Instagram is desperate to sell me a bewildering variety of tools, techniques, and vectors of shame for smoother, neater feet. Ok, cute, but why? I walk comfortably north of 10km a day. I never wear shoes indoors. My calloused hooves are practically bulletproof. Why would I file that off?

How about instead of every country having their own nuclear weapon - which seems to be causing all sorts of trouble - we all take turns looking after a single bomb, like the school hamster?

In hindsight I could probably have predicted that Glasgow would not only serve eggs Benedict with black pudding, but with slices thicker than the muffin.

Forgot to mention the Extremely Good Dog I met at Edinburgh pride!

Literally begging you to post about Just Some Stuff. We will see the news I absolutely promise. Twenty people will repost the same exact thing about the news. Only you can post about a turtle you saw

Star Wars. But it’s in Glasgow. ‘I’ve bin waitin’ fur ye, Obi-Wanker. When I scooched aff I didnae know fuck all. Now I’m fuckin’ solid.’ ‘Da fuck you jus call me? I’m gonna fuckin’ chib ya wit ma light sword. Force this, ya cheeky cunt.’ It’s too hot today

“What’s the alternative to [thing] that isn’t cartoonishly evil?” is such an exhaustingly simple summary of where we are now. A cabal of the worst assholes got rich off PayPal and now every consumer interaction costs £15/month, barely works, and adds a kilo when Anubis weighs your heart.

But what does it all mean for Reform?

You can kick ass or you can take names but you can't do both because this is just a first generation sidescrolling substitute teacher game

World War 3 kinda sucks, but you know, it was either this or pronouns

"I asked chatgpt--" Shut up. I asked Anubis and he has measured your soul against the the feather of ma'at and found your soul lacking, sentencing you to be devoured by ammit

In 2 weeks the most annoying type of people will be huffing and saying "oh well that was summer then was it 🤪"

So, what next? Stabilise, then close more. Maybe open stalls inside McDonald’s? Basically, become Debenhams – a mere brand face for a website. The high street has been in trouble for 20 years but it’s dire these past few. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

If You Can't Take The Heat, Stop Fucking Wanking In The Kitchen You Pan Nonce It's 4:00PM

Remembering this great tweet on the Summer Solstice

“WE DIDN’T PERM HIM”

It's great seeing everyone's tips for keeping cool. Here's mine. i) Take a trip to the mountains. ii) Spend some time in a cooling cave. iii) Find an underground lake. iv) Get undressed. v) Hunt the silvery fish and eat them raw. vi) Forget the torments of the evil face in the sky.

We really need some laws to make sure that if you’re wearing glasses that record video everyone knows it. Legally mandate that if you’re wearing smart glasses you also have to wear a cap with a propeller on it

On the one hand, I don’t want to throw stones from my glass house - I would probably have fucked this and clicked somewhere in the far east of Türkiye. On the other: gosh.

I like the summer weather but I’m not particularly aggrieved to be swapping Cambridge’s 31° high for Glasgow’s 26° today, I must say.

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

“So what are you going to do?” “Ask my boss for a raise.” “Because what are you?” “I’m a pelican.” “And not a...” “Pelican’t.” “That’s right.” “Thanks Marty, I really needed that.” “No problem, buddy.”

Made a quiche last night with some leftover pastry I did not remember was puff, and honestly: worth it. The extra crisp and slight lamination make a really nice texture contrast and it feels less heavy.

Concurrently terrifying and erotic Goodnight

What gets lost in the “students must be exposed to viewpoints (you know the ones)” debate is that they exist in an environment where the viewpoints are only a click or a twitch of the algo away, I guarantee that my teenage kids are vastly more aware of ‘controversial’ talking points than I was at 18

My favourite one of these was our (actually quite good) chatbot at ToxicJob that, once we’d put loads of access control in to make sure it couldn’t give you any data you didn’t have permission for anyway, just started making up contact email addresses 🤷‍♂️ www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I direct everyone to Steve Morris' seminal piece upon this question.

Well. It’s been a good run - almost four months - but today I caved and let someone assign me a support ticket.

Beautiful.
