Adding stretch velour to the "fabrics I will have no truck with" list. The second it is near any other fabric it velcroes (velcros?) itself on and things become Unpleasant. The other one is brocade. Once cut not only does the edge fray like it's an Olympic sport, but tiny fibres then go EVERYWHERE.

Today is National Biscuit Day, and it’s about time that I populated this account with biscuit (cookie) sets from the past few years. Here are some of my favourites. 🧵 First up, a set inspired by the delicious designs of William Morris and John Henry Dearle.

Men are extremely keen to explain to me that Britain *needs* a domestic steel production plant and doesn't necessarily *need* universities. Okay. Steel contributed about £1.7bn to the UK economy in 2024. Universities contributed more than £200bn.

People like Andrew Tate are literally the reason laws exist. Like one caveman looked at another caveman one day and said bro, we need boundaries

Wild story out of Germany: a 27-year-old visited family in Romania and his car was stolen. He used a location service to learn that it was driven back to Germany, to a town not far from his home. So he went there and used his 2nd key to just steal the car back, without even notifying the cops. 1/2

Miss Rachel isn’t on Bluesky, but her posts about Gaza should be. I wish this wasn’t so unusual to see from people with big platforms.

someone has done a really incredible job of organizing all the waving of palestinian flags in unavoidable camera shot locations in the Giro d'Italia

Life was yuk, so I patterned & sewed new nighties from discount fabric, so I have three in rotation. Made the mistake of sending photos to mother, to show off. Her response: they look great! So, no job yet? Every time. It's like having a project manager who has THOUGHTS about your latest report.

I'd say "set it all on fire" but these tech fucknuckles have already done enough environmental damage. If your business model is based on stealing and not paying people, IT IS NOT A BUSINESS MODEL.

I want to offer a public apology to FDA head Marty Makary for calling him an ignorant piece of shit in a post last night. I just learned he is an islet transplant surgeon. Yes, the cells that produce insulin. I was wrong. He is not ignorant. This piece of shit knows *exactly* what he is doing.

And the algorithm delivers something good: another setting of the 1915 recording of the Kipling poem "Boots" by Taylor Holmes, which seems to sit perfectly with the intense storytelling of #Andor (S1 + S2). youtu.be/rU9RbFrLvqg?...

We killed an ENTIRE FLU with bandanas and going shopping less. The flu could kill me but I assume you don't want the flu, either. With improved HVAC systems, we don't even need to go shopping less. A better world is possible with collective effort.

another beautiful fanwork for #Andor season 1: a live-loop electric cellist creating a lyrical six-minute piece based on the main Andor theme. Despite the tension and drive in the music, it's meditative and not a little haunting. youtu.be/lAZptK-LzmM?...

Can we start using "LLMs" instead of AI? It is not intelligence, it's a plethora of Large Language Models scraping the marrow out of the internet's spine, and burning precious resources to create something nobody asked for, and nobody wants to read or look at.

Some fanvids are incredible, capturing some essential quality of a work you didn't quite know was there. Clips from #Andor season 1, laid over Taylor Holmes' *1915* recitation of 'Boots' by Kipling - the long forced march to rebellion. youtu.be/1MM5SUhR3hs?...

It's interesting to think of how adults with type 1 diabetes is a recent thing, up til very recently you simply died as a child. Access to an exogenous hormone allowed humans to become T1D adults. To actually grow up. Better access, allowed them to have lives virtually identical to insulin-havers
