An autistic woman longing for human contact has had her hopes repeatedly dashed by the troublesome existence of other humans, it has been revealed.

this is fucking nuts:

I love it when my phone makes a memory of my dog featuring the clips of video of her I took to show the vet her distressed behaviour right before she died. Great work phone.
(I know, I could delete them, I just haven’t gone back there to do so since it happened)

1 ‘There follows a public safety message from the Ministry of Taps.’ 2 [Show a moustachioed man in a white coat, standing next to a sink with two taps.] Hello. 3 Here are two beautiful, British taps. 4 Don’t they make you proud? Cold and hot, divided in modesty, as God intends! 5 But in recent years, more and more Britons are using ‘mixer taps’ - a highly addictive form of foreign tap. 6 The great British tradition of washing one’s hands via a weird sort of hot-to-cold dance is under threat. [Show someone doing this dance] 7 The 'mixer' is a gateway tap. One minute you're dabbling with a dual faucet. Next thing you know, you're 'dancing with the fisherman's hose'. [Show one of those big bendy fishmonger’s hoses that people have these days] 8 See here the brain of a healthy, two-tap using Briton: [Show diagram of a brain with two thirds of it devoted to ‘WASHING HANDS’] 9. And this... is the brain of a ‘mixhead’: [Show same brain diagram, but the Washing Hands section is replaced with ‘FOREIGN THOUGHTS’] Remember: Mixing can lead to foreignness and fishmongery. BRITONS: DON’T MIX YOUR TAPS [Ends]

How hidden soil fungi ‘steal’ bacterial DNA to control the rain Soil fungi “borrow” bacterial genes to control the weather

A picture of a library shelf with a small rolled up note on it. The note says “read this” in child’s handwriting.

A picture of the note unrolled. In the same child’s handwriting it reads “beware of the future!!”

Still thinking about this note I found in the children’s section of the public library when I worked there back in 2018. This kid tried to warn us…

They’ve been expecting to answer my call in one minute for the past 10.

Relentlessly upbeat hold muzak from the IT department 😭

Had to scrape ice off the windscreen for the first time in ages as a special birthday treat.

Indeed.

I’ve taken the really heavy duty painkillers as a special bedtime treat.

AI footage in the quote post. However it's a real fact, with real footage available (See my link below). Now people who believed it have a false image of how octopus act, and people who recognise it as AI question a real observed scientific fact. Utter bullshit.

I have done something terrible to my back without knowingly doing anything terrible to my back. Middle age is non stop fun.

Take down bird feeders this summer to cut spread of avian disease, says RSPB Charity advises replacing seed and nut feeders, where birds gather, with small amounts of mealworms, fat balls or suet Garden birds should not be fed seeds and nuts over the summer months, the RSPB has said, in an attempt to reduce the spread of avian diseases. Bird lovers are being urged to take down their bird feeders between May and October to help birds such as the greenfinch, whose numbers have plummeted after the spread of trichomonosis, a parasitic disease transmitted more easily when birds cluster around feeders in the warmer months.

Britain breaks solar energy record twice as UK’s biggest solar farm gets approval Record high set on Monday and raised on Tuesday, with 14.4GW of electricity generated in sunny spring weather

A single line in this piece just made my day:

“The electricity system operator is understood to be preparing to run the grid without any gas for short periods as soon as this summer, in a first for the UK energy system.”

Renewables *work*. And progress matters🎉

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly:

- Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat)
- Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex)
- Humming (stimulates vagus nerve)
- Exercise (anything helps, outside even better)
- Impeachment and removal

Can I get that on a t-shirt?

Now if the universe or calcifying arteries could intervene before the two weeks are up 🤞

Good morning, everyone! Masuke has been out and about again this morning, full of energy.
