Got the bugger #skycards

Y'all they really just fucking highlighted the text black in word on the redacted Epstein files. At least for the digital text files anyway. You can just fucking copy and paste it elsewhere to read it LMAO. I just tried it because I was like there's no fucking way and shit worked flawless.

And yet more stunning communication from my GP, who sends me a message asking me a question, but with replies turmed off.

say what you will about Andrew Tate, but his decision to not have a chin likely saved his life in that fight. Just one of those uppercuts would've killed Bruce Campbell.

- Why do you experts always think you're right? - Why do you think the more inexpert you are, the more likely *you* are to be right?" Yes Minister, The Greasy Pole, 1981.

Was it @mthrjo.bsky.social who suggested that this year's Kimg William quiz was a bit easy? It must be because I got 8 out of 180 and was tantalizingly within a quick google of a couple of others.

British Quakers are refusing room bookings from terfs as policy. If you were waiting for an org to stand up for LGBTQIA+ rights, and unflinchingly withstand bullying and lawfare, here you go, friends. Good luck to the raging bigots, they'll get nowhere with threats.

I heard there was a secret meat With paprika, and spicy heat But you don't really care for sausage Nduja ...sorry, I can delete this. I've just seen a few posts in this format and I wanted in.

I don't know why particularly but researching stuff for YouTube means I've ended up close to blubbering at three separate sporting events in the summer of '95: Jean Alesi and Johnny Herbert winning their maiden Grands Prix bracketing South Africa winning the Rugby World Cup.

Went to Belfast for a weekend away with my wife. Saw a parade going past and assumed it would a great Gay Pride event. It turns out I know very little about Northern Ireland and the orange people don't want to be joined by lesbians. That said, we had a lovely weekend.

They* said it couldn't be done! But Mr Rational Amounts of Confectionery Architecture has long left the building, so I present...the Gingerbread Street. *me

My usual Friday night #totp snarking has randomly resulted in 2 people following me, both of whom list F1 among their interests in their bios, so I suppose I should drop a link to my YT channel... youtube.com/@turbostantr...

All this talk of the new GBRail livery etc has reminded me of this cracking series of blog posts on the history of BR's corporate identity. Sort of thing @jonnelledge.bsky.social and @garybrannan.bsky.social might be interested in thebeautyoftransport.com/2015/02/18/l...

We really need to double down on outwardly stating our work does not contain AI. We're seeing it in movie credits and books, we have to start putting it on things we make and pressuring others to label their work as human made, and normalize that as much as we can, I think. stuff like this maybe

ODYSSEUS: wife I am home after 20 years PENELOPE: oh shit I mean honey you are home how wonderful ODYSSEUS: who are all these strange men PENELOPE: well, I'll tell you what they're definitely not, which is a 300 person polycule ruling in your absence

I wasn't fully paying attention during the link into that Legs & Co number - did he say something about the new England manager, and if so, why? #totp

And still, there are those who say that Americans can’t do irony.

Just happened upon this on one of the satellite channels - never heard of it but lots of lovely aerial sequences with Hawker Hunters and DH Vampires, plus a fine cast & directed by Terence Young m.imdb.com/title/tt0049...

You have Madness, the Specials AND the Selecter in the chart and we get this? #TOTP
