Can someone on Bluesky reassure me that I'm not the only person who can't see a bottle of sweet chilli sauce without breaking into Guns n Roses.

(It's been a very long standing issue at home... And in supermarkets)

Best use of a Bluesky thread ever here by one of my local museums

I think it's a feature

Their reporting has been really good. My subscription just ended, I must renew that.

If someone made a browser extension that warned you when a retailer uses Evri I'd install that in a heartbeat.

It was very much like that

I just had a very unexpected innuendo laden encounter with a delivery guy after commenting on the unexpected size of the package he delivered 😲

Such a good book. I must reread it soon

My new favourite noise is the back and forth pecking between the two woodpeckers that have set up home in the trees outside my home office.

Language borrowed from the car crash that is Brexit. We're 9 years into the pain and even the lunatic euro-quitters seemed to have lowered the bar of 'the dream' to being slightly worse than we had before

Step 1 of these instructions to build a bench seems to be "1. build a bench"

Sorry Donald. We can't send you eggs. We're stockpiling them for your visit

I can't imagine there is any manual review though.

I don't use Spotify, but I wonder if there is a formal reporting process. Considering podcasts are effectively UGC there probably should be.

Makes sense. "This company is backed by a corrupt president" will give investors confidence.
Whether it lasts or not will depend on whether the stunt increases sales

I'm so disappointed that he didn't arrive in a horse and cart. A flatbed transit isn't the same

I'm currently waiting in for a rag'n'bone man to arrive. Apparently I'm now Dickensian.

It's that weird season in the UK where you walk down the street and pass two people in flip-flops and shorts followed immediately by one in a puffer jacket and a knitted beanie

Still in pain. Had a sneezing fit earlier and really didn't enjoy

Oh, the fun of being in your 50s. I somehow just managed to put my back out and send myself into writhing agony by operating a kitchen tap.

If anyone wants me I'll be laying on the living room floor

I've been staring at this for several minutes and I still can't think of anything to call them other than file paths

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.
