With her keen wish to co-opt other crew members into her constant am-dram shenanigans, Beverly Crusher is basically the Linda Snell of the Enterprise. Isn’t she?

Mobile phones in schools

Glad to hear @diabetesuk.bsky.social will be keeping their eye on this: "Where mobile phone use allows pupils to manage their medical condition effectively, it would not be reasonable for a school to prevent this." www.gov.uk/government/p....

Going to tell the grandchildren this was The Mandalorian and Grogu.

Just enjoy that instead. It’ll help.

Oh I absolutely would

Photo of Pedro Pascal wearing a dark grey blazer and loosely tied necktie, paired with short blue denim jorts. He is holding some cream coloured roses in one hand and the other is over his crotch where he has suggestively tucked his index finger into his fly. You’re welcome.

I might be misreading things but it feels like the timeline could use a picture of Pedro Pascal in little shorty jorts

Oh crap. Thanks for the heads up.

I’m nearly at the end of my second tin of ghee since I started living in this flat (on my own) 7 years ago. I’m not sure if that’s good, bad, or I’m just not cooking enough daal and adding a decent fried tarka afterwards. It is SO bad for you. But SO delicious for cooking with.

It's Jon Pertwee awareness hour. Please contemplate Jon Pertwee for the next 60 minutes.

FFS. Nothing takes me out of a film faster than failure to even do the most basic research. The Statue of Liberty is on an ISLAND. It is not buried in a jaunty angle in the sand.

"Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, & we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, & we will call it... "This Land."
"I think we should call it "your grave!"
"Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
'Har har har! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die!" "Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!"

Not once in the 80s, 90s or 00s do I recall a politician urging the public to embrace email, mobile phones, texting, two factor authentication, online banking, air fryers, or to replace all their cassette collection with a CD collection.

So forgive me if I smell a rat.

“Of course in the old days Bluesky was only on for three hours a day. We used to get dressed up in our Sunday best to log on to it. Then when it shut down again we’d all stand up and sing the national anthem”

Absolutely.

LOLing at the “I probably have more computing power in my Newton” line in last week’s From All Mankind. Kinda love the idea of the Newton still existing and thriving in an alternate reality 2010s.

The Vimes Boots Theory has been running up hard against "are these boots $200 because they're built right, or is that purely a brand positioning thing and they're made of the same 1mm-thick fake leather as the $50 ones"

You can't fool me, that's Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers

Meme of Samuel Beckett using the photo of him taken by Jane Bown, just his b/w face top left against a black background. He says “I can’t go on”. Then, on the right, Mrs Doyle from Father Ted says “Ah, go on”. Then, below left, Beckett says “I’ll go on”

So, happy 120th anniversary of Samuel Beckett’s birth to all who celebrate
