#til In a terminal using bash, you can press alt+ to make the next keypress / action happen that number of times.

Classic English experience: barman offers me a taster, it's good, i tell him so and that i'll have a half, he smiles and agrees and 20 seconds later hands me a pint.

Every. Bloody. Time :blobcat:

UK: The Liz Truss lettuce government lasted 49 days, our reputation as a stable

Conductor on English train encouraging people to report anything that looks suspicious.

Surely this must applies to white collar crime too. Be on the lookout for suspicious Excel spreadsheets with "creative accounting".

How many people think to themselves, "I'd vote Labour, if only they could be more like Trump." I would guess it's a number close to zero.
But Labour seems to be chasing a figment of its imagination, and this is perhaps the most grotesque example so far.

Labour Party Conference: Housing chief Steve Reed tips his hat to Trump

With his MAGA-style slogan and red baseball cap, the new housing secretary has brought energy to the Labour Party Conference. But is it the right energy? asks Will Hurst

Extremely cool graffiti seen today in #shoreditch in #london.

The neon effect was even more striking in person. Very impressive and cool artwork and skill.

A graffiti of secondary Simpsons characters (Krusty the Clown, More, Barney) done in the style of fun fair neon lighting tubes, with orange and green palm trees, striking yellow lines for the characters and a giant blue and red glass around them (for some reason).

My phone just auto corrected "WhatsApp group" to "WhatsApp grotto" and I think that's far superior. We should all switch to that.

"Oh yeah, Charlie's mum was complaining in the grotto."

@anna What beautiful way to remember someone. I will listen to it tonight and think of Mattia, even if I never got to meet her.

@anna Never met someone who didn't like Streetlight Manifesto. At worst, they just don't know them (yet!).

Charlie Kirk's killer? Terminally online and gun culture.
The far right Evergreen shooter? Terminally online and gun culture.
The Annunciation killer? Terminally online and gun culture.
Yesterday's killers? Online and gun culture.

Right wing villainization of the left in wake of Charlie Kirk's killing needs a response, as do innumerate claims that left wingers are biggest terrorist threat.

But falling into a "Both Sides Mass Killers" game w/right wingers lets them avoid the guns and malaise problem common to most killings.

Guns at Annunciation

I was baptized at the church where kids were murdered. It's a canary in the coal mine for a dystopian America, where people blame everything but the real cause: a country awash with unlimited guns.

I mean look at this, Service Fee? Venue Facility Fee? Handling Fee? Yes please!

Where can i get more of these wonderful fees you so generously provide?

Screenshot of the price breakdown for 2 tickets for a concert in London, where each ticket is 49.50GBP but end up costing nearly 10 more (20%) because of the various arbitrary fees added by TicketMaster.

So great that Wimbledon has joined the places where from the Pret you can see another branch of Pret.

View from inside a Pret cafe with sandwich shelves etc. Through the window is a bust street, on the other side of which is a second branch of Pret.

C'est pas clair du tout d'à qui c'est envoyé.

Si c'est envoyé au spammeur, est-ce même légal ?

This Trump–Epstein statue popped up in DC today. 🤯😅

Satirical bronze-colored statues of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., posed holding hands with one leg raised each, in front of the U.S. Capitol building. Several people stop to look and take photos of the installation.

Future generations (provided they are able to Scott l exist) will never understand how anyone could take Trump seriously.

Unwell, delusional, idiotic and crass. He should be mocked relentlessly.

"Perfect for any occasion"

Baby's first porridge, Johnny's bar mitzvah, a sensual candle lit night in, a fascist social devolution, this sauce can do it all.

Above, a little panel reads: perfect for any occasion.

Lower, a drawing of a graded chili pepper shows it going over the maximum grade, with a little explosion cloud over the chili pepper.
