I used to to work for a company that insisted on that. We had headshots and everything. It was so cringey.

That's beautiful. I'd be in absolute floods of tears if I was in that audience.

Me with a new haircut that is very "90s boyband".

My hairdresser was talking about going to a 90s party, and asking me what the fashions were like. She said "My mum said Kylie and ... someone? I've never heard of them!"

On top of making me feel ancient, she seems to have accidentally given me curtains.

Awful Facebook AI tribute to John Virgo holding hands with a snooker ball at the gates of heaven.

Awful Facebook AI tribute to John Virgo holding hands with a snooker ball at the gates of heaven.

Bloody hell just seen this "tribute" to John Virgo on Facebook. Possibly the worst thing I've ever seen.

And will this snooker ball be the new Paddington? (Or penguin, I can't keep up).

Husband is watching this - every bit of dialogue is exposition, and the acting is hilarious.

"This radio transmitter is Soviet, there's a label here that says Mishka"

"Soviet? Well that explains this Russian bear that I found on [victim's] desk"

"And Mishka is Russian for Bear!"

Painful.

Does anyone else remember the "fun houses" in Scarborough, where you paid to walk round in the dark, scream at scary waxworks and have people jumping out at you?

I also remember a place that looked like a public toilet from the outside,but had waxworks of torture in it.

Did I dream them?

My autistic 22yo was out at a party last night until 2am,

"Did you drink?"

"No, nobody did. We all did PowerPoint presentations on our particular hyperfixations"

I wish I'd had people like that at 22. I'm so glad I eventually found my people, (and stayed friends with @mikaltempo.bsky.social!)
