There's not a pub or club (or any other venue) I visited in the last 3 decades where someone hasn't used "the opposite loo" at some point, just don't stare and they wont care. Using a toilet and washing your hands isn't illegal.

Forbidden knowledge now apparently...
web.archive.org/web/20241029... I also noticed if this was some country on the African continent that was terrorising their own citizens and denying children a full education the beeb would jump on it and be talking about it for decades. How "odd".

Ignoring the twit is clearly trying to stir the phobia pot for a moment; doesn't he realise if the "ladies loos" has to close for whatever reason it's never been illegal for women to use the "mens" because it's more of a liability to put the public in a position where they have to pee on the floor.

Write whatever you want on a plain t-shirt and lay on the floor in the space. It's totally cool, you're just napping.

Take stripey tape, tape 100cmx100cm around the sign, express yourself outside the tape. Loophole the bejeezus out of it.

At this point I just assume everyone who uses it is a mindless scumbag anyway.
Gods sake. It's "like" the rich don't want you to think for yourself and risk becoming a decent person.

Just checked and yep, it's Eaglemoss. I got a Enterprise D when they first released them back when, it's got Intiaparinu in teeny tiny print bellow the main shuttlebay.
I'm thinking of loaning it to the local Optometrists: if people can read the misprint they've got the right prescription 👓 .

Write a prequel?

Nah, I kinda think it has, if it hadn't "discover" wouldn't be a default feed, the default would be following and "set up" a page telling you how to find and set up your own feeds.

I don't think an algo has taken over bluesky... yet

If you say "primmer" I'm going to assume you mean "more prim". If you say "prime-er" I'm going to know it's the thing that comes before and makes easier the thing you do after.

As we see a senseless 100k price tag placed on H- 1B visas, potentially leading to significant loss to higher education and progress of science, let this be a reminder that nearly half of the Nobel Prize winners in science this year are immigrants.

Half Of The 2025 U.S. Nobel Prize Winners In Science Are Immigrants

Three of the six U.S. winners in the 2025 Nobel Prize science categories immigrated to the United States, one of them as a teenager.

I was talking about people generally in comparison and in the speculative sense, I didn't ascribe any specific motive to Blum as an individual, didn't even mention him.

Spooky @spookybugdog.bsky.social · 2d

That's the problem, these people still think it's the 70s. I can't even remember when I last saw a kid with a "catapult". Even in the 90s you were more likely to get hurt by another kid for refusing to trade your shiny Charizard card than by a kid with a sling.

Spooky @spookybugdog.bsky.social · 2d

Thank goodness they didn't actually go down that route.

It messes you up if you've seen a certain Star Wars movie not too long before watching that episode and you realise it could only have been worse if he then said "Kira I am your fa-" and
NOPE! Nope nope nope.

UK kids need "catapults" to protect themselves because pedos get to fly in and are given state visits instead of being locked up with the other nonces.

It's either A, didn't really read it just name dropping for cred, or B, too daft or too vile to understand the subtext that baddies are not aspirational figures.

Spooky @spookybugdog.bsky.social · 2d

I think they do already. What do you mean "will"?

Spooky @spookybugdog.bsky.social · 2d

It always feels like the DM is just a mis-click away from accidentally posting an article draft version saying "poor people like to be poor actually, I'd be poor if I could, but money you know it's such a burrden" before they can window dress it in "plausible" deniability.

Anyway, in case you missed it, some wondering from me about whether Kemi Badenoch has ever actually read Terry Pratchett

Has Kemi Badenoch actually read Terry Pratchett?

She claims he’s her favourite author, but his books have a few lessons for her

I think you can only do your best (and hope it is okay) because even if I explain things verbally to a sighted person they can still misunderstand what I am trying to explain.
So when I do alttext sometimes I struggle to put what I can see into words or it reads like neurospicy bonus features. 🤦🤷
