There were petrol queues in September 2021

He’s become the job.
Very relatable.

Such a shame for them that Froggy was rejected by daddy Trump, rather than the other way round.

You hurt them with your pointy commas?

I just met a kitten called Sprout, so named because sprouts are the favourite vegetable of the little boy he lives with.

I hadn’t noticed the commercialism described here, but then I always spend the day at community events celebrating the achievements of women, so I guess I’m too busy to notice.

There’s nothing that kills a book more thoroughly than having to β€˜do’ it at school.

We could retire him; it’d be an act of mercy. To all of us.

Non-transactional reading is not encouraged at school. β€˜Literacy’ is seen entirely in terms of ability to decode. Pleasure doesn’t come into it.

This guy looks pretty young to me.
As a representative of β€˜older folk’, I detest the shit this whippersnapper is spreading

And describing it as β€˜a damning indictment of the impact of mass migration’ rather than as a deranged racist rant.

Trump says he won’t sign any other bills until the SAVE Act is passed, which requires voters to show proof of citizenship with expensive documents like passports.

Reminder: noncitizen voting is already illegal and incredibly rare. This is about voter suppression, plain and simple.

I was amazed you (and the entire world ) had never read this. But I’m of the age when everyone did.
Your enthusiasm has made me want to read it again (I still have it) So thanks, and love.

OMG
You have a book group?
Thoughts and prayers,

Awful though it is - phew!

And I do mean all of you. I could really have done without being informed of this by a male ally, on our day.

Sorry. I know. But it’s the β€œtoo much space” that’s the issue, for someone who just wants to do one thing.

You guys just can’t give us one day without your shit, can you?

Yes, that shows you how big it is. But then?

I really recommend the Image Size app.
Upload image, resize, save.

Trouble is, Photoshop is a huge, comprehensive editing programme. It’s great if you use it all the time but it’s not great for something as basic as resizing, unless you are familiar with with it :S

Ok. Fair enough

09.03.2026 23:00 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Ok. But I don’t see how that relates to the discussion, which was about manual vs non-manual work, and has been going for a while.

Eh?

β€œSlightly lower compression value” πŸ™„

You’re talking to someone who doesn’t use photoshop to do anything.
Like most of us.

Let me tell you something. Y’all are asking too many damn questions at every point of sale. I have to leave a comment, make a suggestion, donate to a charity, choose a method of payment three times and then multiple choice of ways to get a receipt.

Take the damn money and leave me alone.

Oh, you had to mention the burnet moth!
Now I’m conflicted.

The trilogy builds, and then there’s … everything else she’s ever written.

09.03.2026 22:41 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Exactly. Busy, busy.

He’s been going on a lot recently, about people walking around with no limbs. Nightmares?

I hope so
