I put air in the car's tyres today.

It cost £1, I remember when it used to be 20p.

But, I guess that's inflation for you.

Nowhere else he could have laid 🤷‍♂️🐩

This goal is a bit of me 😍

I have no need for blackberries, but a childhood of foraging makes the ripe ones out there atm look like gold.

Government style ad in watercolour. Image of a burglar stealing a painting from the wall of a home. Tagline: "It's not theft... if you say you're using it to train your AI algorithm". Body text: "Theft is now legal, so we can boost the economy by eliminating jobs. If that doesn't make any sense, ask a chatbot to explain it to you." HM government logo in the corner.

Starting my day the right way...

I can't really qualify what it is that I love about them, but @ericlarocca.bsky.social has to be one of the best in the game at picking their stories' titles.

"You cannot sleep with enemies nearby" notification on oblivion

What if this is why I've not slept that last couple of nights..... 👀

Instead of bad posts, let's watch two Buccaneers argue about the sound goats make while talking about Mike Evans

I've been doing it for 35 years, how can I be SO bad at sleeping?

Sausages and cheese, German supermarket

the scenario we all feared

I had a miso butter old fashioned this weekend, and I've thought of little else since.

"Skibidi toilet" toys

Bilbo saying "i am old, Gandalf. I know i don't look it, but I'm beginning to feel it in my heart."

Walked past the toy aisle in a shop.....

An offensively large spider

Okay, I'm in Cornwall, England,

Not, Bloodygiantspiderlaide, Australia.

What is this about?

90% of my female friends report getting this in their DMs.

...and I really don't love the Gyokores deal. Lots of money on a bloke who's not going to retain loads of value, and who's goals come masked by a load of penalties and the Portuguese league exchange rate.

@larssivertsen.bsky.social re the "do fans just think that transfers are good, not transfers are bad"

I'd say some, yes. You get "club X has WON the transfer window" - how? We don't even know if they'll play well.

The more boring sort - your audience - are a bit more wary.

Im an Arsenal fan...

I think - all things considered - that Jessica Knappett might be one of the most attractive human beings alive.

I'm in no way representation of a normal shopper, but I've bought so many books off the back of people seeming sound online, and you'd be amazed how often decent people write decent books.

I'm not sure what the point is - if there is one - maybe just; don't be a dick.

"Dissapointed in your efforts there....." after a question where you needed to name all five people, and one of them was Barmby

And,

"DID WE GET ALL FIVE IN THAT ROUND!? Fair play!"

I'd have been rewriting the next round on the spot, tripling the difficulty.

Who owns the IP to Body Harvest, and why has a sequal/remake never happened?

I set the lad in credit control an almost impossible challenge, with the incentive that if he achieves it, I eat a packet of wasabi in one go.

He's getting worryingly close....

Does this make me a good or bad boss?

Absolutely sodden from the walk from the car park to work.

Super psyched for 8 and a half hours of warm, sticky, drowned ratness.*

*No, I don't own an umbrella.

This entire tweet sounds like a @chucktingle.bsky.social book title.

Thinking about reading some Shakespeare, will I understand Richard III?

I wanted to start the series from the beginning, but I can't find Richard I or II anywhere.

Why is grief so sneaky? A ninja emotion.

You think you're just having a nice moment and *shhhhhwwwiiing* - shuriken to the feels.

A song, a scent, any weird tiny little thing can leave a window open for that fucker to crawl in through. 🥷

Hmmm, what do I go for today?
Stare into the abyss or scream into the void?
