Julian, Dick and Anne wouldn't have thought of this. This is all George and Timmy's doing.

"oh it doesn't come with a wig" Then why does the title say "with wig" and all the pictures show one, you deceptive gitbags?

Advert: "have you considered a watch encrusted with diamonds!?" Me: "Yes. And quite apart from the price, I've concluded that they all look shite"

Eyes Sunday?

Happy birthday to this young man, and really to us all

Unfortunately it is well documented that pain is infact a slight corruption of "Paine" and it's inventor, Mr Thomas Paine, is quite dead. There's songs about his bones and everything: music.youtube.com/watch?v=IFzz...

...Another thing my FB feed is starting to shove in my face is local councillors (often for surrounding areas) All doing the same routine: Compo face outside some issue, either self sorting or totally out of thier control, about which they have no clue. Almost all Tories or Tory Adjacent.

So if you liked my Lamenters Battlecry video I feel you'll probably get a kick out of R.R. Slugger's latest. I like how 'someone actually checks the sources' is an entire genre of video. youtu.be/ZAQ9_54FXlY?...

Sad times. Time to move on my gorgeous leather coat. Just doesn't fit me anymore, and it's not going to.

According to the guy at my local airsoft shop I'm "one of those people (derogatory)*"

Jesus Christ this is basically the perfect car.

Oh yay. My cosplay for a few weeks time arrived, with: missing parts (no wig) A buggered up jacket (lining twisted in the arm, so you can't actually put your arm through) So now I have to go open up another fucking customer service complaint, to join the one for the watch Evri stole*

redrew an old comic for fun :)

It's a terrible idea for my next car to be a Subaru Forester...And yet...

1) Ban medication being prescribed because you say there is insufficient evidence to support it, even though it's prescribed internationally 2) Say you're going to set up a trial to get evidence that it's safe and effective 3) Pause that trial getting evidence because of "unquantified risk"

Anybody who has used Paypal Business - what's the play here? It should have cleared by now? I took a large commission and it said this, googling this brings up either 1. I need to accept the payment (no option to, anywhere), or 2. I haven't given paypal documentation that they need (not the case)

"It's London fashion week, and [??????] have introduced dayjamas, they are pyjamas for when you just want to spend the day on the sofa" THAT'S JUST PYJAMAS. THAT'S JUST NORMAL PYJAMAS. YOU DON'T NEED TO OVER COMPLICATE THIS.

Yeah, sure, I'll spend an hour or two after I get home from a long shift, planning my character for a LARP that: 1) I don't have the dates for yet 2) I don't have the rules document for yet 3) May never happen 4) Even if it does...my plan may not be viable. Still, beats doing the washing up*

Or maybe I should pick up a Polaroid camera (or more practical I guess a Fuji Instax)

(they meant "transparency" back then, as in: film negatives instead of polaroids)

Uh, thanks Polaroid, I guess. I have questions about the "almost" there though ...

Maybe I should get back into film photography. Maybe I need an Olympus XA?

American friends, this is good for you.

ON HIS FUCKING BIRTHDAY

Ah yes, Wheetus' classic song about a Mongolian tent storage container made 13+ years ago. . . . . Teenaged yurt-bag

The only downside to introducing a bunch of friends to Biggles: Adventures in time is you find yourself wondering: Would I look good in a leather flying coat?

is it against the rules in biathlon to shoot the other competitors. just feels like a pretty obvious loophole i’d want to close otherwise

It's basically over for y'all. I'm forklift* certified! *for a given value of forklift

Scotty diligently marking in red the places on board the Enterprise where he has hidden bottles of booze

....yeah, that tracks.

Thing is, I don't get why these companies keep trying to create robots. The perfect robot already exists: his name is Johnny five!

I had one of these slick little numbers (or at least something close to it)

If you ever wanted proof that AIs are actually able to replace human workers, here it is: previously it was the doctor themselves gatekeeping medical care from anyone they viewed to be insufficiently deferential.

The Labour Government is implementing conversion practices on trans youth, they will never ban conversion therapy

Well that's my next few evenings spoken for

Less fabric= less air resistance. Makes you go faster.

HAM RADIO

Same with housing. I talked to an old landlord and she admitted that if someone with the same quality I had but wasn't Trans the apartment would have gone to them. And this is in Vancouver, about as trans friendly a place as exists.

A while ago, one of my managers (who's broadly pretty good, let me be clear) told me something chilling: I almost didn't get the job. Because I'm trans. That was it. I was a really good candidate on paper & at interview. But there was a moment where she was going to go for a different candidate 1/2

She's right and she should say it. A bounty hunter needs a ship you can...well, carry a bounty in.

I could fix her. But why would I want to?

one of the other flats in the building is apparently an AirBnB now. Which isn't in of itself an issue. But: It's an AirBnB where the host hasn't shown up to let the guests in. Which means I'm now answering the door, and having to navigate talking to the guests WITH NO CLUE WHAT'S GOING ON.

Note here that the way this program was structured, it was very difficult to actually offload your shares. Which means even if you wanted to get rid because of all the accusations....you only really had a couple of chances to do it

Olympic Biathlon should be done with WWII era anti tank rifles

@killjamesbond.bsky.social bad news. There's likely to be another. And well, the arc of quality for this series......

"Cleig Lars, Shmi is my wife"

Ok. initially I thought the "oh yeah, [lady from a different department] is into [other member of my team]" was a joke. But I swear to god, today she was following behind him making puppy dog eyes and doing the 👉👈 thing.

Why am I learning to weld? Because I can never BE her, but I can at least be a bit her.....

the Labour government continues to be evil
