@q that’s loads of space, you could five people in that for a 3 hour journey. They’ll be best friends by the time they get where they’re going.

- Hey, you know how salmon jump up waterfalls on their way to spawn? I managed to catch one on video.

- Nice. You haven't done anything stupid to this amazing, strong, determined, creature have you?

- I said...

- I heard what you said.

All search boxes ever: if there are results for what I typed in but none for what your autocorrection thinks I meant to type it’s safe to assume I knew what I was doing.

@an0key @russss I think most people treat streamer “subscriptions” as more of a tip than something with any attached expectations.

@eskibrew @jmacarthur I find that promotional photo very amusing. Traditional TV person: smiling, but looking casual and approachable. YouTuber: Grinning like a loon and pointing at something.

The online safety act scams have started already, Christ

@gsuberland that’s been my conclusion whenever I touch it as well. It’s Fine, but I find it quite tedious to write, and too verbose to read.

My phone just asked me whether [number] is still my phone number to make sure I can recover access. Surely it can just ask the SIM card?

@fesshole Christ. Just buy yourself a coke and a chocolate bar, she’s your wife not your mother. Or I hope so anyway.

@andypiper @skylar the curse of the Net Promoter Score, somehow considered to be a valid substitute for managers going out into the world and seeing what the service their responsible for is like.

I’ve recently been paying attention to what I eat, and exercising regularly. I was going to make some snide remark about that because it’s quite out of character for me but you know what? All those people who say it makes you feel better know what they’re talking about, I feel better than I have done in quite a long time.

@pikesley because the age verification thing is going swimmingly. How about we put a two hour screen time limit on MPs so they can stop reacting to whatever the Daily Mail tweeted recently and go do something useful instead.

@jalefkowit and yet somehow the rational market says Tesla is still worth more than Ford, General Motors, Rivian, and several other manufacturers combined.

Report imaginary spies or danger to the Gestapo or police.

@MattPCart @anon_opin also it’s just a terrible time. I highly recommend avoiding the need to attend a hospital, they’re full of sick people and doctors poke and prod you.

Just caught my tomatoes trying to sneak out ...

@pikesley it’s fucking everywhere and I hate it. The gradual decline of every service everywhere from Providing the Service to simply being a funnel into whatever get rich quick scheme is bit this week.

Not saying I’m having difficulty thinking today but I just asked myself whether a device had a network connection as a possible cause for some odd lines in the logs being streamed to me from it across the internet.

@anon_opin it’s maybe realistic depending on how difficult interplanetary travel is. Entire planets with a monoculture are just the natural extension of people wanting to live in a bubble of people who think the same as them, although it does raise some moral issues around any children brought up in those cultures believing it’s the only option.

It’s 10:26am and already I’m incandescently angry at the general state of the world. Becoming hermit is ever more appealing.

@solderandchaos “this is not a reply, more of a FUCK OFF”

@IvanSanchez We need more attribution stickers!

Shortly after this photo was taken what I can only describe as a pack of 6 very friendly dogs out for a walk came for a swim. I am now quite wet and muddy.

Not a bad spot for lunch.

@an0key I mean the alternative is Siri reading you all 600 pages of the TuneIn terms and conditions so maybe this is a small mercy.
