Vinyl rainbow brite funko pop with a label that reads “Rainbow Brite and Sprite”

Four Funko Pops: Patty O’Green, Red Butler, Indigo, and Rainbow Brite, all with their unnamed Sprites

In case mom ever wonders why I’m gay. Note: Funko are cowards, that Sprite has a name: Twink.

People with jobs they love: I love my job, it's not really a job since I do what I like every day

People who love to work with computers and work in tech: fuck this shit, computers were a mistake, what the fuck were we thinking?

I propose replacing calories with watt-hours.

- Almost same value (1 kilocalorie / Calorie is ~1.1 watt-hours)
- more intuitive for people who use electricity
- never the confusing between calories (science), Calories (food, which is technically kilocalories), kilocalories, and 'kilo Calories' […]

In the foreground at right you see a young man in a dark green hooded jacket, leaning slightly forward as he writes into a small notebook. A pair of binoculars hangs around his neck and a camera strap dangles from his wrist. He’s standing on a narrow yellow line marked “Mind the Gap” beside the platform edge. To his left sits a two‑car diesel train painted in off‑white with a crimson stripe, its front end showing the number “5849” and a headboard reading “via Kingston 24.” Steam or diesel exhaust drifts faintly from its roof‑mounted exhaust port. The train’s doors are open, but no other passengers are visible. Further back on the platform, a middle‑aged woman in a dark overcoat and sensible shoes is pouring tea (or coffee) from a bright blue thermos into a matching mug. Behind her, the station’s red‑painted lamp‑posts, signboards and a low brick waiting shelter stretch into the distance. Beyond the fence at right you can glimpse suburban terraces. Overcast sky and damp‑looking tarmac suggest typical British drizzle. Everything about their posture and gear—the earnest note‑taking, the camera, the flask—marks them out as dedicated trainspotters savouring a rare sighting.

I am starting to realise that all this time, trainspotting was just a code-hobby for Autistic people to form clandestine self-help / revolutionary groups, with flasks of tea, sammiches and sturdy raincoats.

What! A bunny??

Seriously though i’m biased because i’m a fiber arts sicko but if you want to see a c. 1500 masterpiece in paris i highly recommend skipping the mona lisa and seeing the lady and the unicorn tapestries:

- way less people
- rabbits
- you can get like 1 […]

@midendian As you probably suspect, everything I've found so far says the physical copies were deaccessioned when the electronic copies became open-access (govdocs tend to be a black hole.) Your best bet is going to be small nerd libraries -- most often in museums, where they never get rid of […]

The Chrome team claimed the new CSS carousel capabilities are accessible. Sara — who is extremely experienced in accessibility — puts those claims to the test.

we should replace captchas with a grid of you wearing different new glasses and people pick the best pair

it won’t stop spam either but it’s a great way to crowdsource such an important decision at any kind of statistically meaningful scale

The best text message I've received in a long time:

"Since you’re definitely not autistic, you might not enjoy some fascinating train facts" https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2024/02/27/auto-train-amtrak-lorton-sanford/

A storefront with a sign, “ZERO motorcycles”. But the window contains one motorcycle.

These people are bad at counting motorcycles.

We finally have a sofa that supports Queer Non-Orthogonal Sitting Styles (QNOSS) and it was a very good decision

a card with the following on it: "Any idiot can face a crisis. It's the day-to-day living that wears you out." Anton Chekhov

i sent this card to a friend many years ago, only now do i really get it, see it beyond the flippancy, the smirk.
crisis is an escape and moment of extraordinariness that we all get to participate in and is shared. But the endless punishment of the everyday is […]

A Twitter thread. Amazon Help replies to a (not visible) tweet saying "Autumn Nations Cup coverage is available to Prime Video customers based in UK only. Prime Video doesn't support streaming content through Virtual Private Network (VPN) or proxy connections. Are you using either of these?" Chris Jones says "No." Amazon Help says "Thank you for that information. We apologize but upon reviewing your location you're in Northern Ireland. Rugby Autumn Nations Cup coverage is exclusively available to Prime members based in the UK. We don't have the rights to other territories."

The thread continues. Chris Jones says "Northern Ireland is part of the UK." Amazon Help says "Many apologies, but we don't have the broadcast rights for Ireland or other territories." Another twitter user says "Northern Ireland *IS* the UK, "UK" is short for The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. (This tweet does not reflect my opinions on the matter of a united island of Ireland)" Amazon Help replies "Thank you for reaching out to us. We'll be sure to pass your feedback along to the appropriate team."

Amazon Help replies to a different tweet, and leads with "Hi there! We apologize for the troubles."

in slightly-early honour of St Patricks Day, I will once again remind the world of the time Amazon united Ireland (and apologized for the Troubles), still one of my favourite moments on twitter

What's your favorite show about bunker people in 2025?

rewatching Death to Smoochy for the first time in many years, and my first thought is, "we know this is a work of fiction because the cops are shown raiding a Nazi rally rather than sitting in the audience"

the logical consequence of allowing cops and corporations at pride month is liberal queers doing the, "ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!" once they remember the fact that cops, politicians, and rich bigots are the reason we have pride month in the first place
