Had an Openreach engineer here the other day because we’ve had issues with our line and the dude who turned up looked so much like Nigel Farage I kinda didn’t want to let him in 😬

Just had to add ‘Dracula’s Daughter’ by The Decemberists to my earworms playlist, in spite of the fact I haven’t actually heard that song in at least ten years because it’s a live bit they do at shows there’s mostly only bootlegs of AND YET it has been floating around my head for two weeks now

When we migrated to the UK my parents bought a farmhouse of which part was 600 years old and part had been rebuilt 30 years previously when the lone hermit who still used oil lamps for light and pulled water from the well died in a horrific fire that burnt down 2/3rds of the building.

#throwback to the most disturbing flyer ever posted through my letter box

If I were an engineer I would make a little printer scarab bug you could attach to a plastic-coated wire and print lil messages directly onto the wire for the person who has to deal with your decisions later

What would the modern equivalent of Live Aid even look like now? We don’t have universal stars like there were 40 years ago. I haven’t known the names and faces of 4/5 pop charters my entire adult life and the rest I learned under duress. I can’t be the only one

I've now reached the end and yes there was a scene where he chose to not be obsessed with his own ego and enabled Starlight to be a badass in her own right but like, we didn't need this fake arc for that moment to land?? Do TV execs know how rarely that dynamic is shown at all??? We see it.

I’ve always wanted my own READ poster… so I made one

🎶The best ever death metal band out of Denton Never settled on a name But the top three contenders, after weeks of debate Were "Satan's Fingers," and "The Killers," and "The Hospital Bombers"🎶

Having one of those 'I miss the elbo.ws ecosystem and TSURURADIO in particular' days. We didn't know how we good we had it til it was gone. Hope Aaron and TsuruBride are still doing well

Would democracy work better if in addition to voting for elected officials once a year we also voted to yeet a specific person from the country permanently

Handy PSA: If you have an iPhone & noticed it running stupid hot lately, go to: Settings > Photos > turn off 'Enhanced Visual Search' and Settings > Accessibility > Motion > turn on 'Reduce Motion' Did this earlier and literally felt my phone cool in my hands for the first time in days.

Hah I know I’m in Bognor when old men throw the Sieg Heil to stop the bus 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Can you imagine if Hunter S was still alive, rolling through the hospital with an open-carry pistol at his waist and avaitors nailed to his face no matter the light level, eventually trading the information with a random orderly he met in the staff smoking area for some ket and $100

I'm watching The Boys for the first time & one thing I find confusing is Hughie's heel-turn on not needing to be The Dude That Saves The Damsel between S1 & S3. Is this just a thing I have to set aside as outside of my lived experience? Is it meant to show the drag of Butcher's toxic masculinity on

Working in an educational institution as IT support means you spend an enormous amount of time worrying about reading comprehension levels in the general population and the academic sector specifically 🫠

I thought Vita Carnis was fiction

Who else originally learned this story via this book

I bet I’m on a watch list now cuz someone thinks I want to nuke New York not watch an obscure indie movie about it ffs. Not that I wasn’t already on some watch lists but

Google’s fucking correcting my Boolean now. No I really did mean “unclear” not nuclear that’s why the quote marks are there wtf is happening why can’t I confirm I typed correctly why are the search results about nukes not the film I’m looking up

i love not gambling. every day i wake up and just don't gamble at all. any money i have at the beginning of the day i either keep or exchange for goods or services. if somebody says "hey do you want to get into some gambling" i say "hell no, brother. do i look like an idiot to you" it's fantastic

Apparently there is an England soccer game tonight which means I wearing noise-cancelling headphones all evening to mute the sound of Brits getting wankered, loud and destructive of public property. Woo.

My Millenial heart is happy Topatoco and its stable of weird internet creators is still going. I spent so many hours as a teen/uni student looking at the site in spite of the fact I was wayyy too poor to afford the merch or shipping from the US

July is Disability Pride Month! We stand in solidarity with our disabled siblings, team members and supporters! #disabilitypride #disabilitypridemonth #transanddisabled

OMG a new Japanese place just opened up in town and their food is DELICIOUS. This is gonna be very dangerous for my wallet

Should document my Pride nails before June’s over. I think I’m getting the hang of gels.

41C in the UK? In 2015 the IPCC warned world leaders not to breach 1.5C as it would unleash “frequent & severe droughts, heatwaves & rainfall.” We’re now on track for 2C in years, 3C in decades & 4C in our children’s lifetimes. The most spectacular failure of leadership in history.

Took a stab.

‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios

Introspective graffiti art in public is the sign of a healthy community #changemymind

As a worker at an org that gets a lot of unsolicited spam emails to our general email address, one feature I wish Mailchimp had was the ability for an email address owner to set a 'do not permit this email address to be added to mailing lists by mailing list creator' toggle.

> Maybe I'll lose weight. Maybe I'll gain superhuman monkey strength. Maybe I'll go crazy. Maybe it's too late. Some blogger 20+ years ago tried to live on Purina Monkey Chow for a week. He made it.

There's a busker that's been turning up lately in a camp chair, a mic and a backing track and singing folksy/country American songs. He's pretty good, but I haven't approached because his sign reads 'All proceeds to go to Trump funeral' and I'm not here to give rich fascists money even symbolically

if I were a more entrepreneurial spirit I would fashion a little usherette tray, fill it with cheap hand fans from Alibaba and make a killing in the city centre right now

I think my bus driver is lost?? We’ve gone three ways around a block we never go around today and now he seems to have skipped a stop

If it’s nekkid it’s free, right?

“I hate opus 4.8 and it hates me” yes!!! Yes!!!!! Sickos dot jpeg

I need to spend some time looking into Ukrainian art history, their artists have a wonderful approach to colour and form

I'd be more jazzed about Starmer's resignation if I had any hope that the next guy won't make things worse for the vulnerable - the only difference is specifically whom and how much :/

In my head all British prisons are basically just The Clink

It is 9:30 in the evening and the cat is lambasting me for not taking him for a walk.

Just saw a herring gull bombing down the road with a large white packet in its mouth that turns out is full of shredded cheese. Happy gull, surely dismayed M&S shopped when they get home and notice their cheese has gone AWOL

Thinking of the women of Iran, enduring so much www.independent.co.uk/news/world/m...

While waiting for a train my SO saw a guy with a cockerel who was saying he was going to use it in cock fights. How do you report something like that? Technically there’s no evidence he’s gonna do it, but that seems sketchy as fuck

read this scary reddit post about a woman’s husband leaving her alone on trail on a hike in banff. with no supplies. during cub season. and then learned that this happens so often it’s called an “alpine divorce” and of course men often face no accountability when their partner’s die this way

And I thought 'elephant graveyard' went hard
