Incredible thread.
OK - pie discourse - best pie story:
In 2016, we were living in Andover, in the UK. My wife was assigned as an exchange officer at the Army Air Corps base at Middle Wallop (yes, really).*
The US Army has a tradition: senior leaders, in dress uniform, serve junior troops Thanksgiving dinner.

Reasonable escalation of force: if your sibling is breathing on you, punching them is an improper escalation of force, the proper response is farting on them instead

I’ve been probing the depths of the internet, trying to find a dress / skirt I could wear to Dad’s funeral. So far, I’ve gone from £150 Karen Millen stuff, to £30 Wallis, decided I hate them all, and now have 9 tabs of Punk Rave, KILLSTAR, and Dark In Love open.
Then I started thinking about shoes.

I think what would make me happy (other than UBI) would be to work in a museum.
Alas, I have no experience, knowledge, or training. I *do* have a love for the absurd, which seems the most important thing, going by @themerl.bsky.social, @bucksarchives.bsky.social, @romanpalace.bsky.social, & others.

I tried giving the cats a taste of Domino’s chicken once (after removing all the coating etc). All 3 sniffed it and walked off in a huff.

This was the piece that finally got me to sign up to the Patreon. The cutlery I inherited from my parents is Correct and nothing else is quite right.
The stainless steel interlopers, which are new and were absolutely unasked for, were introduced to 27-year-old Ryan Wilkins’ household last Friday, and immediately began to upend the status quo.

Found out an old neighbour had died, her funeral was on November 5th and she was being cremated. I soon discovered who my people were when they also giggled at that too.

The little tax accountant still living in my head is repeating Westminster (“Every man is entitled if he can to order his affairs so that the tax attaching under the appropriate Acts is less than it otherwise would be”) and is being glared at by the socialist student in the neighbouring flat. 1/2
I’m obviously all for paying fair taxes but I’m also in favour of not being an asshole

Also it's called "coin coin coin", because that's "quack quack quack" in French and I'm a hoot.
