Me: “The Tendi toy can’t hurt you.” Tendi toy:

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Today is girl's day (Thirteen and Missy) ⭐

Are you sure that’s a poem, and not [checks notes] a recipe for soup?

I know comments can be annoying but my god the sheer amount of complaining I see on here about the way people comment (in harmless but annoying ways) is so tedious. If you want to make posts in a public community you can't only demand funny zingers in return.

Starmer Genie Effect

This is Bowser. He thought the doorstop was a back scratcher at first, but then realized it is actually an enemy. 12/10

Pancake on the streets of London. Pancake on the streets of Birmingham.

Set up my energy supplier so that's a big win for this morning. Little bewildered that my quote is £140 less per month than the previous owners (same supplier), even if there were three of them.

this is all stuff I faintly remember reading about at the time but reading about Zelenskyy's election campaign now feels entirely absurd, he really was just a comedian who ran mostly via YouTube and stand-up, as a bit, and he's now the west's greatest 21st century wartime leader

Dear YouTube, Yes, Two Point Museum videos ARE an algorithmically correct shout for me. But have mercy on a girl without a pc able to run it yet... seeing streamers playing it worse than I would is torture. (Not bragging here, I am very, very, very good at Two Point games)

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

Just seen the Oscars mood described as 'febrile' in a clear sign that The Guardian misses reporting on Tory chaos.

NEW: Keir Starmer commits the UK to putting “boots on the ground and planes in the air” to defend Ukraine as part of a peace deal. A show of strength and solidarity, against the backdrop of Trump’s unfolding betrayal.

Amazing the difference that a day of rest, 11 hours sleep, and not waking up in a place that causes me psychic damage makes. Have powered through some unboxing, cleaned, cooked lunch, put the dishes on, and built some more of my lego kit. Now for a bit of rest before the craziness starts up again.

My favourite episode is the one where Poirot gets a shoulder-mounted cannon.

Starmer to Zelenskyy: You are very very welcome here in Downing Street. As you heard from the cheers outside, you have full backing across the United Kingdom.

I learnt a lot about disability history researching this article! I hope you can learn things too, and maybe check the manga out if you haven't already! It's available on the Viz Media App as well as from all bookstores both good and evil 🧜‍♀️👑

Keir Starmer embraces President Zelensky as he arrives at Downing St.

Listening to the Peter Dinklage Poirot on Audible and I'd take a film with him as Poirot x1000 over the Branagh vanity projects. It helps that we've seen him playing ferociously smart characters before, where Branagh is best known for his cheerful fools.

I can and will never apologise for the posts I choose to make

I have internet, I have a sofa, I have TV, I have food in, and I have a load of laundry on. I am now going to (mostly) relax until Monday when I have to Do Things again.

Well after two weeks of hyper stress, physical effort, financial chaos, no introvert time, and huge, up-ending (exciting) life changes... my mental health has crashed. Who saw that coming? Going to spend the weekend chilling as much as possible.

A canon rare pair appears 🥛🧅🕵️‍♂️ It's post covid and they are going to a show together 🎟️🎟️ (Benoit Blanc/Phillip)

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

The move today has been a nightmare. It's 9pm, I've been prepping and fretting since 9am, and I still don't know when they are going to show up. If they show up too late they'll disturb my new neighbours. And I really, REALLY want to go to bed and cry.

happy 8 year anniversary to horizon zero dawn aka probably one of the greatest sci fi narratives in history

I'll give you one chance at honesty. Did you insinuate my wife was a prostitute on the Plymouth Herald comments section?

beavers are one of my favourite animals. just seeing a river and thinking “absolutely the fuck not”

I actually don't have THAT much to do in the next 2 hours but I've built it up in my head so time for a bribe myself thread. One book for each of these: 1. Clean kitchen area 2. Take out remaining bin bags 3. Get down boxes on high shelf 4. Take out vacuum packed bags and re-vacuum where needed

No one on the left or right wants to give Starmer credit for it. But there was real skill and self-restraint in that performance. Everyone who’s had to deal with a powerful idiot will recognise it.

Oof. Just because I'm 5'1 and therefore CAN sleep on a two seater sofa... doesn't mean I SHOULD. I feel like a human pretzel.

Wedding Facebook is absolutely wild.
