger than other cats this is what I mean.

Tortie goblin has taken to fake-pouncing at me with a dramatic "BRRAM!" (maine coon owners will know the noise) every time I come out of the bathroom and she seems exceedingly pleased with herself when she successfully gives me a mini heart-attack.
