I don't know about you but I'd quite like to see a crime-fighting pope. Hell, I'd pay good money to see a Batpope.
Right. Let's go do a protest, shall we?
Or maybe I'm faceblind? Or just undercaffinated?
You all need to look more like a 64px smudge of pixely preview in real life basically. Give me a fighting chance here.
The problem with being a uh "destinctive looking" 6ft tran with multicoloured hair is that everyone in the office knows who I am and I spend the first 30 seconds of a conversation bewildered and confused trying to work out who this person is based on a tiny Teams version I've seen of them before
Ah, fuck. Really sorry for your loss π€
If you don't mind venturing as far as Camden my friend Bonnie is excellent - DoomPuppyTattoo on Insta; she works in the studio that's above the Black Heart pub and is amazing (and a genuinely lovely person)
NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. Iβm not crying youβre crying π₯Ήππ§ͺ πΈ: NASA
Dixons
I miss Dixons - standing under those harsh lights, comparing kettles while my wife drifted beside me, still mine, still real. Now she is gone, the shop is gone, and I cradle a boxed toaster like I once cradled her, livid at what woke has taken from me.
Only oklch can save us π₯Ί
Pub anyone? I need to drink away any memory of this week. Get me on a tube to Chalk Farm.
Currently at "casually popped together a lil site design in 2 days otherwise a Β£16.5 billion merger would have been delayed, nbd". Best use of tokens since I discovered the claw machine in Funworld Amusements in Swanage aged 12.
So, so close to finishing my new portfolio site. Does that mean I can have a night off as a treat? π₯Ί
Well, I managed a few weeks without obsessively listening to Ethel Cain's last album, and over the last two days it's snuck back into heavy rotation...
If the radios don't come pre-filled by default, they're making you make a definitive choice one way or the other which I like - an unfilled checkbox = no, but you won't know if that's an intentional choice by the user or if they just missed it, another reason why the radios are maybe better here
Ultimately, is it any more phony than tyres that are designed to disintegrate partway through a race if not changed, or cars designed with fuel tanks too small to contain a race's worth of fuel? Once you're used to it, it's no more artificial than any of those (and certainly no different to DRS).

It boggles my brain how there've been no penalties given out for others driving into him, or failing to stop after cutting corners... But it also boggles my brain where Iceland chicken kievs fit into any of it so I guess I'm going to ignore him and remain as unboggled as I can.
Yet another reason to cancel my Spotify account. I'd rather be fed feet first into a woodchipper than listen to that again.
transgender for everybody β
in 2026 we are NOT hustling, we are NOT grinding, we are doing just enough Job to have money for Video Game
It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
You can only call it βdesign systemβ if it comes from the System region in France.
Otherwise itβs just βsparkling component libraryβ.
I know I'm very very late to this party, so apologies to everyone who's seen this post before - but I've finally got the Liquid Glass update to my iPhone and it's worse than anything I for have imagined. Genuinely outrageously ugly.
I'm enjoying the Random capitals at the beginning of Words every so often that this Bumbling Idiot decides are Very Very Important, despite the English language very much Not Working Like That π«£π
The BBC reporting the Sandie Peggie case as her "winning" when in fact she lost against the poor trans Dr who had done nothing wrong - and in fact was a victim of Peggie's hate campaign - is nothing short of shameful. I'll never pay the lisence fee again. The BBC should be defunded.
My healthcare was better - more consistent, with less fuckups in dosages prescribed - when I was DIY'ing before the NHS took over and accidentally halfed my HRT dose. This is absolutely no surprise and frankly they'll be better off for cutting out the terrible GIC system.
both JEV and Drugovich got penalties for speeding under FCY so I'm curious if all 3 drivers missed the race director announcement / countdown, or if there was some issue with the warning on the wheel.
The formula e drivers championship trophy. If you are brave enough to look directly at it, you'll see the no-longer-used Berlin track configuration on the front, but then your soul will trapped in one of the many blue layers at the back. Best look at it in a mirror, or even better - not at all.
the high-pitched squeal you hear while watching formula e is not from the cars, it's the sound of all the children's souls trapped inside the trophy. It's colossallly, terrifyingly ugly.
