Being GenX/Millennial is such a trip. In our lifetimes, we saw people our age getting wild criminal penalties for pirating music and now have to sit and watch as companies gobble up our work with impunity.

Feel a lot of pride about the way Britain has responded to Trump's attacks on Ukraine, repeatedly launching big symbolic demonstrations of solidarity when things are at their most tenuous.

I think it's absolutely fantastic. It shows what an extraordinary country I live in and that refugees can fully integrate and participate in society

Ah yes, perhaps the most beloved literary trope of all: the classic McMuffin

A screenshot that reads: Moore throws in a Hitchcock-style McMuffin in the shape of a secret tape recording which will reveal just who has been betraying the gangsters.
The problem is that no-one has a machine on which to play it.

I had a flu jab the middle of last week, and then changed sensors into the flu jab arm a few days later.... And it is not a painless experience, does feel like I've been having an immune reaction to the sensor

From Chiswick Park to China As I waited for my train, planes kept crossing the sky above the station tower. So, I waited for a British Airways flight to pass the Underground roundel. Perfectly matching the red, blue and white of the tube logo.

I am not very worried about about the Tory Tapestry’s misuse of “doth”. What worries me much more is this sequence of panels which seems to show a small boat full of brown-skinned people followed by a plague of rats running riot and then a lot of dead white people labelled tax payers.

Detail from Conservative Party mock Bayeux Tapestry showing 1. A boat full of brown skinned people. 2. Enormous rats chasing cats. 3. White-skinned “tax payers” dead in the streets.

it is the #DayOfDredd, so as we hurtle, seemingly unstoppably, towards the kind of horrifying future that @2000ad.bsky.social has spent the last 5 decades warning us about, let’s look back at a better, absolutely in no way simpler, time when we weren’t scared of our RPGs having rules

How about a thread about a rather special train, the TMST (Trans Manche Super Train)? This was the project name for the high-speed train designed to link London, Paris and Brussels via the Channel Tunnel when it opened in 1994.

#LimeBikeWankers are making London streets impassable. This has caused tailbacks on three separate streets, all because some knobs leave their bikes on corners. Lorry driver is presently shifting 30 bikes by hand so he can turn the corner.

This feels like a scene from a 1980s comedy where a total loser gives himself a pep talk in his bedroom before going to high school where he gets shoved in a locker and everyone just laughs because he’s so sniveling.
