Beautiful holly blue flutterby frendoing some colour co-ordinated sippy sippy off a beautiful bright-yellow-centred (here be nectar!) Myosotis fren’s flowers, the exact same colour as its wings.

This made me laugh out loud

I don't mind people doing it in social settings at all, but as a freelancer I have teams *and* slack *and* whatsapp for work, so I need to keep notifications on or I'll never see anything, and it only takes a couple of people doing it to completely throw off my day.

Haha sorry! For the record you do not make me furious.

My personal bugbear is people who send the message after every line or sentence. Nothing makes me more furious than trying to concentrate on writing some code while my machine keeps pinging at me. Line-breaks are a thing! Please utilise them! Better yet, send me an email!

no hello please don't say just hello in chat

I do think tech companies are underestimating the amount of
- new account fatigue
- new app fatigue
- useless upgrade fatigue
- terms of service fatigue

“I do not accept that these things happened” ok but they did? They happened and they happened on your watch and you’re the *leader of this fucking country* and more than that, you promised that things would be different if people made you the leader of this fucking country!

I’ll never forgive Starmer for poisoning the well this much. The first Labour government in decades, after so many awful Tory prime ministers, voted in by a country in decline & crying out for change, and all he’s done is convince even more of the electorate that they’re all as bad as each other.

Dan's on antibiotics at the moment and he took 1 on day one because he didn't pick them up until 5pm, and then will have a 2-dose day at the end.

In the era of "we must exclude trans people from playing sport, for Fairness" it's actually quite sickening for various media outlets to be all "check out out, a ROBOT won a marathon!"

This is such great news <3

I made a "chimera selector" out of cardboard.
I will draw temporary tattoos on people for an event so it is kind of my flash sheet.

Ooh interesting, I’ve not heard it called that before!

The first pic looks like it might be three cornered leek?

Been in discords all day while Bluesky's been down and it's made me realise I really miss forums. I cut my teeth on h2g2 and eFests (and also World's End but it's difficult to think about that now) before "social media" was a thing and I made lifelong friends there.

Zoramash killed it.

D&D update: We are fighting manticores. Ebthran wants to keep the littlest one as a pet.

“At a certain age things must change” my arse. You can prise my music festivals from my cold dead hands.

I mean, yes, it's been very funny watching Your Party implode but also: somewhere there is approximately 1 MILLION POUNDS in donations just...sitting around, and no-one knows exactly where it is, who has access to it, or what's going to be done with it. Which feels fucking criminal, if I'm honest.

Went for a walk and a pint and spotted the best example of free will I've ever seen

Mayor Zohran Mamdani behind the counter of a bodega in The Bronx, flanked by various people. A journalist with a microphone labeled “Shop Cats” is standing in front of the sales counter, and holding the mic up to a black and white cat sitting on the counter next to bananas. The cat has an expression like in the famous “Sir, are you aware that you are a cat” meme

“Sir, are you aware that you are a cat, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani is standing right behind you?”

The US and Iran couldn’t reach an agreement after 20 hours so they’ve just…given up? Do I have that right?

I just don't understand how we've managed to get ourselves into a place where having a home - something I would have as a child seen as a baseline - is felt as an enormous position of privilege, something you spend half your life working for and still can only achieve with help or luck.
