I might wait until the last day of the sale and see if anything else has jumped out at me more.

I know that my opinion means almost nothing as a non-PoC, but I don't really understand the logic of 'We shouldn't use the word 'Spooky', which has meant 'creepy' for hundreds of years, because a few decades back the racists stole it fair and square'.

I am trying not to use it, however.

Jump cut to Keir Starmer spending the entirety of November in a giant foam poppy costume, smashing over press conference podiums like Mister Blobby, and getting called a communist for wearing red.

Anyone who absolutely adored Dying Light have an opinion on Dying Light 2? Feels like a bit of a deal on Steam at the moment for Β£16 but I've heard it's a bit of a let down for fans of the original.

Whenever I see someone try to rehab Sadako's reputation, I think to myself, I'll be surprised if she comes out of this well

If these figures are correct then this is the size of the Epstein Ballroom:

One of my least rational beliefs is that if you pull off a heist without hurting anyone or getting caught within a day, that's your stuff fair and square.

'Crew Expendable' is actually a pretty sick name for a band.

Can you imagine how gutted you'd be if you suddenly realised that you had accidentally got not just one, but TWO Nazi tattoos?

Poor guy must be livid.

Some are querying whether Andrew can renounce a dukedom without an Act of Parliament.

But you can parse a duchy and he’s left outside.

Good night.

"We have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of Lostprophets. As a result of this I have decided to have my head bounced forty-three times off a bathroom floor."

If only Charles had the same initiative as those two cons.

You're looking at a damask pink... maybe soft red cover with the words Tiny Moments of Joy written in a serif font in white and orange. Above that are the words: Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand in a white sans serif font and the name George Penney is below in the same font. The cover has a border of pale ferns that are mostly white or a paler colour than the cover. You know looking at this cover that you will need a comfy chair, maybe a snoozing lap cat or dog and a sunny or warm spot to read this book. It's that kind of vibe.

Also, I'm so chuffed to be able to share the cover for Tiny Moments of Joy: Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand, which will be coming out in paperback and ebook on the 11th of November this year.

All further details to come soon!

Huge thanks for your lovely encouragement this past year!❀️

I refuse to believe that the third one isn't a 7yo boy standing on his brothers shoulders in his dad's suit to buy a vape.

Picture of a butterfly in an antique frame with visibly deteriorated wings, with a request for anyone who can advise as to repairing or replacing it.

Paging @geepranks.bsky.social in particular but anyone else with bug/antique experience, any advice?

I know. My mom fucking LOVED Lostprophets.

(In seriousness though, I know exactly what you mean.)

Fascinating. Thanks for checking that for me! Can't see much online about this. For the record although that flair says Blacksky user, I am using their other PDS which is for non-PoC.

Since I moved my account from Bsky to myatproto I've not got a avatar pic in my browser (mobile app is fine). Anyone else had this if they've moved to another PDS?

Do we know where H from Steps was earlier today? I suspect the rozzers might need to have a word with him. At least his socials will get quieter now.

Are you a non-Black person pissed at Bluesky leadership and feeling a little jealous of all the good vibes coming from Blacksky?

There are Blacksky adjacent options for you! Here’s info from the Blacksky migration guide!

Great news for the little man, as Badenoch announces that the Tories will save you a couple of grand when you buy your house (as long as you're spending at least Β£300k).
