@georgetakei Couldn't they find anything better than that ugly old paedophile to represent 250 years of the USA?

@rgarner Hadn't noticed this either until I was using a pen to mark which bag held a steak slice and which a sausage and bean one. Fiendishly clever!
My OH told me that he'd eaten the "big, square sausage roll" which was actually the steak slice. Now I'm wondering why it didn't taste of steak.

@stux The mice have come in from the cold. When they realise that there are cats in the house they'll probably leave.

I dread updates on my Android phone. The latest one installed Gemini and hijacked the power switch to turn the bloody thing on. Apparently "Fuck off, Gemini!" isn't a command it understands.
After a bit of research I've managed to reclaim the power switch and disable the unwanted AI.
Surely updates should make your phone work better not worse.

@cstross @rikiwilchins.bsky.social @quixoticgeek Didn't he once refer to all the dead military personnel in Arlington cemetery as "Losers."?

@georgetakei If he gets the medal and writes DJT on it in Sharpie it still won't be his.

@MsMissy I'm not so sure. They've put his name on a memorial building, so he should be dead.

@rgarner You still write cheques? I haven't done that in an age - I'm sure I still have a chequebook but I don't know where it is.

@ainmosni @deathkitten I block ads online and we watch recorded TV to fast forward through them. I hate YT where you have to sit through some ads before you can skip - all advertisers go on my black list and I won't buy from them. I'm old - when TV ads came on we used the wasted time to make a cup of tea or go to the loo!

@stux The USA should be abolished and government returned to the individual states to better represent their people. Then you could fire the President as he'd have no further function.
