The Poet Laureate of the UK is famous for his translation of St Gawain and the Green Knight, and Kym once got up on stage, looked him straight in the eye, and then performed this.
Unsurprisingly enough, every time they've encountered each other since, he's remembered them.
A conversation I have had at work more than once:
Parents of small children: We would like to make our wills.
Me: Great! Who do you want to be the children's guardian?
Parents of small children: ...Ooh, we hadn't thought about that.
A white cat mascot with a red and blue-striped torso and yellow headgear with an “M” on it shrugs on a stage.
Miyaneko, a white cat whose ears make an “M”, is the mascot for Miyazaki City. His special skills are dancing and overreacting.
The source seems to be a guy who writes for Spiked and Unherd, two sources on my "don't even bother clicking" list.
It's 7:37 in Ireland which means it's time for you to go to bed!
I mean this is the most church counselor way of putting it, but intelligence by itself is nearly worthless. wisdom and prudence and discernment are necessary qualities for intelligence to be useful. innumerable religious scriptures have tried to explain this but yr tech bros aren't big on books
...I thought about this and realised the only songs I know about Canadian cities are about how much those cities suck, which feels very Canadian somehow?
Shoutout to my fellow lower case ‘r’ republicans. Big day for people who don’t think you can be better than anyone else by birth.

I think I've watched this five times already. "Did I tell you that I'm married? To the leader of my cuuuult! It is not a happy marriage. :|"
I need you to know about Nyaight of the Living Cat, the anime about a virus that turns humans into cats if they are licked by a cat. the MC is a guy who really loves cats and he is not having a good time. he can't rub their bellies! he has to use the spray bottle on them! it's his personal hell ;_;
(also I feel so bad for the lawyer in this scene! when you're in the grey area where it's not clear whether or not a crime has been committed, that's exactly when clients want you to be definite and you just. can't. can't give them what they want but also can't tell them it's impossible. urgh!)
Sheen aside, this is a good example of a microgenre ITV does particularly well: drama based on a strange true story where the mundanity/normality of the people is part of the point. See also Mr Bates Vs The Post Office, The Lost Honour of Christopher Jeffries.
he's not loud enough, I guess? Man, I didn't realise I had opinions about Chris Tarrant, but I was watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire around this time (not the actual Ingram episodes) and Tarrant had a very dominant aura that Sheen doesn't seem to be trying for here.
Watching Quiz on Netflix and it's pretty good but for once I'm not super impressed by Michael Sheen! The real Chris Tarrant is a much larger personality, and while Sheen has the cadences of his speech basically right, there should be about 50% more energy in everything he says.
so much clothing is marketed as "conversation starters" but as an introvert, i want "conversation enders." no more talking. let me go home.
this may be the most English man ever to exist.
a traffic light pole with stickers on it, in particular three stickers that say "32 counties, 69 genders, no fascists". the lower two stickers have been defaced but the last one is up too high.
someone figured out exactly how tall the local fascist is by process of elimination
whyyyyyy can't people mind their own business?!
Everyone Else Burns is now on Netflix UK & Ireland! I can't recommend it highly enough. It's one of the funniest shows I've seen in the past five years and also a genuinely moving and sharp portrait of a family in an extremist sect starting to break free of its influence.
God I love immigration. Ireland is so much more interesting than it used to be. #speirgorm
Panel 1: A tech bro strides across a stage. The word “PeoplBOTS” is in huge letters behind him. He says: “Our journey began with a simple question:” Panel 2 “Can we create a robot that is enormously powerful, but also completely safe?” Panel 3 “The answer to that question was 'No'.” A huge red armoured metal robot trundles across the stage belching smoke. It has a flamethrower for one arm and large shears for the other. Its eyes glow meanly red. Tech bro announces “So I give you: Dangerbot900!!”

James Frey, it's your time to shine!
guys i am so tired of logging in
(also a hot guy follows you around and badgers you into taking care of yourself, that part is important too)
and now I'm watching Isekai Office Worker, where the fantasy is: what if you did the exact same job as before but you were better paid and respected and had good work-life balance and a magical cure for your indigestion?
Vivid orange and yellow sunset. There's a creek running diagonally from lower right corner up to the middle left of the photo--mostly the water is out of sight below the bank, but there's a patch of water reflecting the sunset just in the middle of the photo. Trees across the horizon below the sunset color, and also to the right and left of the photo. There's a triangle of snow in the lower left; it's tinted pink by the reflection of the sunset.
The evening walk. I missed the best color, which happened while I was driving to the trail & Argyll doesn't have the right digits to operate the phone camera.

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.

I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"
