This was my last post on Instagram while this unacceptable policy is in place.
App deleted from phone.
Nothing bad happened when I dropped Facebook. Life improved dropping Twitter. Bluesky, you'd better behave.

I think it’s reached the point where if a studio hired Jared Leto for a movie they should be investigated for insurance fraud because it’s some The Producers bullshit for sure

Can't wait for taxpayer money to be used to bail out some wealthy tax dodgers

I like how they gave the Nobel Prize to someone fighting for democracy in Venezuela, instead of someone sinking fishing boats off their coast.

Current mood.

(And my Halloween cup is cooler than your Halloween cup!!)

7 reasons why The Thing (1982) is a Christmas film:

1) snow
2) bearded men concealing surprises
3) compulsory party games
4) introverts shunning group activities
5) digestive issues
6) revellers bursting open to reveal partially assimilated canine lifeforms
7) knitwear

Over 40% of corn grown in Indiana is used to make ethanol that cars burn. One acre of corn yields about 16,500 vehicle-miles per year of ethanol, which sounds high until you realize that one acre of solar yields about 2,700,000 vehicle-miles per year: 16,000% more driving for a given plot of land.

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

She won’t…but it would be worth Greta Thunberg winning the Nobel Peace Prize just to see the atomic meltdown so many bitter, mediocre, misogynistic middle-aged men would have.

Experiment successful.

The cast of TV sitcom Cheers, Cliff, Coach, Carla, Sam, Diane and Norm, but they're all been quickly faceswapped with Cher's face. The title above reads 'Chers'.

I think it's telling that by far the most positive reaction I've had at inductions this year has been telling new students our chat widget is staffed by real librarians, not AI.

Previously:

A black and white version of the "Screaming Woman and Cat" meme, but the screaming woman and her friend have been replaced by the aliens from 'They Live'. The cat is now Nada (Roddy Piper) who is wearing his sunglasses and looking like he's all out of bubblegum.

The 4 panel Drake meme. The top left panel shows the usual smiling Drake pointing at the object in the top right panel, which is an unopened xenomorph egg from 'Alien'. The bottom left panel shows the usual image of Drake turning away, except he's now wearing a facehugger. The bottom right panel shows a fully opened xenomorph egg.

The "Disaster Girl" meme, showing a girl turning to face us with a sly smile on her face, but the scene behind her is the prom-from-hell scene in "Carrie" (1976) with everything on fire and no hope of escape.

The "Defending Against A Knife Attack" WikiHow meme, but the gentleman with the knife in his hand now bears a passing resemblance to Peter Cushing's Van Helsing, and instead of a blade, he's wielding a wooden crucifix. The person trying to ward him off is clearly a vampire, but he doesn't look anything like Christopher Lee because I couldn't be arsed to draw him.

You know who doesn't integrate? People like Robert Jenrick. You think he works out at the local leisure centre? Goes to the Tuesday night pub quiz? You think his golf club lets anyone play? Or his private members' clubs let anyone in? He puts the ick in prick

Nice little Korean restaurant in York (off Walmgate) last night to celebrate (belated) 1 year wedding anniversary. Gorgeous food. Might try the on-table BBQ option next time.
