Badenoch and Co see education only as a means to a massive income in some soul destroying career.

Devoid of imagination and the power of knowledge they view life entirely through the prism of the CV.

My advice always is to study what interests you and the rest will follow

Gah, I heard the glockenspiel intro to "All I Want for Christmas is You" while buying a coffee and it's in my head now. It's too late for me. You go on without me.

In the bathroom the cat managed to flip her giant spider in the air the other day and promptly lost it. I found its hapless corpse floating in the toilet bowl.

Amazing that I spent half an hour trying to remember the names of well-known Hobbit actors today but after 35 years I can still tell you the theme was by Al Jarreau.

"IT'S BIGGER ON THE INSIDE!" The retailer cover of the new DWM. A white background with pics within coloured rectangles: a large gold Dalek, the Tenth Doctor, and Meglos being the Fourth Doctor. Plus! Dugadoo.

Vintage lucite lint brush from my collection, ca. 1970s.

Photo of a white woman’s hand holding up what looks like a small statue of a white cat curled up in a light blue basket bed.

Photo of a white woman’s hand holding up the same statue as the previous photo but this was the bottom side of it showing a lot of basket details.

Photo of a white woman’s hand holding the lint brush side of the white cat statue towards the camera. It is stiff light blue velvet with lines on it like corduroy.

This is going around again and it is not true. Like every site on the internet, Bluesky uses machine learning to do a first-pass approximation of image classification to detect and label content. They have repeatedly confirmed outside services do not use Bluesky user data to train their models.

I had literally been trying to remember the surname of the actor who plays Denethor in LOTR since I started this thread. Also played Walter Bishop in Fringe. First name John.

Nothing.

It finally just landed in my head. John Noble! OH MY GOD the relief.

if your neighbor doesn't have due process, you don't either, because if the cops confuse you with your neighbor, you have no way to prove you're not them.

I also managed to remember that Miranda Otto played Eowyn after only 10 minutes of agonised mental circling.
