Just found out that my dad and step mum have split up. Not really sure how I feel right now because I was already feeling kinda fragile and this has come as quite a shock

I like prog rock and fuzzy things. Currently living in the North West of England (They/Them)
The new Spider-Man movie was pretty great but the most memorable part of the evening wound up being the singer at a place we went to eat who was so bad we had to leave and go to Taco Bell instead
Should I try Barq? Maybe that's how I find someone local I can be around. I dunno.
Dunno about anybody else but I'm pretty sure I do this because I grew up bouncing between two different sides of the family who would yell at/ punish me for such different and often arbitrary reasons that I was just never really able to figure out what their actual rules were
@wwxwashere.bsky.social · 7d agodon't think i have ever felt so seen by a post in my life
The promise of fresh pork and wine would absolutely work on me

I can't believe Smooth Radio has the gall to say "playing only the best music" in their ident and then immediately put on UB40
90s kids miss owning a TV that didn't ruin their friday evening telling them there's a fucking update every ten minutes
I think it's safe to say the bots didn't do me many favours in this game
Two collections of Metal Gear games from Konami but they have still not managed to release a version of Portable Ops which has a camera that actually makes the game playable
If I find out who keeps leaving the toilet with just one piece of toilet paper I feel it's my duty as the biggest person who works here to flush them until they learn better
Half way to working it out and making it real! We have to make it what we want, just you and me and everybody... keep sharing! Keep Pledging! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tjd...
Third place is great. You objectively did quite well without the second place thing having the bitter shadow that you're just the best loser
So I don't really care about football but did England just trounce the favourites after losing to a team because they spent half the match doing literally nothing to win against?
my vow of silence has lasted years and also overpowered the urge to talk because I have a HUGE fear that I might be bothering people by like... existing

Dook! Hi everyone, I'm excited to introduce myself. I'm Fez the Ferret and I'm the representative for Mad Fur It, the UK's newest furry event. I've been styled by the wonderful @beffumsartworks.com and I think she made me look fantastic. Hope to see you all in early 2027 in Manchester. #MadFi
it'd be funny if like one singular person could make me not feel terrible about mysself like as a joke, you know?
They got a fish and chips stand and holy shit these are the best chips I've ever had
Damian Tanuki@damiantanuki.bsky.social · 3w agoWork summer party today. I put on shorts and sun cream which at the moment is looking like a rare moment of being over optimistic for me
Nah, I'll keep those tabs open, thanks. Most of us have ways of dealing with this already that don't involve theft and destroying the environment
GitHub@github.com · last mo.The story around AI used to be about generating more. For many neurodivergent professionals, the bigger benefit is offloading invisible labor: remembering what you promised, the dozen tabs open in your brain, the thread you meant to reply to. ⬇️

Good of Serkis to take pity on a small video game developer and go out of his way to make a piece of Gollum focused media even more innately unpleasant than what they put out
Jessie Gender@jessiegender.bsky.social · 3w agoIncreasingly, Serkis makes me feel like he’s making this movie for the toxic bros. Pro-AI, all-white cast, ignoring Tolkien’s real words for the vibes-based mythologizing of him; all shit toxic bros love. He also made the Animal Farm movie that completely missed the books anti-authoritarian point.
![Variety tweet with a picture of Gollum from LOTR that reads - Andy Serkis gets asked why his "Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum" cast is all white actors and says: "I don’t think we will be doing a politically correct just-casting-for-the sake-of-casting-and-ticking-boxes version of the film."
“Tolkien himself was influenced a lot by Norse mythology, there’s a lot of that feeling. The Shire feels very, very much like a very, a very white, you know… They’re not very concerned about what goes on beyond the borders of The Shire, but they know they don’t want people coming in. Yes, there have been criticisms [about a lack of diversity]. This particular film is somewhat acknowledging that. But I don’t think we will be doing a politically correct just-casting-for-the sake-of-casting-and-ticking-boxes version of the film. So, it’s where relevant basically." (via BBC)

I literally just made an account there because it was required to use the VR headset I got during lockdown. I have no idea who Marcus is and yet some days I get three of these emails. He haunts me so
I felt a great disturbance in the Force. As if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror then cancelled their day off next Monday
As I understand it Spain winning the match tonight is the favourable outcome when it comes to England winning the overall thing if they win tomorrow's game? Normally I wouldn't care but if it means getting an extra day off work next Friday I guess I'm gonna actually start rooting for them
