I’ll always be sad that we never got a Discworld novel about Moist von Lipwig being tasked with building the first Ankh-Morpork (hygienic) Underground Railway. Talking Dwarves around to doing the tunnelling for it, goblins naturally wanting to be drivers and engineers, developing a way to deal…

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.

An image showing the colorful transparent plastic of various pieces of technology of the 90's and early 2000s, that were easily the popular choice of the millennial age bracket. Some of the tech is an iMac, Nintendo 64, Sega DreMcast, a PlayStation 2, a Gameboy color and Advance, and CD player.

No fuck off we're not calling this "Millennial grey" this shit was dictated completely by boomer retiree house flippers we absolutely had NO say in this

Millennial grey From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A kitchen with beige grey floors, drab walls, brushed steel appliances, and grey granite countertops. Grey floors and furnishings are said to appeal to Millennial tastes. Millennial grey refers to a desaturated colour scheme that is said to appeal to the interior design sensibilities of the Millennial Generation in the early 21st century.[1] Cultural historian Kassia St. Clair attributed its widespread adoption to a desire among Millennials for "a flexible, sensible choice that will last years, hide any stains, and can be adapted to different schemes."[1] Some have diagnosed Millennial grey as a reaction to the warm hues of the late 20th century.[2] Millennial grey is polarising, particularly when used with imitation-wood-texture sheet vinyl flooring, which many describe as depressing, soulless, or corporate.[3][4] Although attributed to Millennials, the grey colour scheme is often chosen by house flippers, vacation rental owners, or other people who do not actually live in the greyed properties.[3] Thus, the occupant of the property—Millennial or not—has little say in its colour scheme, particularly when deployed for fixtures such as flooring.[4] The greying may have been driven, in part, by a desire to prepare properties for sale in a manner thought to be least offensive to the average buyer.[5] Given the housing crises gripping many countries in the early to mid-21st century, buyers and renters may feel they have no choice but to accept a property decked in Millennial grey.[4] To the extent that Millennial grey is said to be enjoyed by Millennials, it is also said to be loathed by Generation Z.[1][2]

Having a strong desire to just go and live in Viveiro. I went there for a couple of weeks about 25 years ago and I’ve never missed a place more. Sure I was 13, but still. There was a free concert one night that included Spanish bagpipes. Incredible. Need more.

Megan Rapinoe losing out on a world cup advertising brand deal for being an outspoken trans ally as a result of AI decision making underlines how these tools function as mechanisms for censorship and blanding culture into nothingness.

The shamelessness of a political party which is led by a man who just weeks ago called for "pure cold rage" on the streets, shortly before migrants were literally burnt out of their homes, now accusing their opponents of "stochastic terrorism" against them, is quite something

I’ve heard that the reason Doctor Who has been "put on hold" is because they couldn’t get Billie Piper for the special. Are they really so devoid of creativity that none of them could come up with a work around? Would people be disappointed not to see Billie? Yes but Who is used to disappointing…

Is there anybody out there who has a GRC and feels like talking me through the process? I’ve had my declaration witnessed, now if I understand, it has to be taken to a magistrates court for stuff? I’ve not found any clear guidance on what happens with that part and I’d like to know what to expect.

My youngest has finally got into Andy and the Oddsocks on CBeebies. I’ve missed this! We still make scotch pancakes according to Cousin Mac’s recipe that my eldest saw about 6 or 7 years ago (no other way was acceptable after they’d seen that).
