British person who fixes old computers, plays old games, and makes things. Writes software and does DevOps-y stuff for money.
Sure, it’s the exact same photo. But that’s because Alex didn’t react in the slightest.

He is adorable though. Sometimes I can’t believe he’s real.

The Constitution doesn’t seem to be worth the parchment it’s written on. Ellipsis.

Me, at the pub after being left alone at the table:

“Fine. I’ll sit here and look attractive”

NARRATOR: He did not look attractive.

THREAD. When my parents' cat Bridget went missing, my dad, to try to ease his worry, painted her on a variety of historical adventures. These soon multiplied. Significantly.

After much nagging, he has had some postcards printed of this brilliant series:

Oh. This sounds awfully familiar.
Me: I just don't understand why I can't just out-think my anxiety and emotions and simply react and respond in the most ideal way every single time and never feel bad

Something in my house just made a pleasantly soft double-beep sound. A bit like two Acorn Archimedes starting up a quarter of a second after each other.

Problem is, I have *no idea* what it could be.

Trottiscliffe.

The actual pronunciation of that only involves one of the syllables in the spelling.
What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

In a parallel universe, IBM never sold their consumer PC line, Lenovo never existed, and some besuited IBM social media person responded to this in uncomfortable corporate-speak.

There’s a massive billboard ad on my train station platform for visiting the Adirondacks.

Looks beautiful, but a) no, for obvious reasons, and b) Gravesend is a really weird place to be advertising that. Strange times.

Trump at the UN:

"I look at London where you have a terrible mayor... Now they want to go to Sharia law."

This is entirely false. London Mayor Sadiq Khan is politically moderate and has never ever called for Sharia law.

This is Islamophobic propaganda and a bigoted attack on Khan.
