I'm sure this was a previous challenge on Lego Masters Australia. Guessing these parts won't make it into the parts bins...

β€˜I’ve been spat on’: gender non-conforming women tell of toilet abuse in aftermath of supreme court ruling Support groups report that women and non-binary people are increasingly being challenged in toilets and changing facilities – but others call it scaremongering

When I said the various Rowlings and Linehans of Britain were assuming and hoping for the public to act as the unpaid enforcement arm of their crank movement, this is precisely what I meant.

tbh this is where private lists work well for me in Mastodon (via Ivory). I've got several lists that I can dip in to as I like, and Ivory saves my unread position.

I'd love it if we can get that on bsky, but right now it means making a public feed which is not really what I want.

Same for working at a CDN. I have seen things I wish I hadn't seen. Sometimes just from seeing an access log entry.

A grey sign with white writing stands in front of an old tree. The sign reads: I am very old and need to rest. Please don't sit on me

When you’re showing your kid β€˜Back to the Future’ for the first time and you have to explain that if we went back in time as far as they did we’d be going back to… 1995. 😱

He's awful. He's worse than Tom Cruise for being exactly the same in every film. My hot take is Liam Neeson ruins every film he's in.

We decided to ignore the payback when we did our Solar Together scheme a couple of years ago. To us it was an investment. Having gone for solar+battery and changing our Octopus tarriff to Agile and then IOG has saved us loads since the install.
