The annoying thing about pervert glasses is that a glasses-mounted camera would be REALLY useful when I'm riding on the roads. Especially if it was bloody obvious that I was filming. But I refuse to buy pervert glasses.

I feel like there's a cohort of us who got on the internet before "social media" and made all sorts of healthy friendships through forums or livejournal or what have you and thus, while everyone's like SOCIAL MEDIA FUELS COMPARISON AND MISERY we're like, but that's just where my friends live.

Bluesky has decided the ship's WiFi is in Texas and therefore won't let me on, unless we're close enough to land for me to use my phone's data. Yay.

I was supposed to be going to Crete today but it's been cancelled. Our sister ship already in there is reporting that she's needing to use her thrusters to stay docked without breaking her mooring lines, so I think it's a good call. (I wish I could tell Nye about it.)

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

I went to the blue mosque and the basilica cistern and looked at the scaffolding on the Hagia Sofia. No sign of the donkeys. I assume they're taking a break while the scaffolding holds it up. (That will only make sense to @totalusrankium.bsky.social listeners.) Then I ordered lahmahcun in Turkish,

My train of thought is a Pacer.
A pacer train. In the 1980s, someone put a bus body on top of train wheels as an interim measure. Forty years later, those bastards won't die, even though they keep trying to commit suicide.

My pick- up service kept me waiting for thirty minutes, then I finally got put in a car that bears no relation to either I was told to expect, and is so uncomfortable I already have back pain. If you don't hear from me in an hour, call Istanbul police.

Good news: There's a new Aspire lounge, and it's much bigger than the old one. Bad news: It's still in the basement, doesn't have even the single window the old one had, and the food is just as bad, while somehow being even colder. I don't dare eat the ice cream.

Shout out to the time arrogant 19yo me was writing captions for a St Patrick's Day parade and put, "10yo Liam Delaney enjoying the crack," as a test for our new editor. She failed the test. And I failed to correct it to craic before it went to press.

Pals I see you sharing links to London Daily & need you to know it's AI bullshit. The Louise Michel is real, Banksy really funded it, but that started in 2020 & the LD link people are sharing is timestamped to today but written as if it's 2020 & elides all the actual journalism about it.
Screenshot reads as follows: 

Welcome to London Daily, an innovative and unique news experiment driven by advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

Our AI system conducts extensive research and fact-checking, presenting a non-biased and diverse perspective on each topic. It meticulously filters out biased or manipulated content, offering you factual summaries essential for your knowledge as an informed citizen.

Our aim is not to replace mainstream media but to provide you with succinct summaries of key headlines, encouraging you to explore these stories in greater depth through your favorite mainstream news sources.

As a privately funded, non-profit initiative, our mission is to provide a concise and comprehensive overview of current events as part of a broader project to enhance fact-checking and AI journalism for journalists and publishers worldwide.

We are building a tool that will help professional journalists and traditional mainstream news outlets enhance their news delivery, boost their readership, ease their workload, and lower their costs while increasing their productivity—all aimed at improving content reliability and readability.

Three panels from Touch of Cloth.
Panel 1, Jack asks 'so you're gay?'
Panel 2, Ann says 'bi, Jack'
Panel 3, Jack says 'No, don't go, it's none of my business'

As if I didn’t already associate Scott and Charlene’s wedding enough as it is with my own mortality.
NHS •

If you remember Scott and Charlene's Neighbours wedding, the NHS bowel cancer screening kit is especially for you.

If you're aged 50 to 74, the NHS will send you a free bowel cancer screening kit every two years. It only takes a few minutes to complete at home and could help detect bowel cancer before symptoms appear.

When your kit arrives, don't put it on the side and forget about it. Complete it and send it back. It could save your life.

So, THESE two characters who look similar are completely different people, despite both having blond beards and wearing suits. And THESE two characters who look similar are identical, even though they clearly have different haircuts and wear different clothing styles.

Eine schöne Bastel- und Malarbeit. Manchmal trägt Obelix den Hinkelstein. Manchmal ist Obelix der Hinkelstein. Dürfte nicht leicht gewesen sein, diesen Stein zu finden. #Asterix #Fanart
Das Bild zeigt einen kleinen, länglichen und nach oben abgerundeten Stein, dessen Form an einen Hinkelstein erinnert. Der Stein wurde rundherum so bemalt, dass er selbst zum Körper von Obelix wird.
Auf der Vorderseite sind Obelix’ Gesicht mit den roten Zöpfen, sein nackter Oberkörper sowie der grüne Gürtel mit großer gelber Schnalle zu sehen. Darunter setzt sich seine typische blau-weiß gestreifte Hose bis zum unteren Rand des Steins fort. Seine Füße stehen auf einer kleinen grünen Wiese, die mit roten Pilzen und Blumen verziert ist. Der obere, dunkelgraue Teil des Steins bleibt weitgehend unbemalt und wirkt dadurch wie ein Hinkelstein, der hinter Obelix aufragt.
Die Rückseite löst den kleinen optischen Scherz auf: Dort fehlen Kopf und Oberkörper völlig. Stattdessen sieht man nur Obelix’ Arme, die sich von beiden Seiten um den grauen Stein legen. Seine Hände greifen hinter dem „Hinkelstein“ ineinander. Darunter sind wiederum die gestreifte Hose und seine Füße auf der Wiese zu erkennen.
