HEY a cool thing to do this weekend would be getting Winifred over the finish line so we can get her some reliable baby-catching transportation, much as I assume the ridehshare drivers are probably enjoying being part of the moment (I would lol)

one argument for "natural" burial instead of cremation is that you get to be part of a gigantic mycelial network

Not for the first time, it looks like Channel 4 just handed the keys to their socials to an evil genius:

Diplomatic Bollard does rather sum up the man and the number of u-turns people around him have to do. At some point some nans are going to plonk a knitted version of Fiona, Rachel and Stephen in the turret on his head.

“Your mad wife burned Thornfield to the ground? Surely you can’t be serious.” “I am. And don’t call me Shirley.” — Jane Eyreplane

"how do your minis scale with (insert other manufacturer)?"

"for the first time this evening there are empty red seats". if I were a Senegal fan I'd be a bit concerned the Moroccan fans are waiting outside... #AFCON #SENvMAR

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE. #AFCON #AfconFinal

E4's attempt to shoe-horn ads in is not smooth #AFCON #SENvMAR

also, that ref must be shitting himself at the thought of another 30 minutes after those decisions #AFCON #SENvMAR

I've always been fond of Mane since we saw his (terrible) debut for Saints in a soggy Sheffield. love him going into the dressing room and dragging the team back out after their manager's strop. Surely the true deserver of the FIFA peace prize #AFCON #SENvMAR

VAR going back and forth over the same two seconds like they're expecting someone to drop a beat over it #AFCON #SENvMAR

I don't normal reskeet without alt text, but this is a fascinating insight into middle Eastern politics that's let a few things fall into place for me.

the girl who started Dashcon, the ill-fated tumblr convention with the notorious ballpit, is now the only US citizen legally allowed to research critically endangered pygmy raccoons. so. i should strive for a next-act swerve that dramatic

'And then they were there! In Jurassic Park, where some of the dinosaurs were so big that they were the height of a normal man. "what good dinosaurs" said Dr Grant, patting a Brontosaurus on the head. "I'm impressed by the security fence," added Dr Malcolm, stepping over it'

Me: The 'velociraptors' in Jurassic park aren't actually velociraptors - actual velociraptors were quite small and cute, about the size of a chicken Crichton, petting a 5ft dinosaur that only comes up to his knee: Small & cute. Velociraptor.

Small Child insisted she was too tired to do her reading book and took herself off to bed, so i made her turn the lights off in the hope she'd get bored. instead she's fallen asleep. so, uh, bedtime's fucked.

Here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.

Rest well, king.

"It is the most shattering experience of a US President‘s life when one morning he awakes and quite reasonably says to himself 'I will never defeat the Dane.' “When that moment comes, one's ambition ceases."

Everything reminds me of him...

Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

excellent thread, but also I was baffled as to why it broke for me before I realised having "Musk" on mute also takes out "musk-rose".

Up periscope.

I felt like making some art last night/today and could have made something beautiful and/or meaningful but I made this instead. It's a Barbie Yaga Malibu Dream Hut. No regrets. Can't defeat fascism without joy.

we finally get the second scroll! #TraitorUncloaked #TheTraitors

So Matt got engaged on Harris which is where Stephen is from? Hmmm #TheTraitors

one thing I think throws off the round table discussions is they think they're naming traitors but actually it's just naming people they don't want to share the prize with, which is why generic white man who stole the Shield is getting such heat #TheTraitors

There's a Steve Buscemi in all of us...

OK. Green smoke. Coloured smoke grenades have existed for decades. They are for signalling purposes. They are not meant for riot control purposes. As with any smoke, they are irritating, but they are not meant for that purpose, so use as "riot control" agents is an off-label usage.

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties. The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized. Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

The pump recovered from the Mary Rose, presented here as a thread. (Well, it has to be a thread, the blooming thing's over 8.22m (4.49 fathoms) long!)

#thetraitors #thetraitorsuk i just wanna throw Stephen against a velcro wall in that ridiculous outfit

Stephen serving lazy town #TheTraitors

BIG fan of Stephen's Totally Spies! outfit this evening #TraitorsUK #TheTraitors

Stephen: “My god, is that person okay? Claudia: “It’s fine, don’t worry, they’re dead!” 😂 #TheTraitors

Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.

I’m sorry what

Someone next door is listening to The Traitors podcast (the non TV one) >_< maybe we should start watch party with the students

Clare Balding has Stephen face watching back Harriet accusing Rachel in the confessional #TraitorsUncloaked (Also, "she knows horse stuff" is hilarious)

Seduce Jade! #TheTraitors

My take on this from both Harriet and Fiona is that you can’t lone wolf it and then loudly announce, you’ve got to buy people in on your world so the majority is coming with you #thetraitors

Harriet's "you're a traitor, you're a traitor, you're all traitors" (five? after two are already out?) suggested she thinks they're sat in that turret nominating each other for murder. which, well, not actually far off. #TheTraitors
