I only added Nerys for rule of three purposes. She's probably a juggler. I get a lot of circussy people. There was lots of other Welsh sounding names, but Nerys was the most Welsh. I often get vaguely famousos too, and I probably had Elis before. It just seemed funny this time.

@itsdanthomas.bsky.social I started watching Electric State thinking it can't be nearly as bad as you claimed on @smershpod.com. I can report that i got worryingly far into it - 48 minutes, before realising I have no idea who anyone is, or why I should care, and gave up.

@specileptic.bsky.social This week, I wrote a word of welsh in a reply to you and since then Facebook has friend-suggested Elis James, Dan Thomas and someone named Nerys. Coincidence?

Also, I can't speak to Walter Reed, but the usual bank of questions includes "can you tell me who is currently president?" At which point he presumably laughed for 20 minutes and waffled on about all the people who aren't president, for another hour.

They're cognitive tests. So, he's glossed over the "follow my finger with your eyes" test, and how he did in the "how many fingers am I holding up?"

I'm forever making back references to previous conversations and getting blank stares. Even when it's their own jokes... sometimes, I wonder if I am the only person in the world paying attention.

I've watched a documentary and listened to a podcast about her, and I still don't really understand who/why she is...

My dad used to own a woodland, and he never once gathered any firewood. He mostly drank heavily and ate fatty foods. Does that article mention those?

My disciplinary meeting was surprisingly relaxed. The lady was wearing a hoodie, which made me feel more at ease. She smiled lots and laughed after my jokes, so hopefully it went well.

frenzal rhomb - you are not my friend
YouTube video by 4dapigz frenzal rhomb - you are not my friend

I have had this on a loop in my head for hours. The trouble is I only just remembered the correct words, so my brain has been concocting its own lyrics until now. And my brain is weeeeird. Hopefully, now I've listened to the actual song I will be free

Your grandfathers fought in two world wars for your right to wear an inflatable penguin/chicken/frog/unicorn/dino suit.

Donโ€™t let some dweebs who grew up on Call of Duty and Fox Late night intimidate you.

@jonnymorris.bsky.social This week, I am drawing a box. I suck at perspective, straight lines, and text. But other than that it's going ok.

When Chris Moyles was still at Radio 1, he and his team went to Berlin for some reason. And their producer Aled was delighted that there were British shops like Aldi and Lidl there.

I think it's the 1980 TARDIS. But I dont really know that much about them, so I can't be certain.

Remember the early days of Twitter when it was still pages? And you could say, I'll just read to the top of this page then go to bed... Halcyon days.

In the directors commentary for A Town Called Eureka, someone pointed out that the actor who plays the sheriff's daughter is really bad at hugging. She starts to panic after a while and pats her huggee on the back, like she's trying to tap out of wrestling. Once I heard that, I spot it all the time.

I suck at perspective. So it might not be the best plan.
