Lightweight nonsense toots, often tinged with 80s-flavoured music & #GenX nostalgia, retro computing, and more modern electronics.

Today I witnessed an ambulance officer picking up a bloke named Michael Jackson unable to resist doing an obvious joke, and Michael Jackson refusing to play along, pretending he didn’t understand what the joke was.

We need a new word for something beyond awkward.

Did an AI write this?

We've had this long furling tape from Japan for the longest time, for years!! thinking it was in inches. Causing us lots of mistakes and fuck ups, the whole time we thought it was our own miscalculations, that we must have messed up in converting it to metric or something.

1) The unit on the tape is in tenth of a foot.
2) That's almost exactly 3cm, BUT NOT QUITE.
3) The ruler says FEET, but then breaks it down in 3cm segments each divided in tenth of a tenth of foot.

WHAT THE FUCK RULER

"I'm not saying another word without my lawyer present"

"Sir, you are a lawyer"

"So where's my present?"

@NanoRaptor I was in the supermarket trying to reach some cheesecakes that were really high up and I couldn't make it. Some kind scandinavian lifted me onto his shoulders so I could reach then we went down the isle getting the top shelf cakes we needed.
I asked him his name but he said he didn't know

And that was when I realised I was riding through desserts on a norse with no name

Right in the middle of a rainy moment, a tiny bird becomes the star of something truly magical—a perfect water droplet lands on its head, forming a crown-like splash that feels almost unreal. The timing is flawless, capturing a split second where nature turns playful.
The photo was taken by Lee Schofer and posted by his partner, Kate Weyer, on her Facebook.

Cool cool nothing to see here, just yet another attempt to murder Jewish people in the UK, just for being Jewish. FFS people.

Lovely mosaic on the wall leading up to the west entrance at London Bridge station.
