Current obsessional thought: has Gillian Anderson ever used an air fryer? 🤔

The only good thing about the weather turning is that I can finally wear my new autumn wardrobe (recycling last night's shirt as I only wore it for 2 hours...)

Being forced to go out on a Friday night and have apparently dressed like a 1950s Iowan corn farmer

Catching up on yesterday's Traitors. I want whatever prescription Jerry Hall is on.

I was invigilating our year 11 maths mock exam earlier and as I was doing so all I could think about was this reel, which lives rent free in my head

This is so fucking cool -- a member of the @garbageday.email discord saved every meme they found funny from 2012ish to 2016ish. They just shared the drive containing over 8,000 memes and images. What an archival snapshot of a very specific time for meme culture! drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Now THIS is how you write a story. Devastating.

I think people should listen to what the administration trying to bring back spectacle lynchings, race riots, and middle passage-esque deportation voyages are trying to tell you about themselves. bsky.app/profile/bren...

The news just since I left work: -A planned livestream of an execution by firing squad -Trump basically trying to incite a pogrom against Somalis Nothing mysterious or complicated about what's happening.

Nothing more devastating than ordering a Chinese, going for something other than your regular dish and it turning out to be mid 😢

Lookit. Deep down every Irish person wants to spin some yank a yarn that gets cited as fact in some factual text. We told an Irish American girl that when the Muppets was released in Ireland, Kermit the Frog was called Dermot the Frog because Cromwell’s son was a Kermit.

According to MIT News, Margaret Hamilton died at the age of 90. "A profoundly influential computer scientist best known for leading the software engineering team at MIT’s Instrumentation Lab during NASA’s Apollo program". This famous photo 🔽 inspired the For All Mankind character Margo Madison.

ah damn, RIP Margaret Hamilton. she took safety-critical software engineering seriously, and got people to the moon and back. news.mit.edu/2026/margare...

Might have to put the heating on 👀

One thing I find endlessly funny about the rise of AI is that it has revealed that there is a large number of people who believe that the reason they wrote essays at school or university is their teachers were desperately waiting for them to provide a definite answer to “Lear: what’s up with him?”

Dr Dean Burnett@drdeanburnett.bsky.social · 6d ago

"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

Holy shit.

The Tory Bayeux Tapestry is very funny and a great skewering of most of the main characters, apart from Angela Rayner who looks absolutely iconic in every image

"I never have any time to read for pleasure :-(((((((" I think to myself as I spend most of my day off lying on my bed doom scrolling

I have the rarest of things this week: a day off mid week, mid term to attend a wedding. So I am frantically refreshing my emails on my non-working day to check we haven't had the Ofsted call 🫠🫠 (My leave would be cancelled if we did)

7pm: alright I'm going to have a super early Sunday night tonight, be responsible, watch something early then head to sleep 10.20pm: knowyourmeme.com/editorials/g...

Five hospitals have now been quarantined: Irkutsk Hospitals No. 1, No.3, No.10, Ivano-Matreninskaya Children's Hospital, and an unnamed maternity hospital, the Moscow Times reports.

This is clearly already Angela Rayner’s WhatsApp pic. Anyway probably most revealing is which friendly journalists are on the Conservative tapestry.

What a fuckin jump scare!

It's like an arsonist being lauded for putting out their fire before it completely destroyed the building

This analysis really makes no sense to me.

I have been up for four (4) minutes and I have just seen an American refer to Germany as Eastern Europe. So I am off back to bed.

Catching up on last night's Traitors. Nobody: Ross Kemp:
