#WildFlowerHour A couple of Petasites fragrans, Winter Heliotrope

Haven't watched much Olympics yet but what I have seen confirms that slomo is not the friend of athletes wearing performance bodysuits.

Heard 2 items on the 1800 5Live news. One about a serial killer of women convicted of further crimes, the other about a horrific paedophile newly convicted. Unfortunately the BBC did not tell us the nationality or citizenship status of them like they usually do, so I can't tell if its good or bad.

I have just learned how The Americans pronounce "buoy" and frankly the end cannot come soon enough for their nation.

lol just heard bbc report that US athletes at the Winter Olympics are accompanied by ICE officers & both are getting booed everywhere they go. organisers ofc telling people to "be respectful" Probably got ICE with them to stop them requesting asylum, like Soviet athletes used to have KGB minders.

Ooh i see there's a whole hour of reform propaganda on bbc2. How nice for them. Cant wait for the one they give the greens. (Insert AnakinPadme meme here)

This reminds me of my (very fucking toxic) manager who, in a supervision, said "I've been looking at your schedule and I see you have 20 minutes blocked out between 1300 and 1320 on Fridays, what are you doing with that time?". I was a Band 8 clinician in a CMHT at that point.

blah blah fucking blah

Occasionally I remember that the woman who runs the "Womens Art" account is a TERF.

[looking out through the wire fence at the guards patrolling the perimeter of the camp] We're on a slippery slope here, people.

I like how Klingon starships look like they're wearing a chic little hat. A sombrero cordobés to be precise. Just very stylish.

Amazing stuff. And by amazing, I do mean absolutely predictably fucking terrible.

I think I might take one of these "under 20 minutes" AI skills courses the UK Govt. seems very keen on everyone doing and live-post it here... Maybe we can all learn something together! The press release sends me to aiskillshub.org.uk/aiskillsboost/ - let's go and see!

BREAKING: Thing I made up that sounds plausible.

hello, retinal migraine, the unbidden laser show.

Reddit rises up

Again noticing the BBC film & doc schedulers seem to be fighting a rearguard action against BBC news & current affairs trumpwashing. Yesterday, film about Auschwitz, today, Diary of Anne Frank.

Just a pair of cats having a lazy #Caturday...

Obviously one would prefer Man City to have got whacked, but its never not funny to see Liverpool fuck it.

I keep seeing posts from some guy called tom roberts all over the various feeds, he's got 13k followers and lots of opinions, but i have zero idea who he is.

I do wonder what the fuck is wrong with American men. Or maybe its that everything in America is so shittily fragile that anything might need repairing at any time? I'm knocking on a bit, but i have *never* met anyone who carried shit like this around in the UK unless for professional purposes.

BBC radio are currently interviewing a guy who says the vast increase in sexual offences in the police is because of "diversity hiring" . Unchallenged, of course .

ME: so is lizard short for elizabethard or elizardbeth ZOOKEEPER: no flirting with the lizard sir

Fucking hell. The takes ... the takes.

mole!

I resent so much waking up every morning and having to hear about Americans.

I found a picture of every argument on bluesky

Cool idea: what if we stopped making everything worse and worse

I have in my hand a pragmatic solution.

Imagine if all music inventions were treated the way AI is. “The bassoon is an inevitable part of music now. We have to learn to live with it. You must find ways of incorporating bassoon into all music you create because the line between human and bassoon will soon become erased.”

Ooh i see everything just got even normaller.

There have been some fucking hilarious results in the pl today.

I generally don't bother commenting on "football politics" but everything about the state of Manchester United over the past few years just provides more evidence that billionaires are fucking idiots.

Is cabbage the new ham? 🤓

Twitter's still dead I see.

New Rule I you're going to have a massive argument on my street please be loud and coherent enough so I can hear everything you are saying

reminder that people will say any old shit on here without checking

Been using the "for you" feed that someone created, and it was OK for ages but somehow I'm now flooded with Irish politics takes, which doesnt really have much relevance for me.

There are very few people I genuinely despise, but Wes Streeting has long since made the list, sitting comfortably alongside Priti Patel and Boris Johnson.
