A thread of Tumblr posts, which goes as follows: yugiohz: Kafka was so right fuck this stupid baka life marlbororeds100s-deactivated202: He didn't say that franzkavkas: [Photo of some excerpts from Kafka's diaries. January 20 is "The end of writing. When will it tak[...] up again?". January 29 is "fuck my stupid baka life"] yes he did

A clear crystal thing with a faceted knob that is probably a door handle or something in a museum display. There is another black quartzy rock of some kind about which I have nothing facetious to say.

Who knew you can dig exquisite crystal butt plugs right out of the earth

Waiting in the queue for the Natural History Museum and some guy started yelling at us through the fence, saying we didn't evolve from apes and we'd go to hell if we thought otherwise.

There's a tiny horse on channel five

I regret to inform you that the cover of the 7" single was even worse than this video. #TOTP

Eughhhjjjj #totp

I though Lorraine Chase did this? #totp

See my dad would have got me to adjust the colour when this came on #totp

Is this a cult #totp

@richmurkin.bsky.social klopp!

Unironically, I wish more production companies would take the varied, free-flowing and unformulaic approach to documentary making that Peartree Factual do in the new Alan Partridge series.

You can also get Stranger Things tie-in Quavers at the moment, though as far as I can tell they are just normal Quavers. They don't even make your eyes bleed. (Well, they probably would if you scrunch them into your face with the heels of your hands, but then any crisps will do that.)

The main problem is they're a bit soft whereas you expect a firm bite from a traditional Babybel. Might work better spread into a cracker. Not sure what wine to pair it with, though.

Stranger Things branded "Hellfire" mini Babybel. The wrapper features the maw of one of those Venus flytraps monsters in which is a D20 labelled S T

Well these are kind of gross. But vegan!

This in the bottom of Colliers Wood's infamous Tower, which was a comically menacing jet black monolith with broken windows, then became flats where after a couple of years some of the windows just spontaneously exploded. In theory it could be nice square at the base, in practice the […]

These window decals have been there a while. What used to be in this unit was... a different set of cafe/London related decals using different bad clip art. I can only hope that this unit is now just a rotating gallery of shitty clip art, and no actual business ever opens there.

At least it's good honest shonky photoshop rather than shonky AI, I guess.

A retail unit under refurbishment with an enormous decal over the whole window and door, featuring two cups of brown liquid being clinked together. The cups are tilted towards each other, but the surface of the liquid is also tilted, revealing that these are photos of level cups that have been rotated. The edges of the cups are not smoothly isolated, very apparent at this large scale. The light details on the cups reveal that one is simply a flipped copy of the other. There is an asbtracted line drawing of each cup superimposed on each cup. The background is a deep orange with a sketchy clip art illustration of the London skyline. Little pen 'clink' lines appear above where the cups almost meet.

Not as unsettling as the upside-down peas. But I don't like it.

Homework sheet titled "Is the UK really rich?" "STARTER: Decide whether you think the statement is about the UK or a different country. More than 1 in 5 people live in poverty. UK/NOT THE UK Poverty levels are increasing. UK/NOT THE UK 3.4 million households (58%) report not having enough money for food. UK/NOT THE UK 1 in 6 adults have very poor literacy skills. UK/NOT THE UK The malel ife expectancy in some parts of the country is 66. UK/NOT THE UK The male life expectancy in some parts of the country is 94. UK/NOT THE UK Air pollution causes 43,000 deaths a year. UK/NOT THE UK 6th richest country in the world. UK/NOT THE UK" All answers have "UK" circled in pen and there is a big red tick. A handwritten response reads: "Stretch: I think they are all the UK because people's living standards are very diverse."

More dangerous radicalisation, I will be calling Prevent.

A photocopied worksheet showing a map of the world. A printed question asks "where is the western part of the map? What countries do you think are included in 'the West's?" In biro, Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand have been highlighted, and the words "SOCIAL CONSTRUCT - THE WEST IS NOT GEOGRAPHICAL" added. A stretch exercise asks for a definition of Eurocentric.

Heheh despite everything I love how the school curriculum is pretty woke, how did this stuff survive the Tories?

Now I’m needlessly cross all over again at the fact that the four candles sketch was voted best of all time by Radio Times readers or whatever when it’s just a bunch of homophones, it’s not that good of a sketch. The Mastermind one is way better. Also, one time my uncle, a BT engineer, was doing […]

I'm reading the last of Robin Hobb's Fitz and the Fool books and it's excellent and actually emotional - we've been with these characters for thousands of pages by this point - BUT it has suddenly become apparent that a really key piece of symbolism is going to revolve around... four candles.

Bridget Phillipson 'delaying trans guidance to help deputy leader bid' The equalities minister is accused of pushing back publication of a code on single-sex spaces until after the Labour election ends. Those close to Bridget Phillipson, who is also education secretary, said her opponents were "weaponising gender issues" in a "cynical and divisive" way

Tell us it’s a really bad divisive, cruel unworkable policy without revealing it. Nothing says there’s a problem like being afraid to reveal Labour and the EHRC’s divisive, cruel unworkable wet dream trans apartheid policy because it is perceived to harm the […]

My wife has put the hoover in the living room I think in the hope that someone will hoover, but three days later, nobody has hoovered, proving Chekov wrong

Was served a YouTube ad for some kind of small plug-in room heater – i.e. the heater is kind of built right onto the plug, like a wifi booster – that will apparently be in every home in the UK by next year and thought, hm, that seems unlikely, and a ten second research revealed that yes, they’re […]

You know who would absolutely love to be buried in a pyramid with loads of gold and stuff? Go on, Egypt, while you've got him there, no need to wait till he's dead

It is easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of Hollyoaks

An acidy Vital patch doing most of thr work here #looptober

A chicken shop called What A Chicken. It is in the ground floor of a Victorian terrace.

Best chicken shop name I've seen for a while.

You are driving a bus. The road leads north. To the east is a Tesco Metro. To the right is a branch of Oliver Bonas.

What do you want to do next?
