I would, but you cancelled it before I got to the third episode, so what was the point in continuing if I know the story doesn't get finished?
Had a ridiculously hot ramen from Tonkotsu. The menu warned me. The waitress warned me. The cook warned me. It was so hot I got the mrs to recreate an episode of Hot Ones to top the experience. At the end I got to plug what I've got going on right now.
I was wondering why I’d got 19 clickthroughs from The Daily Telegraph…
Interesting development, forcing you to choose more than 1 act is great because thats what a normal voter would do.

*stern face* My mrs said something clever and nobody acknowledged it.
Dan Tappin@oitappin.bsky.social · 4d agoWent to see Spiderman, the mrs leaned over and said - "He's changing, he's got no control over his hormones, making him crazy and lash out at people... He's perimenopausal!" And in THAT fight later - "He has to let go of his hrt patch and accept the change." Hidden teachings in a Marvel movie

Burnham calls more North Sea oil “pragmatic”. There is nothing at all pragmatic about more climate destruction. I call it “irresponsible”. I call Burnham’s attitude “dishonest” I call him capitulating to Trump “cowardly”.

oh my god!!!! there's an actual answer!!!! Google Maps does hide Brighton!!!!!!! bsky.app/profile/robi...
Robin Wilde@robinwilde.me · 6d agoI actually know the answer to this and it's slightly insane. Google pulls from Wikipedia to determine if a place is a city, town, neighbourhood, whatever. Brighton's first line describes it as a "seaside resort" so Google Maps thinks it's a neighbourhood and doesn't display it in the "city" font.
if americans couldn't eat a burger under a democratic president, you would not hear the end of of it for prob 100 years
