Wikipedia having to rip out hundreds of thousands of archive links bc the archive was run by a completely unhinged person is such an old-school internet story tbh, we generally do unhinged at a much larger scale, now.

Wikipedia blacklists Archive.today, starts removing 695,000 archive links If DDoSing a blog wasn't bad enough, archive site also tampered with web snapshots.

The headline does not convey how completely batshit this story is. The Archive Today (archive.ph etc) admin weaponized the site's captcha to attack a blogger who wrote about them and *altered archived screenshots* as part of the attack.

Very excited for my mulberry to start growing leaves. But what if it doesn't! Nerve wracking.

Shocking - in a good way. The highest monthly surplus ever - Β£30 billion more coming in than went out in jan. It’s Β£6bn more than forecast by the OBR - we can do some good things with that.

How dark web agent spotted bedroom wall clue to rescue girl from abuse Detectives desperate to locate a 12-year-old, seen abused online, found a surprising lead.

This is a story about csa and the dark web. About the angels among us that work tirelessly to defeat evil. A story of hope. If you read it and listen to Don't Give Up on Me by Andy Grammar afterwards u'll probably spend the rest of the day crying. Always hold on to hope

So many interesting theatre productions I'd love to see have come out recently but I'm still not at a stage where I can enjoy expensive recreational things. Wonder how many years it'll take to become financially comfortable again.

I've seen some weird films in my time, but crimes of the future may well be the weirdest.

POV:
You’ve just been let down last minute by someone you were supposed to go for a bottomless mimosas brunch with.

You’re in a state of mental disarray and in a moment of impulse, you call the number of that bloke who did that cracking β€˜man with a van’ ad a couple weeks back. 

I bowl up and open the passenger door of the van for you. 

You get in and say β€œWow, I’ve never been this high up in a vehicle before.”

β€œYou’ll love this then.” I reply.

I press a button on the dash and my tyres expand their diameter ten fold.

We get to the boozy brunch establishment and find our seat. 

β€œJust orange juice for me, thanks”, I say with calm conviction.

I watch you drink 14 mimosas and then we go antique shopping.

You see this beautiful Venetian dresser for half of current market value.

You hesitate for a moment and tell me that you’re not sure how you’d get it back to yours. 

We both pause, then laugh. We can’t stop laughing.

45 minutes later, we’re on the road home with the dresser in the back of the van when we see a karaoke bar that looks particularly popping.

We look at each other, raise our eyebrows and before you know it, we’re doing a really good version of Angel by Shaggy. 

You can’t believe how good my Shaggy is. 

Got something that needs moving?

Bad vibes that need eliminating?

Commuters and residents wait inside a metro station during an air raid alert in Kyiv on Feb. 12. While no missiles reached the city during this specific alert, the Air Force warned of a high threat of a medium-range ballistic missile launch.

Tonight I'm going to polish off a bottle of champagne as a little reward for doing something I was terrified of, and enduring three days of unpleasantness. A difficult work day tomorrow unfortunately and next week busy too so this is my last opportunity to kill brain cells.

It's a cpd course in tree risk but its really tough. I know someone who failed three times so trying not to be too hard on myself.

I've now decided this course was indeed a massive waste of time and money because there's no way in hell I'm going to pass it. But there was no way to know that for sure without giving it a go. So no need to feel very bad about it.

Left training course at 5. It's 30mins away but rush hour = 1hr. Have done some revision, had food and it's already 8. Can't believe I spent 15 years of my working life like that. What a waste.

Having a bit of confusion at the moment as I've unwittingly prioritised business growth (good) over all things. Does this mean I should do a half arsed job of renovation to conserve energy? It doesn't get easier with age so probably not a good idea to postpone things.

I've decided against the vibrant pink. It's giving me a headache. Going for calming lilac instead.

Actually got to a point where I need beer to kill braincells. Just need to numb my brain a little bit. Stressing over absolutely nothing.

a brown wire-haired pup stands on a wooden deck in a grassy yard. he looks at us with golden eyes and his right ear flipped inside out. he has a pipe-shaped stick in his mouth, giving him the appearance of a sophisticated and dapper gentleman. just give him a deerstalker cap and a cloak, and he'd give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money.

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10
