Filled with such unexpected hope, what a result

a bell curve with ‘amount of social media posts’ on the y-axis, ‘happiness’ on the x-axis

This is how I found out

Occasionally letting google.com remember my decision for a day, as a little treat

Growth is that a guy I used to work with (manager) is posting paint-by-numbers to Instagram, pretending they’re original, and I’m fine with it.

I would rather that you wrote badly than use AI to ‘fix’ it.

Yeah being out and social on an evening is nice and all but on the bus home all I’m thinking about is how excited my dog is going to be to see me.

Two Panel Comic Panel 1: Person is pointing to a beautiful sunlit landscape with rivers and forests and saying “Yo Elon, check out this beautiful life of infinite possibilities your immense wealth gives you access to” Panel 2: Elon Musk is on all fours in a darkened room, naked and covered in a dubious brown substance. He is surrounded by trash and smashing his phone with a hammer. He screams “The people on this fucking website won’t call me the meme maestro”

Here’s A Comic About Elon Musk & His Infinite Possibilities

Give me a low traffic neighbourhood and I promise to be a good boy this year

Israel accepts health authorities’ Gaza death toll is broadly accurate, saying 70,000 have died Israeli military’s abrupt U-turn in accepting official figures comes after years of attacking data as ‘Hamas propaganda’

After years of our press hand-wringing about the figures as from the "Hamas run health ministry". Utterly shameful. But will we learn anything, hold anyone accountable for our enabling of genocide? Of course not.

“A moment ago I liked you and loved you; now I just love you.”

Your dumbest relative runs the world

A copper bangle, made by me! Circular, with flattened ends, and a twist in the middle (made by hammering the copper into a square shape in the middle of the wire).

Silver making course has me learning techniques in copper! Definitely enjoying anything involving hammers with this.

Such refreshing messaging I really hope gets people at least talking.

If I was positioning myself as a world leader I would probably spend about half a day just learning the names of the different countries just to be sure

I promise you that us Europeans are all incorrectly assuming that you get the train
