It's 1991, and a republican president is embroiling us in a bullshit war in the Middle East.

The street that my mum lives in is a one-way street, but wasn't marked as such on #Google Maps. This caused many drivers to drive the wrong way. I have tried to edit it on Google Maps (there is such functionality), but to no avail. No matter how often I submitted a change (with photos of street signs!), Google said "Sorry, we could not verify it".

Solution: Edit the street on #OpenStreetMap! A few months after I did this, Google seems to have stolen the data, as it regularly does, and now the street is correct in both datasets!

Finally got that Despicable Me meme edited up and ready for when we need it next week (pretty sure I missed this week’s use).

OH MY GOD THERE IS MORE.

@MostlyHarmless Ooooo, that's gonna leave a mark.

@MostlyHarmless

Well it has been robbed by the British empire, and that act of robbing (and killing) was very British then…

@MostlyHarmless We looted those cultural heritage treasures in good faith. Did I say "looted"? I meant "curated".
@MostlyHarmless I like the British museum, but they really should divide everything in 2 big sections: stolen items and fake items.

@MostlyHarmless

Someone who with 65.5% of their fellow residents in Scotland identified themself as "Scottish" (neither "Scottish and British" nor "British") in the 2022 Census of Scotland.

Fact.

@MostlyHarmless Being british feels british but isn't.
Bloody beakermen coming over here with their pottery culture around 4,500 years ago. Don't they know we are british?
