"what's 'zing'?" "It's what you do with a zong."
It doesn't even say what the password requirements (password length, use of numbers, upper/lower case, special characters) are, so I don't even know *why* the passwords I keep trying to choose are unsuitable. A Kafkaesque bundle of 2020s computer shittiness. FFS
This client-side login system is making me want to hit things. My own company's policies are disorganised, poorly thought-out and riddled with cost-saving corner-cutting, but throw a client's own systems into the mix and it's BS multiplied by BS AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH
There’s a certain type of poster that seems to think it’s helpful to stamp out anything hopeful in the name of being realistic about how bad things are. Don’t be that poster. We know how bad things are. But for most of us, hope helps a lot more than your cynicism. Rebellions are built on hope…

Visiting one of the great props of all times!! The original… Can you name it?
...then there's that "radical kindness" that you mention, which is so much more constructive. Your anger can be, instead, the motivation to do positive things and improve the world around you. It's damned hard, and takes a lot of self-awareness and discipline, but I admire the people who show it
This is a beautiful and important thread. I see one type of anger all too often, especially online: a mean, spiteful sort of anger where people lash out blindly because they feel that being wronged in the past is a "get out of jail free card" to be a jerk in the present. Which is, o/c, misguided...

My earphones are an AKG on-ear model that are NC both in wired and wireless mode, but they've been discontinued. They're also nearly worn out at this point, so I'm going to have to start shopping around for replacements, which are likely to be over-ear. Thanks for the warning about the Sonys!
Looking fab! ✨ A perfect get-up for a nice civilised Sunday afternoon tea 🫖🍰

Anyway speaking of inciting violence this has me laughing too hard
I've found that you can also get some interesting results from using a VPN, depending on where you set your location to. For instance, I've had some Ireland-specific ads in QR episodes, which is pretty cool: Irish is a beautiful-sounding language that I don't usually hear in my day-to-day life!

These "Aviator" coffee beans from Cafeology taste delicious (they're one of my favourites) but damn, they're hard to grind in a hand-cranked coffee mill. It feels like a metaphor somehow: many of the nice things in life take a bit of extra time and effort
Lib Dems: We have 12x Reform's MPs, can we have the same coverage? BBC: But Reform has 2x your poll rating. If there were an election tomorrow, they'd be running the country. Lib Dems: So you're putting their people and policies under scrutiny, right? BBC: Lib Dems: Right?
I'm so sorry; I have no idea either, and I live here! Which kinda sums up the absurdity of it all

Agreed. I have an adapter for the earbud headset that I use for calls on my phone, but it feels worryingly flimsy. I have an MP3 player with proper noise-cancelling headphones for listening to music!

This may seem cute but if you do this too much the cyclists may become reliant on cars feeding them, disrupting the delicate roadway ecosystem

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.
Oh, my. That's beautiful 🤩
This is pure magic. Never a cover I'd have imagined would ever exist, but I'm so glad it does. This would make a great Scottish wedding tune. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JQX...

Reminder: The existence of these in most Scottish supermarkets and corner shops is proof that anyone shilling for the notion that multiculturalism can't work on this island is a charlatan
It's just one example of one guy's ignorant and unhelpful opinions, but it's also a symptom of the British ruling class and its inexplicable resentment of anyone who's young and/or educated. It's fucking exhausting and I'm sick of it
"Too often people go to university to ‘explore research and knowledge’." Yes, that's the whole point of them 🤦 “I want people to go to university…to start businesses in our country.” These clowns keep trying to blindly transpose USA-centric ideas into completely different countries and contexts
What the actual hell? Kyle is either 1. telling his intended audience what he thinks they want to hear, or 2. he genuinely believes this nonsense and doesn't understand what universities are for. He's either dishonest, or a bloody idiot. Either way: blimey 😐

Today I offer a reminder of the word ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted from too much work. To be ‘foreswunk’ (my own version) is to be exhausted before you even begin.

Tonight I was once again reminded that one of life's great joys is seeing a cool obscure band play live in a tiny venue 🎸🥁🎤

In 2010, sick of having their sign stolen, the residents of Shitterton bought a 1.5 tonne block of stone and had the name Shitterton carved into it.

I think one of the better, more subtle tributes to Robert Redford's life is the string of utterly iconic female co-stars who've come forward to eulogize him; each of them take-no-shit types like Fonda and Streisand, and every one of them without a single bad thing to say. A model for male behavior
The word in energy circles is that the UK passed a significant milestone yesterday: for one hour, Britain's entire domestic electricity demand was met entirely by clean sources.

⚡️ Ukraine ratifies historic 100-year partnership with UK. The treaty allocates at least 3.6 billion pounds ($4.9 billion) in annual military support for Ukraine per year until the fiscal year 2030/2031, "and thereafter as needed," the parliament said.
Your occasional reminder that Ursula K. Le Guin and Philip K. Dick were in the same year in the same high school, liked each other’s writing, but never met in person.
Very true. Yours has changed for the better, I hope...?

I love London so much. So much. Did you know that London has the lowest level of ethnic violence of any city of comparable size in the world? Multiculturalism has in fact worked here. They just don’t want it to be true because we happen to have a Muslim mayor.
I'm glad that you're well enough to be on your feet and back at work, but I hope that it's just a temporary blip rather than something serious. I also salute your commitment to looking cute during a medical emergency! ✨
Agreed. If you like Tom Cruise, you should watch Edge of Tomorrow because he's the hero in it. If you hate Tom Cruise, you should still watch Edge of Tomorrow because he dies repeatedly, and he gets his butt kicked by Emily Blunt. It's a win-win, honestly
Agreed. It was a really solid "book to action movie" effort that was very good at what it set out to do. The only thing I didn't like about it was the change of title to something so generic and forgettable. "All You Need Is Kill" sounds badass! No idea why they did that. But anyway. Fun flick!
this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

One thing that you can always count on at SLA weekends is this: every time, there's this one movie that I knew nothing about before going in, have no expectations for, but end up being very pleasantly surprised by. I can't wait to see which one of these it is this year
I'm a little sad that I can't stick around in Glasgow for long enough to see Angel's Egg, but I'm looking forward to Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust on the big screen. And Redline is gonna be a bit of a special occasion, what with the director being in attendance and all
