In some ways Nolan’s Odyssey reminded me of Monty Python’s Holy Grail: “run away!!! run away!!!!”
There’s a “Meta Labs” retail shop in the hotel I’m staying in that just seems to be about getting kids excited about being able to record video from their pervert glasses.
Repost because most of my followers were asleep when I posted this 😆

I'm particularly fond of Stewart Lee's description of Adrian Chiles, describing him as "a Toby jug that has somehow learned to speak, a Toby jug filled to the brim with hot piss."
Graeme Swanson@swansonian.bsky.social · 2d agoWhat’s your favourite description of a famous person? I like Alan Partridge on Gary Barlow who described him as a “Wide hipped wealth enthusiast”
Metal Gear Solid would have been a very different game if the enemy were Gnome Soldiers.
never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.
You know you're heading towards one of the nerdiest tech conferences imaginable when multiple folks compliment you on your Weyland-Yutani polo shirt just as they're filing past you while boarding the plane 😂
Kinda figured that Terminal 5 would have some kind of aircon. Fucking *roasting*.
Honestly, I’m professionally embarrassed we’re still calling for action on road safety. There’s evidence of progress but it’s slow, and nowhere near ambitious enough. Meanwhile, people keep dying needlessly. That’s why I’m running for Brake. More on why 👇 www.northants.police.uk/news/northan...

Flying lesson went well. I climbed! I descended! I (unwittingly) flew us around the pattern circuit! I didn’t crash! I didn’t get into an unrecoverable spin! The engine didn’t spontaneously blow up! Instructor landed us, though.
Flying lesson shortly! Should be learning the correct way to climb and glide. One of those is distinctly less terrifying than the other.

"The Tories Have Turned Their Back On You", says the MP that has barely been seen in Clacton since his election, and who seems to spend most of his time in the US sucking up to the establishment over there.
Josiah Mortimer@josiahmortimer.bsky.social · last wk.Another recent leaflet from Reform in Clacton hits out at the Tories' "broken promises" Quite an odd focus given that the Conservatives aren't actually running in Clacton.

It did, but unlike my upstairs shower it isn’t consistent so it bounces from warm to cold to warm to cold ad infinitum, so on balance I’ll stick to having my skin flayed off.
Gaz@gazchap.com · last wk.Going to try my downstairs shower for the first time since moving in 6 months ago, in the vain hope that *that* shower has temperature settings somewhere between "ice cold" and "who needs skin anyway?"
