One of my favorite things about mammals having to have exactly 7 neck vertebrae, no more, no less, is that to make your neck a different length, you have to change the length of your vertebrae. This has gotten very silly in dolphins. 📷Tursiops truncatus: macroscopic solutions, earth. com

You can get an MMR jab for free if you didn’t have it as a kid, UK adults

Took a while to find!

Fun that yesterday people were posting about the comedian fella who plays Binface and linking to a Radio Four documentary he's done that was still available to listen to and today we're hearing about the media attempting to "expose" him. Shambles.

Are we sure they haven't just announced that he's learned how to stand? First steps any day now

Well, ‘happy’ 13th birthday to this headline, I suppose, even though it doesn’t seem to have aged

I have a photographic memory. I have literally never forgotten what photographs are.

Today's challenge, continuing (day 3) - overcome sleep dep and general exhaustion long enough to build new bed. Given the ten minute lie down required after putting up the clothes airer just now (clothes still in machine), it's not looking great. So tired, want bed.

Fuck's sake, I've had BBC breakfast on for about half an hour and they're already repeating some fucking no-mark Reform shill droning on about the frog faced cunt from the 15 minute interview they gave him when I first switched on. They're completely fucking obsessed with him eating his own shit.

“I am the most verbally and physically attacked public figure or politician of modern times.” The disgraceful Nigel Farage. Remembering Labour MP Jo Cox, born 1974, murdered 2016.

Anyway. What a cunt.

So what did you do to get that nickname?

Was on high dose steroids till yesterday that means I've not slept in four days. Also got a new bed delivered and dismantled the old one. May have been napping a little too much today, can I sleep on this?

Colombia v Switzerland being referred to as Charlie v The Chocolate Factory.

6 years of research: "The only trait that consistently predicted objections to remote work was narcissism—the tendency to be self-centered & entitled. The higher the opinions of themselves leaders expressed, the more they coveted power and status—& the more they favored return-to-office mandates."

True story, our friends once had a very drunken game of Cluedo that was still going after four hours. Every possibility had been covered and at 2am one of the players had had enough so he grabbed the envelope, opened the cards to reveal it was: COLONEL MUSTARD in THE BILLIARD ROOM with THE LOUNGE

Councillors who don't like immigrants won't be any better at organising your bin collection or filling in potholes.

Happy 78th Birthday to the NHS 🥳 Nye Bevan’s vision of universal healthcare became reality on 5 July 1948 "Illness is neither an indulgence for which people have to pay, nor an offence for which they should be penalised, but a misfortune, the cost of which should be shared by the community"

I know it's very "just because it's not for you" coded of me but it's a this point every Wimbledon fortnight that I really would like to sit down the BBC schedulers and ask them what the fuck they're doing.

At 15 I'd reached Iain M. Banks, via Pratchett then Robert Rankin. Oh and Douglas Adams was a constant throughout, probably more of a Hitch Hiker's nerd than anything, come to think.

Then there was my next door neighbour, Jerry. "Jerry, you old horn-dog!" we'd always playfully call after him, 'cause he was a beagle, with tusks. We'd feed him a Bonio on a long spoon, just to be careful, then be on our way.

EGY EGY EGY! AUS AUS AUS!

I happily replayed it 4 or 5 times, started another go just last week. Find it very comfortable to mooch around in, sight see, do 'activities'. So let's all just have our own opinions and you not pretend yours is gospel even if you have column inches to fill.

🚨 WE NEED YOU 🚨 As a new Prime Minister comes into power, we want to show that an overwhelming number of people support trans people, and want the government to take serious action to protect their rights. Will you say you stand with trans people? And share with everyone you know?

games have been huge success. thats why we're firing every one who makes games. also we are going to make it so players can no longer buy games

"If live gives you live, make Live Aid" OK, yeah, I can see why they didn't go for that as the tag line

it's not a TV show, Parrish Station is opposite my house, someone's going nuts with a chainsaw

very much enjoying The Killings At Parrish Station

“I’ve got one of those automatic ventriloquist dummies” “What’s so good about that?” “Well, it speaks for itself"

Roses are red, Leaseholds are feudal, www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater...

Just to be really, really clear on this - the head of the EHRC is proposing we treat people differently based on how we think they look? These people are insane.

Completely irresponsible, what if it attracts tigers?

There's already a No. 10 in Manchester. Maybe even more than one.

Just met Truck ASDA, Yorkshire's premier Van Morrison tribute act.

Knees? Mother Brown was certainly very accommodating.

Shearer: "And remind us of the group standings, if England don't win tonight, will their opponents navigate through to the knockout stages?" Mowbray: "No, I don't think Panama can, Al."

Me: "I can tell she's still interested. What about Tuesday, you were undressing me with your eyes." Counselor: "Tuesday? Is that how you remember it?" Wife: "Well, in the sense that I was wishing he hadn't worn his 'I like the pope the pope smokes dope' shirt to my grandmother's funeral..."

They say "you are what you eat." The technical term is nom nom nomnative determinism.

There's a warehouse fire a street over, engines have been outside on the pumps since 1 am so our water pressure is almost nonexistent just now. Given which, I don't have even a fraction of the energy to discover how it is my upstairs neighbour has managed to flood my electrical closet this afternoon

Homer Simpson voice:

Your chance to see every pee-bottle shade of the rainbow. But yes, I do still shop there so I should probably shut the fuck up.

Sometimes a “problem“ is solved by going what the fuck are you on about thats not a problem whats wrong with you in fact if theres a problem its you

Got a similarly simple solution to the Transgender issue. Just let people transition and be fucking normal about it and mind yer own beeswax

Ope, there we go, I have sat outside the direct stream of the fan for a couple of minutes and am starting to overheat, that's tipping point for this afternoon. Just me and the blowy-boi from now on.

PSA: The refrain “football’s coming home” was about England hosting the first major tournament on home soil in thirty years. Nothing to do with victory or success. Quite the opposite, clearly. As you were.

Apparently this is a genuine attempt at an LLM vanity search engine rather than a spoof. I especially enjoy the extra "R" in the claim I'm a "J. R. R. R. Tolkein" character. h/t to @mattmuir.bsky.social for the link via the WebCurios newsletter webcurios.co.uk/webcurios-26...

Why is my body sending me to pee every half an hour? I'm fricking desiccated.

Ooh, thunder!
