Could we build a decoy migrant hotel over some big pit and just fill it in afterwards?

β€œNo, but in the last Jedi Princess Leia was all frosty so space is cold” yes and she also used space magic to get herself to safety so perhaps don’t use this as scientific reference.

I’ve said this before it’s a child’s understanding of space, or people who have only seen space in films and think β€œspace is cold so you don’t need to cool stuff, in films people get frozen in space” and because we got rid of specialised journalists the ones left think this is how it works as well

Our cat Roxie has been asserting her territory in our back garden against two other local cats, however this often involves legging it into the house for me or Iona to go outside to back her up as she is quite a bit smaller than said cats.

We also have a baseplate for bullhead rail and some train parts (a buffer end, some leaf springs suspension and some form of wheel) there were other things that I think were couplers but I wasn't sure

I remember Blair’s fairwell tour where he desperately tried to make his legacy anything other than dragging us into an illegal war that destabilised the Middle East and killed a lot of people. While he made bank on this he is also petty enough to care that his entire legacy was destroyed by that

If it’s any consolation I’m such a deep sleeper my can has realised there is no-way to check as bites an paws to the face do nothing. She does know I usually wake up on the 3rd alarm and that is when to demand food

Join Mit'Tens as we continue the Defiri arc. This time we simulate a cheap episode by only doing medical diagnosis and negotiation. Like the actual TV series. youtu.be/PKRGd-ujkIU

I mean, I reckon β€œI’m on the Fascist CSAM generating site for the sports results I can get in a million different places” is definitely worse but it is a natural progression.

Wasn’t that the excuse for buying the Sun for many years. β€œNah I’m not in it for the tits and racism but the sports coverage is excellent”

Brilliant, will definitely take a look at that. My MIL just offloaded a load of yarn at us (mainly for Freya who is doing some sort of weaving) which I do plan to steal.

Bloody hells. I’d ask if you are ok but only with the caveat of aside from the whole bleeding out thing.

I did, it was to stop me scrolling Bluesky or instagram while half watching TV and it occupies the hands and whatever bit of my brain needs occupied and at the end I have a thing. Trying another penguin but after that I’m going to look for other patterns

So in an attempt to find something better to do than doomscrolling I decided to try to learn how to crochet via one of those kits. A bit wonky but I made a thing.

Is this where we realise the low levels of modern media literacy come from being able to see boobs on the internet instead of French experimental cinema?

I was on a train from Manchester last week and it passed through places called Hag Field and Honey hill or something similar. I’ve lived in the UK my whole life and I refuse to believe these places actually exist.
