About the only news I can handle these days is found in the Daily Carrot

Absolute stand-out logic here from Farage: Ukraine should be able to hold an election in wartime because Britain held one between VE and VJ Days. Yes, if the nearest frontline to Ukraine in the Russo-Ukraine War was 5,000 miles away, I’d probably expect them to hold elections on schedule too.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

The ridiculous size of phones is basically the reason I kept an iphone 3 (yes, 3...) going until eventually giving it and replacing it with a 13 mini. I don't understand why they don't do a mini of each model, we don't mind paying the same so it's literally pure profit?!

Repost Fromager - Know your Cheese (Tag yourself, I am Époisses)

The ‘Narrator About To Ruin Your Audiobook’ Talent Agency

Stumbled upon this from yonks ago. Owl identification made easy

"Galloped" is doing some heavy lifting here. A quick Google would tell them a gallop is 20+ miles an hour. If the guys running that fast then I agree, it's probably worth checking him for drugs. What we have here is...trotting www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

I'm trying to be good and make sure I go for a leg stretch after work. Keep passing a guy with a cute terrier who tucks what he's smoking into his palm on approach. Can smell the weed for ages afterwards - why risk burning your hand/setting fire to your coat?! I'm worried I look like the weed police

If a guy with the first name Mohammad had groomed a 22 year old to overthrow the US government he would have been drone striked by now & the 22 year old would be wearing orange pyjamas

Can we diversify the fashions of stacks of people/ideas pretending to be a whole person/concept that they're not? Must they all be in trenchcoats? I am several defunct coping mechanisms in a Reefer coat

"if you're not scared, you're not paying attention." WHY DO YOU THINK I'M TRYING SO HARD NOT TO PAY ATTENTION

Can't wait for someone to make a film about the captain Tom foundation. The whole story is just my favourite fking thing. It's like a funny/sad milkshake duck story but also about our particular national decline into madness. Sometimes I go back to the wiki page just to remind myself what happened

But they were, all of them, deceived, for there were worries if not

The clip from night time is sending me 😂

This is the one of these that applies most to me I think

Still dying of embarassment that when the delivery guy went 'you have strong man?' as he put 5 big boxes outside work yesterday; my sarcasm ignored the fact that he wasn't one of our regulars and English is far from his first language, and still did a Carry-On-esque 'how dare you'. Poor sod.

I've made the choice not to set a 6am alarm to go out in the dark/rain/wind before work tomorrow morning - so look forward to seeing the stories tomorrow that a storm has never fizzled out to nothing this fast in the entire record history of weather etc. You're welcome.

As the years go by, I've come to appreciate the stupid 'man eats sofa', 'woman marries bus stop' news stories more - we could use a couple of those this week to break up...everything else

It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

Absolutely phenomenal shipping forecast, 12/10

I wrote this on eternal life and ceaseless cringe. And how I've no interest in living forever if it's in a world ruled by the weird, brittle freaks we call tech CEOs. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

I remember a post on the old site that said Mr Collins is so perfect, and so eviscerated, that at least a bit of him must be based on somebody Austen knew and hated

One of my life goals is to one day do Internet banking without having to use my fingers to work out the 3rd, 7th and 11th characters in my password.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the best word processing software for writers is a Notepad .txt document with a handgun kept next to the keyboard in case it tries anything funny.

once again thinking about this passage from David Lynch's book Catching the Big Fish

and one of the greatest cover versions of any song, ever www.youtube.com/watch?v=S70x...

Oh god another one... I am using *desktop* stop assuming everyone is using a phone for everything i do not want to have to download your app just to do something I should be able to do on a website

I'm not sure that's *exactly* what he said. (from this report www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...)

Every country not doing this is an idiot. It will reduce a lot of energy without wasting land, and will hopefully lead to fewer new carparks, and the freeing up of existing at park land for more useful purposes like housing as owners can’t be bothered. Do it.
