A few years ago, at least twice a week someone posted the rotating, extending wooden table gif to the fediverse, because they saw it for the first time and were fascinated by it. It became a bit annoying, but it has recently disappeared from the fediverse, it seems. I kinda miss being annoyed by it. So. Here it is again :)

Originally known as a Jupe table, named after the inventor Robert Jupe, who patented it in 1835.

This is the Fletcher Capstan table: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyZYQ_rhBPs

Love this new sign on the Clyde Walkway, but it definitely falls into the Keep Glasgow Weird category. It's one of a number of signs inspired by Science Fiction movies around the city's Science Centre created by A Sign of Humour.

PC - Hi, morning! Glad you’re here! I’m going to start doing some updates now.

Me - No, I have a Zoom call.

PC - Right after I do these updates.

Me - No, it’s starting now.

PC - I think you’ll find that it isn’t.

In Basel they've changed some of the green traffic lights to women footballers for the Euros ⚽

I just spent the evening with one of my friends from teenage years. We see each other once in a blue moon, last time we hung out was about a year ago. And seeing her was so life-giving, fun and comfortable. We talked about friendship and authentic selves and remembered how much we love catching up. She is so badass and wise and together. What a day ❤️

@hedders I'd love to fit external shutters like they have on the continent. The amount of heat that blasts through the glass is insane! Our house basically stays cool until the afternoon when Mr Sunrays spaffs full force onto the front.

Perhaps if things keep going this way I will actually do it.
