What strange times, when the commander of RAF Greenham Common is coming out as a liberal supporter of the right to protest

It occurred to me that in (English speaking societies anyway) there are no new family names. Lots of names are place, profession, colour, or someone’s son. When the census was taken how the name was written down becamethe name. If the name was misspelled then tough luck that’s the name now.

Shame I need to run across the track and add the missing apostrophe.

Any ‘vintage’ ‘tech’ collectors out there? (pls RB for wider reach. x)

I’m petrified about today’s science news. Genetically modifying crabs to have cheetah genes? This could go sideways fast.

This is the last thing the BBC needs

Shrodingers skip

Watching #Silo season 2 and it just struck me how have people got different accents? They’ve all been locked in there for 352 years (or whatever) so surely there’d be a silo accent now with maybe some slang phrases/different vocabulary used by the different levels?

The solution to poor driving is rocks

Parking on the pavement? Put some big ol' rocks in the way

Are cars going too fast? Cover the road in little bumpy rocks

Street too wide? Big pile of rocks for cars to go around

Need a bike lane? Line of chunky rocks to keep cars away

Rocks 👍 🪨🌳🚶🚴‍♂️

This magnificent idea for a gritter name that @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social just shared with me might be my new favourite...

See it. Say it. Salted
