Only a couple of minutes out if you use UTC rather than BST!

Years ago I rented this out on video and asked my friend Clint if he wanted to watch it. "What's it about?" he asked.

This morning I saw a bunch of geese sneaking up on some jackdaws but they kept softly honking to themselves so it didn't work very well

not gonna lie, reading this made me laugh and also have maybe a little brain seizure *laughs*

a review of the Reeves/Winters production of Waiting for Godot:

Happy 60th, the Post Office Tower. Sorry we ignored you once you were lost in the sex-toy skyline. Sorry for the inevitable mutilations you must endure in the name of 'adding value'.

It seems to be a stock photo and not connected with the story, but it so happens the Harp would be just right for you! Doesn't close unexpectedly, and always has a load of very well kept guest ales. Small and usually very crowded though, being close to Charing Cross.

Took me years to realise that those dreams were my brain's way of saying "You should wake up and go for a piss."

the Lord is my shepherd, He shaves my entire body to make sweaters

just met a woman at a party & asked her what she did for work. could barely understand her because she was so soft spoken & had an accent so i just nodded a bunch.

“she’s in culture,” her friend said.

i finally realised that i was talking to
ANNA DELVEY

I ASKED ANNA DELVEY WHAT SHE DID FOR WORK

All these billionaires will have their consciousnesses uploaded before death. Then the upload company will go bust and be broken up for parts. They'll end up being sold like fairground rides: "🤡 Inhabit Elon Musk's consciousness for five minutes, only $20! You'll laugh at how dumb it is in there! 🤡"

The original manuscript of my Dad's first novel was twice as long as the published book. His editor at Hodder & Stoughton bluntly told him that new authors don't get to write to that length, then expertly guided him through the process of editing it down to a tautly paced thriller.

One time I had to do my weekly video therapy call from the vestry of st nicks, except it was that time of month where the electricity wasn’t working so I had a bunch of candles lit, and then my therapist paused mid sentence and said “oh someone just came in” and then that someone walked thru a wall

The reason the Right are so invested in the myth that the arts have no value isn’t because the arts don’t generate wealth (they do); it’s that studying the arts teaches people to imagine better ways of judging the value of an idea than by counting how much money it makes…

I think it was earlier this year that I went through the iMac closing windows and tabs I didn't "need". But I use it to look stuff up while I'm working on the adjacent work laptop connected to the widescreen monitor, and that stuff then gets forgotten and left open. Must sort it out tomorrow.

"This website is free" No. This website comes at a terrible cost

Just checked, and I have 38 tabs in the window containing this Bluesky tab. I have 29 browser windows open, of which about half will have between 10 and 40 tabs. But this is my laptop. My iMac has about 140 browser windows open, and probably more than half of them will have at least 10 tabs.

This is me on the extremely rare occasions that I fly 🙂

(I love flying, I just never go anywhere that requires flying to get there. I haven't been on a flight in this millennium.)

Seeing the word "hypermnesia" in the title, I realised for the first time that in "amnesia" it's the "a" that denotes lack, not the "am". It's a bit like finding out about the "pter" in helicopter!

One of the conspirators who helped Gavrilo Princip shoot Archduke Franz Ferdinand survived to see the breakup of Yugoslavia. He could conceivably have watched the Neighbours episode where Scott and Charlene got married

Other people have been posting that Bluesky search is broken at the moment.

When you could code silly quizzes on Facebook, it was FULL of "what would you be in medieval times?!" etc.

I made one that nearly always answered "died as a child", "died in childbirth", "lived and died as a servant"

People got SUPER mad with it.

Everyone assumes they'll be at the top of the tree

My father was the press officer/PR for the local council and was supposed to take shelter in the bunker under County Hall in the event of nuclear war so he could manage comms to whoever might be left afterwards. He lost his place when he retired a few years later; I don't think it bothered him much!

This lurid headline is about British tourists no longer getting away with overstaying in Schengen. Or being 'illegals', as it's often called in the UK.
