Money makes people do dumb shit. They should just own the dumb shit.

There is a chicken slowly roasting in the oven. The house smells amazing and the cat is bouncing off of the walls. Any human who passes through the hallway outside of the kitchen is met with an array of desperate meows.

JK Rowling tweeting got a boycott of M&S, stretching facts to the breaking point, and making the world a worse place for absolutely everyone.

The employee asked the girl and her mother if they needed help shopping. That’s it. That’s all. The misinformation, the insinuations (because the facts are inconveniently benign) are EXACTLY what was done to lesbians in the 80s. This is the product of hate and fear, not reality.

Being unemployed sucks so much. I know I'm good at things! It's just happens to be that one of the things I'm not good at is convincing other people of this fact.

I kid, obviously, but today I did spend 3 hours applying for one vacancy only to get an email telling me I'd find out if I've made it through to the second application round in due course...

To receive my Job Seekers Allowance from t'government, I have to spend 35 hours a week searching for work and applying for jobs. Given how complex the application process has become for some vacancies, this equals 2 jobs a week.

This is honestly the most random thing in my bedroom/office and my desk is where I conduct all my paranormal related research from, so…

A tall glass candle with yellow wax, flame visible at the top against a purple lit background. The decal on the candle vessel shows Pedro Pascal edited into a traditional prayer candle saintly figure with a flower crown and a sacred heart symbol.

I, an atheist, today made a random impulse purchase of a prayer candle with Pedro Pascal on it. His solid support of queer and trans rights doesn’t go unseen by the LGBTQIA+ community. When my queer ass saw the candle I thought β€œyeah why not”.

Close encounter with great white shark near Halifax sparks awe, disbelief | CBC News A Dalhousie University student studying marine biology is sharing a breathtaking photo of a great white shark she took while on a recent research expedition off the coast of Halifax.

When I first saw this photo a day or so ago, I thought it was an AI-generated prank. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Does anyone get weirded out when filling in the "equal opportunities" parts of job applications, because it feels like data that could be used to rule you out for the job?

I did my unmasked autism face at a woman who got rude with staff at Greggs because sausage rolls in the oven hadn't cooked yet.

I used to work at Greggs when I was a teenager. I gave her the full stare. The. Full. Stare. Then I bought my sandwich.

Oh you know what? Watching the earlier Marvel films back, knowing all the suffering the characters are going to go through? The earlier films hit different. Geesh...

I also feel a weird sense of nostalgia. Almost like I am mourning Tony Stark, knowing what will come about in the end in canon. Weird…

a close up of iron man 's face with his eyes lit up ALT: a close up of iron man 's face with his eyes lit up

I am watching Iron Man (2008).

I felt compelled to start watching from the start again after seeing the Spider-Man suit drop earlier today 🀩

Can’t believe this is 17 years old. It holds up so well - those engineering and suiting up scenes are still a delight to watch!

If you feel the weather in your bones, this might be why Meteoropathy is an emerging field that studies physiological reactions to environmental changes, especially barometric shifts.

Some people feel the weather in their bones. A storm rolls in and so do headaches.

For years, this phenomenon was dismissed as imagination or coincidence.

Now, with sharper tools and more data, researchers are taking weather-related symptoms seriously.

The Cat in the Hat movie looks legitimately awful. Just awful. I got mad just watching the trailer.

I don’t have children and likely never will, and sitting through kid appropriate trailers at the cinema has made me extra glad that I will never have to watch those shitty, shitty films. Geesh.

Also, at the start, when the name of the movie came up on the screen, about a dozen people walked out of the cinema.

I saw Blair Witch (2016) at one of those β€˜scream unseen’ events, where you pay Β£5 and don’t know what you were about to see.

It has 18 jump scares. At one point, I found myself stood up because I’d leapt from my seat in terror, and realised that all the people sat around me were also now standing.
