Friends don’t let friends use Google search. Malvertising is genuine threat.

I gotta say pink and red was a bold choice for Jessie but she carried it off

@patrick.risky.biz The new pod channel is an absolute delight! James has a wonderful storytelling style and I learned so much from the first episode. Keep them coming!

Why do I dislike Mr. Bean so much?

The Cardiff Lions do an annual Drag Rugby charity match for children’s charities and it’s as beautiful as you imagined

Happy Nollaig na mBan ❤️

Is terraforming immoral?

Oh ffs Apple, make an eReader. I bought a Kobo because it's the anti-bezos and it's barely functional. No evidence of Apple-level fit and finish. Sigh

I feel seen.

When you're FaceTiming someone and they take a pee, you are 100% within your rights to critique how well they wash their hands afterwards.

And because I'm being curmudgeonly (I blame fucking time zones), I am unfollowing all the cat pix posters who use some sort of baby-language patois as the putative voice of their cat.

For the record, I am fucking sick of time zones.

Yay! ❤️

Sociologists and psychologists tell us that ritual is important. This is why I drink Guinness

Monday night session in E-Town.

(No, no one actually calls it that)

Is that a bit like the American TV show called Lauren Audagh?

My Google cloud storage hosting went from ~ USD10 a month to less than USD2 a month after I moved to a data centre in Finland. Either it's really that much cheaper or else I broke something and nothing is getting backed up haha.

Oh, but wait. I've tested my backups — have you?

This made me cry because our Helga used to do the same thing. 😿

Wtf is wrong with ppl who post cat photos (admirable) and then writing a caption in some sort of feline-English pidgin (deplorable)?

Update: I found a kimchi supplier in Dublin who ships to the my town. Now I have a source. The universe is back in balance (except my fridge smells of kimchi)

Please don't say "skeptic". They are antagonistic, not skeptical.

Good friends Pepper and Coco are both unwell. Pepper had to go to the emergency vet because he was puking up blood. Coco got into a fight with a neighbour and now wears the Cone of Shame. It's a rough time for my friends.

In movies, when the protagonist is trying to win the money he owes to the gangsters through gambling, he always loses. It's the law.

I'm gong to watch the Ennis women play some serious rugby on Saturday. It's literally been several decades since I watched a rugby match in person. Big thanks to Saher Hamden for letting me know the match was afoot.

Listening to African hip-hop. American music is everywhere.

I just came across this review of a book: "Delightfully crunchy without being chewy"

Who's the genius who came up with that? Oh wait, it was me.

I’m not crying, YOU’RE crying.
What a delightful read. Thank you!

As a serial immigrant, I think I can relate to your dad.

A key factor, not mentioned in this report, was whether the kiss was consensual.

Doing my part in supporting my local Desi restaurants and grocers. It’s a fuck you to the racists AND I get delicious and delightful food and groceries. Win-win!

Sorry, why is this a shock? I mean it’s pretty on-brand all ‘round, no?
