Tinned pineapple chunks, obviously…

It’s never going to happen. You couldn’t even build the factories to assemble iPhones in the USA before Trump is out of office. Assuming he ever leaves office, of course.
And unless Apple is prepared to take a massive cut in profits, the price of an iPhone is going to rise. Dramatically.

100% this ⬇️

A grim, but important watch.

So why stop there? Just get rid of all the “real” MPs and replace them with a bank of AI MPs, and someone to sign off whatever they decide to do to help the constituent.
What could possibly go wrong?

The one between his ears?!

What, with actual sentences?

Let’s be honest, almost everyone is getting more than those middle aged failures.

I’m sorry, but I’d have nailed their sorry a**e to the table and called for service. I mean, how can you overlook Jay Rayner for Gods sake?

Just ridiculous.

Tens of thousands of cornflowers in a field in Wicken. Research shows that the sight of them will help you recover from sources of stress more quickly & boost dopamine release in your brain, lifting your mood…in case you need it just now:

I think escaping from Twitter showed just what insane levels of unpleasantness I was putting up with there. Never again.

Screws a thousand voters at a time?

It's a very small step from petting zoo to pet-eating zoo.

Wow. Isn’t this tampering with evidence?

What? You can still afford eggs, dammit?

Motherfucking wind farms…

If it was just pictures of naked people, even having sex, I’d not worry much.
It’s the rest of it. The darker stuff that tears kids apart. That’s what they need protecting from until they are old enough to protect themselves.

As techie people we can see all the flaws that can be circumvented.

But any system that determines if someone is over age A, is also telling you who is under age A, and therefore vulnerable. And it’s not like these tech bros have been slow to exploit the vulnerable, is it?

Wait … what? There’s a franchise? Damn. Who knew?

Nice ⬇️

RIP. Amazing voice.

Life is too short for that nonsense. If I can’t watch a bit of TV and enjoy it, without referring to crib notes on what is and is not canon, then count me out.

The headline below a photo of Trump’s eyes says: CONVICTED US FELON TO ARRIVE IN SCOTLAND. The sub-heading reads: Republican leader, who was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation, will visit golf courses.

NEW: Tomorrow’s front page of Scottish newspaper, The National.

It’ll all be over by then. The 12 year olds will have figured out a way around it, and everyone older than 6 will be using it…

It obviously isn’t. But I stand a better chance of not being injured by a man with a knife, because I might be able to run away. But I can’t outrun a bullet.

Well, we don’t have many cases of asylum seekers shooting people in the face. So there is that…

Apart from her suddenly (and mysteriously) committing suicide in her cell…

We walked away from a freehold house purchase that involved a management company. The developer was very vague about the details, but it seemed clear to us that we were being asked to sign up to an open-ended commitment to ever rising fees, with no right to appeal. Way too scary.

Could we send him some tapes of Mrs Brown’s Boys?

The reason NTSC was originally deemed inappropriate for use in Europe was apparently largely due to the atmospheric conditions being very different to the USA. PAL and SECAM were better for broadcast, but that’s less of an issue when you’re using cables…
