If I were a professional navigator I might have opinions about this. ... Oh wait, I am, and I do.
My latest obsession is the graffiti that has popped up at West Denton in Newcastle
Add "for Tax Purposes" to a movie: Swiss (for Tax Purposes) Family Robinson

Is Jeffrey Archer really gone? I thought I heard something about him being spotted back. (checks notes) ah, hang on
This is still brilliant, and it inspired one of my favourite co-worker interactions ever My friend - I'll call him Rico, because that's what we all call him despite it not actually being his name - came over and asked if I'd seen his pliers anywhere I hadn't (that's not the story, there's more)
Josephine Riesman@josie.zone · 3w agoStill the absolute funniest "trailer remix" ever made -- as well as one of the very first of its kind, debuting in 2005 Every shot is perfectly chosen God I could watch this all day
To the tune of Jive Talkin': Vibe codin', You code with AI, Vibe codin', Your CV's a lie.
I've seen this weird argument (not Paul's argument, Danny's) so often I tried to think of a name for it. I've decided to call it the "Wimp Lo Gambit". For example: "If I get consequences for being a jerk, I win!" The really odd thing is that some people fall for it.
Paul Bernal@paulbernal.bsky.social · last mo.No, arresting ‘Danny Tommo’ won’t make him a martyr. *Not* arresting him will fuel his agenda.
I think they're missing the point. The sensible thing here would be to make a Call of Cthulhu or Traveller movie with as close to the same cast and crew as possible. theplaylist.net/john-francis...

I mean, I suppose I *could* call out to U2’s lead singer to try and catch his attention, but what good would that do anyone? Cui bono?
Although I've tentatively enjoyed the recent run of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, it'd be nice to have an episode where I don't expect Graham Chapman to stride into shot in military dress.
I had a job singing sea shanties until I got the old heave-ho.

I've written a handy guide to eating places around the Île de la Cité in Paris. Or, as I like to call it, "The Lunch FAQ of Notre Dame".
I used to work for a bank. A customer asked me if I knew whether interest rates would change in the next few days. "If I knew that," I replied, "I wouldn't be working here".
Chris Webb@chrisporkerwebb.bsky.social · 3mo agoWhen I worked in customer services at the Council, a man demanded to speak to the boss. Not my manager; "the one that makes the rules" - "Do you mean the Prime Minister?" - "Yes." - "Sorry, but Tony Blair doesn't work in Southampton." - "I know that. Do you think I'm stupid? Get him on the phone."
On the off chance he wins, they should make him Speaker. Then he'd be a bass bin.

Take me down to the Passive Voice City where the grass was greened and the girls made pretty
Grudging Signup@grudgingsignup.bsky.social · 4mo agoTake me down to the Parallel City Which is just next to the other one and aligned along the same axis But you never meet anyone from there
I also thoroughly enjoyed it. I've yet to see a review of The Sheep Detectives use the phrase "agents of ovine retribution", which I think is a dreadful missed opportunity.
Tony Kennick@thegreatgonzo.uk · 4mo agoI loved the Sheep Detectives. Sometimes you need something whimsical that is faintly but delightfuly ridiculous†
Annex all the quasi-British tax havens and make them fully official parts of the UK. Isle of Man, Channel Islands, Gibraltar, bits of the Caribbean, etc. Do it as suddenly as possible with troops and forensic accountants, lock 'em down for a few days and find out where the dodgy money was going.
Lorraine Wilson@rainewilson.bsky.social · 4mo agoThey've finally run out of toffs to stand as PM, your name has been pulled from the hat, what's your one (1) manifesto pledge? Let's assume UBI, PR & tax/eat the rich are standard. I want your petty policies, your extremely personal grudges, your old man yells at cloud laws
♫ Spring is here, a-spring is here ♫ Life is skittles and life is beer ♫ I think the loveliest time of the year is the spring ♫ I do, don't you? 'Course you do. ♫ But there's one thing that makes spring complete for me ♫ And makes every Sunday a treat for me...

The BBC saying they're putting Doctor Who out to tender makes it sound like they're sending it to live on a farm to run and play with the other TV shows. #DoctorWho
