Fortunately yes. I'd rather be a passenger on one the TFTD cruise missions than that one though.

Just started introducing the Dwarf to my eldest (12), absolutely perfect for them and another notch in the parenting win column.

In my head I read this as Zelensky walking in a pub and separating the two midst bar brawl.

Probably not Beijing's problem if a couple of their people got a bit leery after some refreshments.

Houston, we are venting something out into space. I can see it outside window one right now. It's definitely a... a blob of Swigert's SPACE JIZZ.

I for one anticipate the release of the classified documents surrounding the Apollo 69 mission.

Preferably with technical drawings.

As a nominal Southampton FC fan you have just brought me to the awful realisation that a whole bunch of people made Rupert Lowe an MP. Rupert fucking Lowe? Seriously?

I mean, I knew we were fucked, but boy had just how fucked not really sunk in.

At least there was a convenient nickname for whoever was navigating.

You have no idea, in the middle of all this horror and carnage, how happy it makes me to know that someone knows the difference between YU and UoY.

The top of a cake. The sides are palisaded with chocolate fingers and the top is covered in chocolate ganache. Sat in the ganache are five decorative pigs having fun in the mud. One has a lump of ganache on their head that looks like one of their siblings couldn't control their bowels adequately.
At the back sits a pig with a ganache comb over and moustache. It is clearly Hitler-pig.

My wife knocked up a quick birthday cake. I questioned, in the current climate, the wisdom of including Hitler-pig.

Wouldn't want to be calling the claims hotline to sort the insurance on that one.

I've just bought Rift of the NecroDancer after loving the demo and the previous Crypt.

If only I could find some time when I wasn't exhausted to actually enjoy it.

Screenshot of a survey response. Question: What one change would you most like to see in the PDR Process? Answer: Nuke it from orbit, it is the only way to be sure.

Institution HR have sent around a survey about our Professional Development Review system.

I am not in the mood to be engaging constructively with this sort of bullshit.

Thank you Luna! I currently have your beautiful face open on my bluesky tab so as soon as I come back to doomscroll, you are there to remind me not to.

I had the full set in that edition. I read them so much and have loved reading them to my children.

Went to the excellent @portalbookshop.bsky.social at the weekend and spent the book token (and a bit more) that they generously gifted out in a draw a few weeks ago.

Thank you and long may you continue to keep my to-be-read pile growing!

A ginger cat sits loaf-like by an empty food bowl whilst giving a contemptuous stare at the camera. Immediately behind him is a tub of cat food, sat doing nothing.

Looks familiar.

And holidays in the Lake District where I could look down into the Hawks doing their low level valley runs.

Aye, me too; under one of the Luton approaches when I was younger and then later near the point of the south coast where Concorde left land and was allowed to go boom.

There were three of the noisy buggers chasing each other around and making pretty patterns in the sky. At least I had something to watch whilst I was waiting for the youngest to come out of school.

The Last Bookstore on Earth looks perfect for me - post-apocalyptic and about a bookshop, what more is there?

Your annual reminder that no one who works in a restaurant wants to work on Christmas Day, they're there because the owners (who will be at home with their families) want more money. You can make it unprofitable to open by simply not booking a restaurant on that day

Two kittens, one ginger, one white with a red collar, are laying together on a blue sofa. They are head to tail and shoving each other with their little kitten paws. They continued to aggravate each other like this for the rest of their lives.

Photos threw this one up of my two when they were tiny kittens. This Christmas is two years since Freja died and three since Odin. I still miss my cats so much. #ProofOfCat
