“40 cloves of garlic pasta sauce but with 40 bulbs instead” Final clove count: 417! Was it edible? Yes! The verdict? The garlic is not the problem here, would make again but with some other adaptations. Our house? Reeks.

Kids today don't realise how hard butt dialling used to be in the old days.

DAILY MAIL POLL OF THE DAY: “Should people have to wear face masks in medical facilities, as Violet Affleck suggests?” Please cast your vote using the link below: Link: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Housemate lent my copy of the Modern Lovers first album to her then boyfriend, who I'd been to school with and knew how he treated records. It never came back but I'm certain it ended up scratched and coated in filth.

Bond will be a fresh faced actor.

Just had an email from someone excitedly offering advice on selling my business and my "exit strategy". Good luck with that, as the business is just me doing stuff for people.

My strangely unpopular opinion is that it's a sign of defective moral character to not graciously give up your wallet to the wallet inspector.

"Got called an exploitative ghoul at the funeral today" "Why's that, bro?" "Was being an exploitative ghoul"

I know a lad who has yet to complete a PhD on the Wake. He is twenty years in. Emaciated. He has nearly died of Covid twice. He lives in Florida and his day job is literally selling guns. Dangerous reading

Why oh why is nobody's list of favourite sitcoms the same as the one I would post if I could be bothered? #YouAreAllWrong

once saw a guy suspending a kids bmx bike from his earlobes at a pub

One day, long ago, in one such bar in Brighton, I watched as a man picked up a stack of heavy wooden tables using only his teeth. Why? Because he could.

Imagine watching Rutland Weekend Television - Eric idle's low budget regional broadcasting spoof/surreal music-hall half-hour - on sleepy old BBc2 and Acttual Beatle George Fucking Harrison turns up in his Bangladesh Concert suit, plays the intro to My Sweet Lord, and then...

please, think about the damage you might cause before sending an invoice

Fuck Charlie Kirk, & fuck sideways off a cliff anyone who supports Charlie Kirk.

Most of early AI research was about representing knowledge and modelling reasoning. LLMs don't do either of these things, but somehow magically they one day will, if only we BELIEVE hard enough.

Name the band. I'll start: Frot Against The Machine.

I wandered lonely as a cloud That flies on high o'er flat-roof inns, When all at once I saw a crowd, A-drinking beer next to the bins; Beside the Spar, beneath the flats, Cackling and calling me a twat.

Ernie, literally the fastest milkman in the west.

Now playing: Isaac Hayes, "By The Time I Get To Phoenix (I'll Have Finished This Song, Possibly)". People just don't do this sort of thing any more. Too much like hard work.

Groypers are small, knobbly, ball-bearings that impart an irregular jerky motion to automata.

@mrdankelly.bsky.social I see Cop Porn is now a podcast.

You join us live from Danny Dyer’s birthday drinks.

We can anticipate the answer, but let's hope for something better than the usual "our coverage reflects the public interest fairly because we say so, so there."

Before I woke up this morning I was being told off for leaving a bottle-top on my desk. Strangely, I wasn't being told off for being at work shirtless, albeit wearing a dressing-gown. My "boss" was smoking a cigarette in the office, so who was he to lecture anyone?

Cybersecurity peeps - I am looking for guidance on protecting electronics, credit cards etc while traveling. I know you're out there. TIA! 🔐🚨

#Damp. Selling house, buyer's surveyor found "dry rot" in cellar. Buyer sent round a firm to check further, confirmed dry rot, quoted £4500 to treat. £4500. FOR ONE DAY'S WORK. Got another guy in, he said wet, not dry rot, and if I removed the affected word myself, he'd treat for: £750. Oi!

Has anybody read translations (from German) done by Mark S. Burrows?

Thanks for doing this, Ryan. This should be shared, far and wide.

Rupert Hine's incredible electronic score and sound effects for 1978 film The Shout (starring Alan Bates, Susannah York, John Hurt & Tim Curry) will be out on Buried Treasure late Autumn.

Always happy to remind you of the time someone asked me, "are you Annette's husband?". Sadly, I wasn't.

Post a PERFECT album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana or Pearl Jam.

This reminds me of "twirly", one I came across in Worthing, where there used to be a cheap bus fare for pensioners from 10 am onwards. A twirly was an elderly person who would get on a bus at 9.45 and ask the driver "am I too early?"

So named not because they are stable, but because they stink of horseshit.

Rudy coming to get his MEDAL OF FREEDOM

Yeah I'm back on "He's Definitely Dead And They're Covering It Up."

2,500 more signatures needed to get us to 10k. Help us get there. Anyone you know who wants fair coverage, pass them this way to sign. Democracy matters and our broadcasters need to report on ALL parties! They’re currently failing us. Here’s the link. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

A friend of mine was out in Sheffield wearing a Sun Ra t-shirt, 3 guys came up to him and said, "Sun Ra, what the fuck do you know about Sun Ra? Name 3 albums!" He did so. They responded, "Ok, you can have a picture taken with us". (It was Public Enemy. There's a pic somewhere!)

Maybe he's not dead, but in an excess of irony, his entire body has turned black.

Roses are red Violets make me cough

Holiday reading.

TW. Needs to be widely shared with cisgender people, especially politicians. Utterly horrifying that Britain has come to this- that most of Britain is just looking the other way while a whole community is being eliminated from society because of lies and hatred. transactual.org.uk/wp-content/u...

so great to see this getting covered, and the only correction I would offer is that it wasn’t dozens of accounts posting in solidarity, it was hundreds. you can see a ton of cis people here in the replies and quotes being quite explicit and none of us got banned
