WHAAAAT

I GET LOGGED OUT. BUT I LOG IN AGAIN

My Bank Holiday, such as it is, starts in 27 minutes.

Couldn't resist. @wretchedmorgan.bsky.social

Evil is not just banal, it’s excruciatingly pathetic.

Bobbing up and down in the water was what looked like a magnetic mine. I threw stones at it and hit it once. Nothing happened.

never fucking forgive them for what they've done to the computer

happy 10th birthday to The Nice Guys, one of the best movies ever made

Ura is The People’s Champ. If you’re looking for someone to root for, I recommend Ura. He’s from Kyoto. When there is a tournament in Osaka he gets more cheers than hometown boy Asakoryu. Jungyo in London? Most cheers. Why? When you’re the People’s Champ, every town is your hometown.

Despondent Shohei Ohtani Figured He Would Have Met Steve-O After 8 Years In U.S.

There's a serious lack of Jilly Cooper on this list.

Bored in a terrible local government job, I used to amuse myself by editing Wikipedia but ended up banned after repeatedly changing Bruce Forsyth's catchphrase to "nice to see you, nice to see you too".

There is a misinformation campaign afoot designed to fool us all into thinking hailstorms are a weather event exclusive to winter. Hailstorms are most common during summer storms when strong winds sweep moisture up to freezing altitudes! Come on now.

Look at this beautiful horse.

So Badgers has been added to the BFI archives. Honestly this feels like quiite an honor. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNqb...

What a grim world we live in that doing a bit of gay porn which brings people sexy joy is more shameful than being a councillor for the party of hate.

Gosh, are we going to do something about the people pushing a terrifying all channels carnival of hate and fear where migrants get the blame for all social woes?

a) this is absolutely right, and b) this skeet literally uses AI's beloved 'it's not X, it's Y' construction BECAUSE THAT IS HOW PEOPLE USE LANGUAGE AND WE WERE HERE FIRST.

A while back, Bath’s main post office was reduced to a counter upstairs in the WHSmiths in the middle of town. It was already chaotic, and it’s only got worse - and the idea that a city could at any point be left without a central post office is pretty shocking www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Happy Rivals Series 2 Day to all who celebrate 🥂

Incredible

“The Elder Scrolls” is what they say about you when you’re on your phone!

Utagawa Kuniyoshi, 1846 #JapaneseArt

Fuck off forever with this “why can’t I just configure the creative work of others to meet my specifications?” bullshit. Sorry but part of engaging with the creative work of others has to be engaging with the choices they made. Feel free to critique them but art is not your Starbucks drink order.

Decided to let an alleyway pick dinner.

This is wild: Yomiuri News reports that due to the Iran War, Japan is facing a critical shortage in naphtha, a key material in making potato chip bags, and printing ink. As a result, the snack giant Calbee has announced that they are adopt black-and-white packaging for most key products 🫠 🫠 🫠

I AM SO EXCITED

My favorite mother’s day cartoon from the stupendous @rosemarymosco.com

Another big boat in Leith. For a sense of scale, observe the light house in the first few shots, and perhaps the people under the yellow hook on the deck, in the later shots. This is the Seaway Alfa Lift, and it’s picking up bits of wind turbine to be […] [Original post on mastodon.scot]

THE NICE GUYS doodle

been stuck in this m&s for ages because richard dawkins won't stop hitting on the self checkout machine

Shaved 5 minutes off my morning routine by brushing my teeth and riding the mechanical duck outside the supermarket at the same time

Evergreen headline.

This is not the lionhearted England of which Kate Bush did sing.

Why do people love punching themselves in head so much? x

🚨 4 hours until the polls close! Together we can build a fairer, greener, kinder Scotland. Let's demand better. 🗳️ Everyone in Scotland can vote Scottish Greens on the peach ballot paper ✉️ If you have a postal vote you can hand it in 🪪 You DON'T need photo ID in Scotland

Casting votes, is it.

This is still the hottest thing I have ever seen a man do and I will watch it every time.

I sat my Media Studies A Level exam in summer 1997. I stg nothing I have studied before or since has been anywhere near as useful for navigating the world we live in.

Just heard self-centred hypocrite Nigel Farage on BBC News say that no British politician has been physically attacked more than him. An insult to the memory of Jo Cox and David Amess, both murdered.

One of my favorite Oscar Wilde anecdotes is that he once did a reading and Q&A in a mine. With miners. Like down a mineshaft. He had this crazy idea that everybody of every occupation deserved and could benefit from art and information
