The role already pays +180,000... and interestingly, it looks like most UK council chief execs make similar salary. Makes you wonder about council spending...

Global flags are put up in York – then England flag man takes them down

I’ve never seen a case of gotcha journalism where it’s the subject of the interview laying out the traps and walking onto them while the journalist literally just transcribes before, but… yorkmix.com/global-flags...

Disney are cowards if they don’t duplicate every beat of this scene shot for shot, word for word, right down to the BKOW

Incredible b&w illustration of a xenomorph from Alien. Crouching next to some kind of pole and holding onto it with right hand while looking off to the right of paper with its left arm down between its legs. You can see the tail behind it.

Illustration for The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly by John Paul Leon. Clint up top is good of course. Then below art of Eastwood are rectangular panels across the whole page. First shows a closeup of "Bad" face and then below a look at "Ugly."

I think I only discovered this about 10-15 years ago. As a kid I was fascinated by the details on the lightsabre, the buttons and switches all looked so real. Turns out they were!

β€’ Al Overview
The idiom "you can't lick a badger twice" means you can't trick or deceive someone a second time after they've been tricked once. It's a warning that if someone has already been deceived, they are unlikely to fall for the same trick again.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
β€’ Licking: "Licking" in this context means to trick or deceive someone.
β€’ Badger: The badger is a wild animal, and the phrase likely originates from the historical sport of badger baiting where dogs were used to harass

Someone on Threads noticed you can type any random sentence into Google, then add β€œmeaning” afterwards, and you’ll get an AI explanation of a famous idiom or phrase you just made up. Here is mine
