the penne opticon

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

The only thing that offended me at uni was that the chemistry lab work expected us to know things we wouldn't cover in lectures for another 6 weeks. That and the early mornings.

Today the Prime Minister will assure Parliament that there was no window, or if there was a window it did not break, and if it broke it was not from a ball, and if there was a ball there was no kick.

He will add that he is "furious" about the window that broke from a ball that was kicked. (By him.)

It's what keeps me flexible

And you also shouldn't do one to yourself

Is this a community chest card from a new Monopoly?

claude fix bluesky

Suddenly all those Mastodon nerds look like they made a good decision with actually decentralising their platform

I will never stop thinking about this. Victory but at what cost?

I forgot to account for 100 pennies in a pound when working out the height of £1M worth of pennies. 1.3 miles was a good answer but 2 orders of magnitude too small.

Just the two of us. Quite impressive really but I'm still ruminating on my (winning but incorrect) tiebreak answer

Strawberry Switchblade. A duo in polka dots.

Noseybonk looking in a mirror. A character in a mask with a long nose.

Angine de Poitrine. A duo in polka dots who have masks with long noses.

Strawberry Switchblade and Noseybonk walked so Angine de Poitrine could run.

I got confused about what street I was on when I first saw it. "I've lived here for 20 years, I think I know where I am."

There's one on Market Street in Edinburgh. A bit of a roundabout commute but at least you can get a stamp on your loyalty card.

they should bring back celebrity deathmatch. the world needs a claymation fight between the pope and trump more than ever

Your Party is a right-wing psyop designed to discredit the left by making them look fucking ridiculous

Populism is a fundamentally dishonest form of politics, that attracts fundamentally dishonest people.

It is a tissue of lies that validates the darkest prejudices, and covers up the most blatant greed and corruption.

It generates wealth for the few, and suffering for the many.

Wild that Altman is being sued by his sister for repeated sexual abuse and that doesn’t come up in basically every conversation about him. I get that it’s alleged but if that shit was happening to someone else I feel like that would come up, particularly if that person had a history of lying a lot.

If you win the Masters back to back you should get green pants

In this scenario Chad is a Democrat who loves The West Wing

Orban achieved a level of authoritarian consolidation unthinkable here and they still successfully got rid of him. Never let the doomers have the final say.

Is the new Hungarian PM really called Peter Hungary? This is like a US president being called Chad America

was once New Amsterdam.

It was literally fields

An incredible nostalgia kick this weekend, visiting Inverness for the first time in what feels like 20 years to see some school friends who I haven't seen since they got married before the pandemic. @walkyouhome.bsky.social got the full history tour: "this used to be C&A" etc.

This is my greatest challenge as an adult piano learner. Like, I *understand* why they're different but by god it's a lot of effort to read the left hand parts

Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .

THEY SENT FOUR HUMAN BEINGS 252,756 MILES AWAY, WENT FULLY AROUND THE MOON AND BROUGHT THEM BACK TO LAND IN THE PRECISE LOCATION THEY WANTED

EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON THIS IS THE COOLEST PERSON ON EARTH
