Phoebe

welcome back buddy

i am trying to lead a wholesome existence here

Not the point really but it really bothers me that this isn’t really a correct use of the word whopping

i am genuinely rattled in a manner that can only be described as Regular Poster on a Skeptics Forum in 2008 by how routinely cranial osteopathy is recommended to worried new parents for all kinds of infant issues

my favourite part of it is that referring to Leonardo as ‘Da Vinci’ is an unwitting signpost to the fact that you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about & as such makes you very much not a polymath. He couldn’t even programme the dick sucking machine correctly

going to go against the grain here and say that i think this is very cool legend behaviour

does one of those dogs have an ultra long spine tail

[big john voice] Hieronymus Bosch

my goodness me!

where is spy 2 is what i want to know

K from the Moomin ABC, caption reads ‘how nice & fluffy you are’

getting out my red felt tip and circling ‘fluffy’ until the nib tears through the page and bores directly into the table

working up an idea for a Guy Fawkes torture influencer edit box (also a real pumpkin patch is fine, a field that someone has tipped pumpkins into full of understandably enraged toddlers is suboptimal)

first week on the job as elon musk’s personal comeback writer, excited to hear what everyone thinks of my work :)

becoming a single issue crank is so freeing, all i think about & talk about is punishments for people who don’t pick up after their dogs & how to effectively police my plan to stop non local people attending local fireworks displays

this is so nice, thank you!! (& also thank you to your wife, what a delightful thing to be told)

we must imagine the incy wincy spider happy

I believe robert cecil let the first part of the plan unfold so he could catch Guy about to light the sticks rather than just making arrests before (they were probably betrayed by one of their number but they also all just went round discussing it. It was a very poorly guarded secret)

oh my god it is so interesting - it was nearly entirely foiled BEFORE it happened, and they went ahead even knowing it was going to fail. There was also a demented second last stand by some of the conspirators which failed because the dynamite got rained on

yeah fair enough. what i would have liked when i was on them was a function that identified people who were in relationships but were yet to define the terms & continued to date without being honest about their availability, & issued them with a medium severe electric shock

i guess a pull down menu would be better but i still reckon that could be easily exploited, and there’d be no way round having an ‘any other comments’ box. Also like if you don’t like the look of someone why would you care if their profile is no good - it assumes a sort of collectivist altruism

From what i can see the apps are all pretty disastrous but i doubt that allowing for feedback on profiles would be used in the spirit intended

no you’re completely correct. anyway justice for nancy

Tell me the take!

adding a new one for halloween week, feel free to use it in your own lives: ‘Sarah was actually the bad witch in the Craft, not Nancy’. going to see how this plays at the sandpit & report back

unfortunately my child is already having this explained to him as part of his bed time story repertoire

TV Show Seinfeld’s Elaine Benes confronted with a mannequin of …herself???

@phoeberoi.bsky.social my theoretical kids would never understand I had the ⚾️
game on mute while listening to a novel and then looked up much later and saw this and had to take a picture bc of a podcast that is now about the Ancient World

Kingdom of Heaven, featuring our buddy @lukeisamazing.bsky.social from @wnsdpod.bsky.social, who came on to consider Orlando Bloom’s unorthodox diction with @phoeberoi.bsky.social and @patrickwyman.bsky.social

this time last year the president was in his Girls Chat panicking because he tried to trim his fringe himself & it came out uneven and the advice was ‘diva, just cut it short all the way across & have baby bangs’ so with the East Wing he really is just scaling this advice

i *am* a Mara in that i routinely drink from a chipped mug i have had since i was 18 with elvis on the side & have to bullied into throwing anything away but i secretly yearn to be a ‘get rid of it all & have everything understated & chic but very much matching’ so my answer is they’re both wrong
