Are these AI photos? Ivm asking because I am wondering if I'm missing something (like, probably the joke :). All of these images are... weird!

I worked for a charity which was Christian in nature once and it was freaky being around Christians who... were 'Christian'. I still was very confused by their motivation, but there are some decent ones, which is obviously going to be useful right now.

Well, you have to hope. Let the real Christians use Christianity against these bastards and truly hope that some of the idiots wake up enough (to maybe resign, at least?).
I mean you cannot argue with this effectively, if you think you actually believe in the Bible.

It's so horrendous looking from afar (the UK). And the most awful thing being how clear it is what is going on, and yet it's just continuing. It makes it so clear it could happen anywhere (and there are people wanting it to happen here, also).
I wish you (and so many people) courage xxx

Gods, yes. And those eyes, the twinkle of sprightly intelligence was always there.

She seemed so thoroughly lovely, as well as being brilliant.

I tell you what, add barberries to Christmas cake when making it. Or any fruit cake, come to that. So good!

Ah yes, of course! Sumac is a fabulous ingredient. My apologies for making that guess wrong.

It's all delicious.

Wraps which will later be subject to many decades of research and conspiracy theory regarding their origin

It's a non-spicey, herby loveliness to put on eg: breakfast flatbread with olive oil. Lots of thyme in it. I should eat more of it (and this is a good excuse!).

The person talking about sharp red berries may be talking about barberries, which are equally absolutely fantastic.

Both very 'Levant'

There's something complicated about AI bro's fucking us up and being uniformly mysogynistic but said in a much funnier way by someone other than me

Jesus, this is a fucking holiday for anyone who wants to kidnap/disappear someone. I realise that's not the main issue, obviously

Cor, that's one to remember - decent sized food, also

It's easy enough to cope, just have a parent get unbelievably sick within about 3 days of your kids both buggering off.

Aaaargh.

If the conversation is about San Francisco, at least be honest and say "I'm not talking about San Francisco here, but..." or "I do not live there, but...". Or, you risk being criticised, as I have done.

and every interview I ever read of her, or saw her doing, she was... perfectly lovely. I feel very sad.
She was also so beautiful but in a way that showed her inner curiosity and warmth.

Somehow you don't recognise how much certain people meant to you until they're not here anymore.

Again, probably not the jolly list that was intended.

5 formative things:
1) Younger brother becoming epileptic at the age of 6
2) ...then being on drugs that made him violently angry
3) Me acquiring a lymphangioma at age 10 that fucked my life for 6 years
4) My Dad taking 7 yrs to leave
5) Being on a TV quiz age 12

What gave events defined your childhood?

All in the same year (1992):

- My dad leaving.
- The death of my grandparents.
- Bailiffs coming to repossess my home.
- My mother’s breakdown.
- Seeing Ghostwatch on transmission.

Probably should have kept this lighter.

This place is becoming more visitable by the moment, as I read this thread. That sounds bananas!

Captain Hurley 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 @zoonie.bsky.social · 2h

Thank you! I'll pick myself up from swooning in a moment :)

Captain Hurley 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 @zoonie.bsky.social · 2h

Oh for goodness sake, that building is like a dream! I am definitely visiting, er, at some point.

No waste? Have you ever heard of tea towels? Would you like to guess what you can do with TEA towels (as well as wash them).
