Mysterious non-bio masking tedious backstory and mundane existence.
I am certainly not saying that *nobody* looks and understand - I think some people read it and understand it, I think some people read it and don’t understand it, and some people donr look at the bill but notice the direct debit changing, and some people don’t.
Twlldun@twlldun.bsky.social · 4d agoSorry, but I think you have an insanely patronising view of the general public. People notice service charges. It’s a daily charge. People notice the daily charge.
I'm very sorry everyone, I made *another* new game. MP Chain 🏛️ I recognised 1️⃣5️⃣ MPs in a row. How long is your chain? toys.jamesomalley.co.uk/mpchain/
MP Chain — How many MPs can you recognise?
Pick the named MP from two portraits. One wrong answer ends your chain.

Bizarre things that happened in your assembly: Last day of school. The school stands. The head of music pauses briefly before playing the first chords of the hymn. Ping pong balls fly out of the organ tubes and teachers run around trying to catch them as they bounce. Turns out the Head Boy did it.
Andrew Male@andrewmale.bsky.social · last wk.Bizarre things that happened in your assembly: A neighbour of one of the teachers gave us a five-minute lecture about kwashiorkor which involved him reciting a list of his favourite words (yes, ‘kwashiorkor’ was one of them). Included the unforgettable phrase, “Diarrhoea, another beautiful word.”
I do think much of the time saved on physical drudgery has been replaced with new mental drudgery Eg Now I don’t have to stay home washing clothes and cooking, I am free to work in the call centre. but let’s not kid ourselves, we would probably die young tired and hungry if born in a previous age.
Christening a baby is nothing like christening a ship. I know that now. Once again I can only apologise.
Things I was frightened of as a child: David Bowie in Labyrinth. My older brothers reaction each time I got bored of playing football (I made a toilet break excuse which just inflamed him more). Forgetting not to swallow chewing gum (only after doing it and my mum explaining why it was a bad idea).
Jonn Elledge@jonnelledge.bsky.social · 3w agooh, good game. Things I was frightened of as a child: Icebergs (thought they gave you AIDS) That episode of The Smurfs where they got ill and turned beige The possibility of turning into the Honey Monster or Bertie Basset due to poor dietary choices A benign family friend called Auntie Alice Bungle
Sir, it’s actually spelled p-o-t-a-t-o….’.

Hmmm. There is a distinct whiff of impending doom for America in the air with these US mid-terms approaching. It’s like when a toddler misses their nap and you just know they’re going to have a tantrum at dinner and then won’t go to bed.
A lot of disaffected voters at a republican convention but YOUNG MAN, there’s no need to feel down…
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 3w agoThis keeps happening.
If Trump suddenly dies in office, all these mfers are gonna be up Shit’s Creek without a pardon.
I always hoped the far right’s efforts would come up short… but not like this.

It turns out that support for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party will fall, if and when the leopards start eating the supporters faces…
George Takei@georgetakei.bsky.social · 3w agoEven his base has a breaking point.
Music fact. Iggy Pop’s real name is Ignacius Popadopoulos.
I suspect Lavia can expect some Ben White shithousery in the 2nd half. #ArsChe
Breaking: Someone appears to have hacked the Republican National Convention website and it now redirects to the Epstein Files website.
There is a romance novel coming out called See You Next Tuesday. That...does mean in the US what it means in the UK, right?? I mean, that's the title on purpose?
On the BBC Radio 4 flagship comedy I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, broadcast Sunday lunchtime, national treasure Stephen Fry defined "countryside" as the murder of Piers Morgan, to howls of appreciative laughter...
Horsepower is an insane unit. Imagine buying a refrigerator rated at 3.7 raccoonstrengths.
In 18 months, Trump has gone from "You don't have the cards!" to "Please can you skip attacking Moscow for today so the CIA director can safely land?"
