Yes I did just read about that case. No I don’t think this is a solve and I’m not trying to remove culpability. It just reminded me of so many situations and stories from my own heavy drinking days that would’ve been less awful if we’d had this kind of moral reflex instilled in us while sober.

It used to be so common to drink and drive and in a couple of generations we massively reduced that. We don’t have police in our cars, we made the case and convinced the public of the dangers. Now it’s very taboo to even consider it. We should do that with sex and booze.

As a culture can we just agree to a two drink maximum before sex is off the table? In a culturally enforced way, like how we would stop a friend from drinking and driving?

If enough diagnosed people with ADHD tell you that you have ADHD then that should count as a diagnosis, imo.

Today I learned that “Greased Lightning” was an early 19th century neologism and now I need a Regency period Grease remake. The more I think about it the more it works.

It feels like there are many ways around that issue of only the council could be arsed. Oh, local government. Such a well oiled machine.

Yeah, that's a particularly good one. I have no idea who threw wheelie bins in there or why but I approve.

Spoiler: the answer is capitalism! And sand. Also this is my home town, which is lovely except for the many steadily-deepening dips in the roads which may or may not open a passage to hell at any moment. We try not to think too hard about them.

Why are there so many sinkholes in Prestwich?
The town has been plagued by sinkholes over recent years, with the latest opening just last week

It is my birthday. I am 44. I’m celebrating in my own way. My mother approves.
A very fresh tattoo amongst older ink on a white woman’s inner elbow. It says Hag Life in black capital lettersThree messages. Message one says “Not sure what Hag Life is but otherwise very artistic!” Message two says “It means I’m embracing the hag life. It is time. I will be moving to a shack in a swap and selling curses. Personal grooming? Out. Cathartic cackling? In.” Message three says “Can I buy in bulk?”

I feel like fishknife is more obscure and whimsy is more mass appeal

Vegan here and couldn’t agree more. But I definitely know meat eaters who don’t think something is food unless it’s got some form of carcass in it, so I guess the supermarkets feel like they have to pander

Absolutely. Doing things for others is healing. I hope you find some similar minded folks close by! Don’t get me wrong, we definitely also have people here who are insular and disinterested

One of the things I love about where I live is that people do give a shit about the community and there are lots of groups doing good work - litter picking, planting flowers, feeding the homeless, providing social spaces for folks isolated by mental illness. I need to get back into volunteering 🤔

Completed my first freelance TTRPG layout job! 🎉🎉🎉 Thanks to @nickmunroturner.bsky.social for entrusting me with this. I'm particularly proud of my hand drawn character sheet 🐙 You can hire me to do your layout too! I have examples and pricing info on my site: www.buttonkin.com/services/layout

It is August 2026 and I still have little to no AI slop in my Instagram feed. Not one high-definition UFO encounter. Not a single pregnant lemon. Why am I being deprived my portion of slop? Can anyone tell me?

I don’t wish my dog could talk because I know in my soul she has a deeply cringey term of endearment she uses exclusively for me.

I know that the lore is a mess but it just seems like it should be possible to make a Mortal Kombat film that makes the slightest little bit of sense.
