McDonalds has launched a new burger called a "Big Arch". They renamed it in Germany but they haven't in the German/Germanic dialect speaking French region of Alsace where "Arch" sounds a lot like "Arsch", in English "Arse". Would you like fries with your Big Arse?

This morning, before dawn, the setting moon looked like sunset. It was eerie, I knew the sun was about to rise behind me. It was like waking up to a suddenly fractured world.

Sure, sometimes you need to tough it out but more often it’s the support of the people around you that gets you through it. Learn to build communities, value your connections; trying to tough it out every time will break you in the end.

Before WW2 the UK was the world's biggest creditor. After, it became the world's biggest debtor. All the money went to the US. I've no idea why the current US is complaining; war is massively in their favour financially. cc @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Judging by the way the dogs were reacting, these guys were in my hay field today. Fortunately they didn’t realise the deer were only in the next field, otherwise it would have been a major “Fenton!” moment.

This is seriously impressive but also, unless it can make me a gin and tonic, useless. It can't even open a bag of dry roasted peanuts. Hopeless. What? Strap a gun to it? Oh fuck...

Dear @jay.bsky.team . I'm so sorry about what's happening to your country but I'm a European and I don't need to hear about every detail. The 'Discover' feed is unusable now and "less of this" is useless, nothing but US news and comment. Please, please, please can we have a regional Discover feed?

one great mystery of our age is how the only way to motivate rich people to work is to give them loads of money for no reason but the only way to motivate poor people to work is to take away loads of their money for no reason

I'd love to post beautiful photos like this but, for example, the only wildlife I saw yesterday was 2 hedgehogs shagging. I respected the privacy of their moment. I did not take a photo.
