Trending is utter nonsense tonight. How does this even work? Who decides the 'topic'? Everything under "Scottish Independence is about Hungary & Trump (as far as I could be bothered to scroll).

A surprise to absolutely no-one part #2,556

Finally went through all my open tabs on Note Pad, worked out what they were for and saved/deleted them. I think I had over 15 of the damn things.

Miah: I'm sorry, were you under the impression this is your spot? #whippet #DogsOfBluesky

Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

Went to give blood yesterday and got turned down. Turns out the MRI I had a month ago that I wasn't aware I was getting until I got the appt is classed as something that stops me donating until I have results. Let's hope it doesn't take 2yrs to get them like my last DEXA scan. ⏳

Today was nail clipping day. She is unimpressed.

The Greatest of all Units.

In the shed. Armed with my dibber*. *Not sexy slang

Really, Blizzard?

This 'Dept of War' press conference is the most self-congratulatory bollocks I've ever heard. Wonder if they'll finish it up by dropping their troosers and knocking one out.

As amusing as the TACO thing has been, and I'm not sure it was even that amusing. WTF would you prefer he do? Bomb millions of civilians? Maybe we could not minimise the threat to global security the tangerine shitgibbon poses with 'clever' acronyms.

This headline... 😂

Hhhahahaha No.

This looks interesting...

Eyeing up some reasonably priced refillable acrylic brush pens. They seem like perfect sketchbook media.. uk.ohuhu.com/collections/...

Interesting that 'Discover' is awash with *that* post and yet nothing is trending. I find the trending a bit weird, it's summarized, not specific hashtags. *shrugs* Also. It's not him. Miller or Kegsbreath. Has to be. Still going with the latter due to key words.

Well.. that's amusing. The horrible screeching noise that drives people barmy in The Night of the Big Heat is almost the same pitch as my tinnitus, and yeh it feels about as loud at times.

Night of the Big Heat is on tv again. Possibly the sweatiest film I've ever seen.

Just realised that I've exported 2 days worth of conference videos and got the session title and the speaker the wrong way around in the intro. Now exporting all of them again. 😮‍💨 BTW, DaVinci Resolve effin' slaps (yes the free version). Not missing Adobe one iota for video editing.

Oh that's definitely Kegsbreath. Where's Mango Mussolini at then?

Definitely did not write this. The use of the word "warfighters" means my money's on Kegsbreath. @alttext.bsky.social

I, Claudius had high school theater production design energy and is still one of the best things ever shown on television.

1. Bone of contention for me this one. Husband is 65 2 months before I hit 60. Under the old rules we would retire within two months of each other. Now he has to work for an extra 2 and I have to work for an extra 7, and he will retire 5 years before me. Assuming we can even afford to retire..

Storm Dave due today, then.

Election leaflets coming thick and fast now. The tory one is jumping on every widely known local issue here, but here's the thing. It's been a tory area for ages and wtf have you done about any of it? Zip. Nada. Don't give me 2 sides of A4 gobshite about your concerns when you do nothing.

Absolutely sick of people letting their dogs shit and piss everywhere on our street/down the park, especially when they don't pick it up. I walk around with a bag in my hand just so people don't think it's me. Big labrador+ sized turds even on the church grounds. Also, give them a better diet. 🤢

Huh. I completely forgot it's Good Friday today. Oh well.

Rather stupidly, last night I asked @ninjabeaveruncut.bsky.social to put the hydrangea I'd been overwintering in the porch outside. Mostly because I was sick of squishing aphids. There was a frost and today all the tiny new blooms are dead. Pruning back a bit will help, right? 😥

I'd question the sanity of anyone prepared to pay these sums. Plus going to the US is a massive 'nope' anyway.

Tinnitus so bad this morning it's like someone's blowing a trumpet down my ear. I am cranky. Will not suffer fools gladly so best avoid Fanta Führer's stream of dribble from last night I guess.

I'll admit I don't know what the birdshit app is like as I've been gone so long but Bluesky is getting rancid with AI slop videos, even without it's own built in plagiarism machine.

Well I got Affinity Studio installed on Fedora, but no UI scaling and this is a 4K 13" laptop. Managed to tell it to increase the UI scaling but as it's not native in the app it's blurry AF. So the choices are blurry, or ant sized. *sigh.

Decided to ditch Bazzite and try Fedora. Install was as smooth as butter, now all I need to do is get my software installed. Buhahhaha...

Just go then, you old windbag. You're not a reliable ally anyway.

The world is lurching around on the whim of a mad man. Screw this timeline.

I actually fell for this. Eejit. In my defence I am tired, and I forgot the date.

Hahahahahaha... So that's where the plane is going then. Not a book in sight either.

Jebus. You couldn't make it up. Most of the disinformation comes from X and The White House 'The cable...also suggests embassies and consulates work alongside the US military’s psychological operations unit to address the problem of rampant disinformation.'

"addled" or Adderalled?

Nova put up two rabbits at once this morning and Miah joined in. Damn girl... you might've been 12 yesterday but you can still out run anything that's not a younger sighthound. But not rabbits, crafty sods have bolt holes all over the park.

Gas skyrocketing, bombs dropping, our standing in the world in tatters, taxpayer dollars up in flames — meanwhile this oligarch dictator wanna-be brags about his new ballroom and the “Corinthian” columns How is every American not sickened by this?

Post an image you can hear...

Going from my 4K 13" laptop back to my 27" 2.5k desktop screen is a bit jarring.

Finally got Bazzite installed on my laptop. Posting through Waterfox on there now. I'll be interested to see if my battery is still moosed on this laptop. Currently looking like it is, but we'll see.

Wobbling around the edge of vertigo so the sensible thing is ... Nap time.

Soppy dog thread incoming 🧵 1 Happy Birthday to our gorgeous Miah, 12 today. You have enriched our lives so much over the last 12 years and I cannot imagine life without you. Sparky, silly, beautiful. Great with other dogs and people, you are just the best whippet ever. I am, of course, biased

Every time Trump is doing his desk bound bullshit these days my brain automatically inserts the accordion.

Why yes, it's just as stupid and idiotic as you imagined.
