My sensitive wolf nose is twitching for the scent of management sociopathy.

Good to know that American Sign Language and Deutsche GebΓ€rdensprache use the same sign for "bullshit".

An early but pivotal technological milestone towards humanity's destiny of creating the Torment Nexus. Rejoice.

But paying how? The payment is where the bastards have got the stranglehold.

What if we took every one of those fandom callout docs listing kink artists that some odious little scrote doesn't like, and turned them into a BlueSky starter pack?

(This thought brought to you courtesy of some basement-dweller with a peculiar fixation on ABDL artists.)

Do you actually see the screenshotted text at the SS's prohibited-content document? I was unable to reproduce this from UK, German or (via VPN) US IP addresses. Also a little surprised by the use of quite such fandom-specific slang as "feral".

All my otter, badger, weasel, stoat, mink, wolverine and ferret friends insist on letting me know it's MarTen.

It's like they Must Tell A Day.

I don't know for sure, but I would bet at least half a pizza that that's an actual technique 0laffson has pulled from traditional rope-making crafts...

Not exactly sure what happened here, but are you okay? Hopefully the car too?

I will reserve my opinions on the moped rider, but I suppose it's valid to hope they won't be a long-term burden on the NHS.

Commiserations from the middle of a pile of used tissues. (Also I have a snotty nose.)

Oh hey, I can breathe semi-cleanly for the first time in five days. How nice.

Few things about being ill irritate me more than the way I lose my sense of thirst and have to manage everything consciously by the amount I drink and pee.

I dunno if I'm speaking for your gay friends here, but let's toss in the fact that our dear all-kind all-loving faggot-incinerating God inexplicably doesn't listen to gay kids crying in the night begging him to make them to be not gay. Forgive me if I sound a little bitter about this.

Those drawstring net bags from the supermarket veg section have revolutionised my packing and organisation when I'm on trips living out of a suitcase. One for socks, one for grundies, one for cables, one for hygiene. It's so TIDY.

I think I've spent that long just trying to make sense of the instructions.

There must be a special hell for people who use hPa and inHg in the same aviation weather report β€” or are they already in it? #america

People like to tell you a pigeon's body is filthy, but that ain't nothing compared to its mind.

On is to the right. Right-handed; left-to-right script. Kinsey 4; left amino chirality; liberal rapidly trending Trotskyite.

I've had to deal with them from the inside. I assure you the incompetence and ugliness goes all the way down.

I'm not saying you two *should* make a couple, I'm just saying that in the strictly hypothetical case that you did, it'd be super cute.

Vigorously.

I have neither knowledge nor great interest in whatever history underlies this, but I take comfort in one thing: clearly the conspiracists were right, we ARE ruled by lizards.

I've seen a Severn Bore that was a close competitor, but fortunately he showed little appetite for fielding quantitative challenges to Reform dogma.

Breaking news: a tsunami-level natural disaster has struck major population centres in western England. Please send thoughts and prayers. If you don't have thoughts of your own, AI generated is fine.

I'm keeping a little notebook of the names and physical descriptions of people at the flying club to try to reduce the chagrin of needing to ask for the fourth time what any given person's name is.

Because it contradicts the narrative invariant that you're slightly inadequate to the standards of effectiveness required of you and therefore owe a debt of work and competence which you have to pay off by working just a little harder before you have any moral right to ask for more.

At a guess.

Perhaps the world we're moving towards is one that parallels so many other industries, where the routine stuff is highly automated but quality work still requires a lot of artisans on the fringes.

Speaking as a trainee glider pilot, I'm green with envy at the ability to use orographic lift in such a finely-tuned and efficient way!

Since the lift is right there for any bird to use, I'd guess this behaviour could emerge anywhere rather than being culturally specific.

It is wonderful how long a dog's neck can become when there's food within a certain range of distances.
