How to get to know your neighbourhood | Psyche Guides Whether you are a newcomer or you’ve lived there for years, learn to look closer and deepen your connection

"Even in a neighbourhood you think you already know, you can learn completely new things."

Stay in the know, but remember to practice self care and touch grass and seek laughter and whatnot.

Somebody earlier said the day kept snagging on things. Nothing big, just bumps.

Got me thinking about the rain working the streets outside here. Funny thing about roads and rain…

You don’t gotta solve the road.
Just stay in your lane, keep the motor humming.

The miles’ll sort themselves out.

I love this and I want some more people to see it. Nothing more.

I'm nearly a day late to the party but this is a good one 🔥

Flew to Turkey today on holiday (don't burgle me). Was joyous being 30,000ft away from this planet for a few hours.

Just did this to my own kids 😂

They don’t ask where you’ve been.
They don’t ask why you’re quiet.

They just drive slow through streets that remember.

I was on my way to London on 9/11 to watch AAF when we heard the news. The show still went ahead, we were shocked and powerless, drinking to forget. The following week there was a closeup photo of me in Kerrang magazine, being pulled down from crowdsurfing by security. The world changed that day.

Mayyyybe, if capped at a small amount (10-15%), and on condition that you used sustainable transport. Would minimise pisstakers, promote regional identity and make travel by road much nicer for those who chose to take the hit. Or, you achieve similar by paying a bonus to people who walk/cycle/bus?

sure, the revolution will not be televised but I guarantee some fuckhead will be filming it on his phone

The meme of the man in the nightclub shouting in the bored-looking woman's ear

Couldn't resist, sorry 😅

Me too - is that where "precocious" comes from, as in sassy?

they say you are over the hill bc as you approach middle age, you stand atop that hill, a great vantage point from which to survey the low-lying territory that is your elder years, and then against your better judgement you begin to walk down, a brave adventurer, into the onslaught you will not win

Oh yeah, it's alright for these buggers, they get to leave the planet for ten days!

This is, and probably always will be, the best story ever told on social media:

Trying to sell/buy our house at the moment, where everything needs to have happened yesterday and everybody wants in, but all you want to think about is your family's future happiness. This resonated with me.

I have a friend who grew up there. He and his old school friends, in that disparaging way that people like to talk about their hometowns, call it "the 'Nam", like they are US Army veterans comparing notes about the things they witnessed.

Reading the other replies, how about "the mortar can hold water"?

The 4 panel Drake meme, but Drake is now Richie (from the Bottom Christmas Special "Holy") who's wearing a blue towel over his head. In the top left panel, he's holding his hand up - revealing one of his fingers has been stapled on at a shonky angle - as he turns away from the image of gold, frankincense and myrrh in the top right panel. He's all smiles in the bottom left panel as he points at the image of (Terry's All) Gold, Frankenstein (mask) and Grr in the bottom right panel. Merry bloody Christmas, Richie!

The holy trinity

New Telegraph columnist just dropped.

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe includes a calendar that goes all the way to the year 3000. Ironically, this reaches much further than typical modern computer and smartphone calendars. As such, even now Super Mario Bros. Deluxe remains a good option to keep track of far future dates.

Things You Can Make ChatGPT Write for You - Hayley DeRoche Your last words But before them What to murmur to a lover in bed What to say in the group chat when someone's Sister mother brother is dead and The apology you could never quite get right for a friend And hell why not make the robot compose your proposal Your wedding toast, too Your best friend's birthday roast You could ask it to write a custom lullaby For the baby snuffling at your breast. You can cradle to grave away Every warm human word You could ever have said And when they chisel your gravestone For your final rest We can ask ChatGPT Because it knew you best

Love it 🙌

A Prehistory of Scientific Racism The author of “Whiteness” traces the evolution of race as a social and political instrument, from its beginnings in ancient hierarchies through European colonial expansion and into contemporary times.

"Efforts to maintain white supremacist racial formations were increasingly couched in scientific language throughout the 18th century."
