Plausible Fact of the Day

The Linkin Park song "In The End" is about the futility of trying to open a pack of biscuits* using the little "open here" tab

*Custard creams, naturally. Why would you be attempting to open any other type of biscuit packaging?

I really hope Terry Pratchett had some inkling that the Vimes Theory of Boots would end up being referenced all over and often politically. I suspect he would have been incredibly amused by all of us. And maybe pleased at how much it helps people see how our system currently works.

A black and white cat sitting on a burgundy rug. She's staring wide eyed at the camera, her bushy white whiskers and elaborate white eyebrows framing her face in a way that suggests she hasn't been fed since the dawning of the modern age. The tip of her nose is slightly discoloured from sticking her face right into her first meal.

My cat, who is angling for a second pouch of wet food*, is an expert at what I'm referring to as "psychological warstare"

*Presumably because she didn't get enough gravy on her nose the first time

This is a great summary of what's going on in particular sections of the news media. It's obvious that the only real issue that the tabloid media has with Zack Polanski's mouth is that he uses it to say that we should lift up people who are struggling instead of the rich.

A seeming predictive portent pen quote of Terry Pratchett from his Going Postal story that reads, β€œWhat kind of man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.”

Please try your best to avoid supporting organizations that are funding Trump's hate crusade. If that means resorting to a less convenient way to play music, or going without the latest phone model for a year or two etc... they are small prices to pay in order to send the message "Hate isn't ok"

Shocking no one, the Discworld tabletop RPG gets extremely political Terry Pratchett's Discworld is famous for using fantasy to make poignant remarks, and the Adventures in Ankh-Morpork carries on that trend.

I hadn't even noticed, an entire article about the Discworld RPG adventure that I penned!

A Discworld themed tarot-sized 54 playing card deck is one of the rewards from the Adventures in Ankh-Morpork kickstarter. So, not actually tarot cards, but based on the description, it sounds like it could be used as one! 😁

Guess the Game this week was only one of my favourite video games ever made! The Curse of Monkey Island.

Not many people have heard of it these days, but a couple of you seem to remember it at least!

A view from the ceiling of an opera house, or maybe the chandelier? The proscenium arch and balconies are all decorated in swirly, ornate gold. On the stage a large man wearing a small mask is singing. Besides him, a large woman with curly brown hair and wearing a green dress is singing, and standing in front of her a thin, blonde woman in a white dress is singing. Behind this trio is a small Watchman with a suit, axe and helmet, behind him are some yellow trolls in suits. Right at the back is a sinister-looking figure in black and probably another figure in a mask welding a knife, though it's not very clear. Peeking around the curtain is another black clad figure. In front of the stage human and troll musicians are playing. In a private box a man surrounded by plush red curtains is leaning over to look at the stage. Above him there's a massed rows of audience made up of people in formal wear, all looking towards the stage, some leaning over the balcony. The central leaner is a witch with red boots, stripy stockings, a black dress and pointy black hat with a grey cat perched on it. She has her feet on the chests of 2 men in the audience and is leaning over the balcony with a pipe clamped between her lips.

It's all going wrong at the operahouse. In this crowded scene, there's trolls, witches and watchmen about, but where's the opera ghost and will he kill again? The fat lady is singing but it doesn't look over just yet.

Lancashire’s Reform-run council plans to close care homes and day centres Questions about potential conflict of interest as council’s cabinet member for social care owns private care company

The scary part is that it's so blatant, and they are getting away with it.

"Questions are also being asked about a potential conflict of interest involving Reform’s cabinet member for social care in Lancashire, who owns a private care company with his wife."

I think it's fairly obvious that Labour, much like the Tories before them, are just doing all they can to make sure they have as many favours to call in from rich people as possible.

Getting into power was just part of their career development plan.
