Old joke dept: Deed poll office. "Hello, I'd like to change my name, please" "What's your current name?" "Hitler Mussolini Simeon Flores" "Oof, I don't blame you. What do you want to change it to?" "Hitler Mussolini Rodriguez Flores."

I'll never forget the question being asked to the speed awareness course I was in. "In a 20 zone, what speed are you legally allowed to drive?" The answers came through "26?" "22?" "It depends on the time of day I heard..." Then the answer came. "20. It's 20mph in a 20 zone" Obvious really.

Don't know who he is but I have to believe it's rage bait. However, there have always been dickhead dads so maybe not.

A few people debating the Nazi Bar analogy, but I'd just like to point out describing a shul as a Nazi Bar is rancid antisemitism in itself.

Me today.... So glad the weekend is almost here 🫩 Etruscan amber pendant in the shape of a monkey, height 4.7 cm. Found in Vetulonia, Italy, dating late 8th/early 7th century BC. 📷 Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici della Toscana
Small translucent amber figurine carved in the shape of a squatting monkey. The figure has a detailed face with expressive eyes and rests its chin on its hands, appearing thoughtful. It sits atop a rectangular platform supported by four rounded, balloon-like legs.

Ed's got a new party trick of saying the name of the interviewer stopping him as he walks past. Did it with some influencer in NYC the other day too.

Paddling (canoeing) across Windermere today, into the teeth of a pretty stiff Force 3 wind - lumpy, and just this side of whitecaps - I came across a swimming squirrel, looking very stressed. Not a planned swim, I'm guessing. It was 300m to either shore, so I'm not sure s/he was going to be okay.

I don't know how you all do it. There's something in the news which is really relevant to me and my opinion on it comes from personal experience, but I'm fucked if I'm weighing in on it. Even one disagreement would ruin my day.

Does anyone know why if you ask a smart speaker to play an incredibly famous song it will select a cover version by some twat you've never heard of? Or a live recording from the original artist but when they were 65 and had a voice like broken glass?

For one of my history essays I printed out a section from an encyclopedia CD ROM (this was 1995/96), tipp-exed out the references to other articles and photocopied it. Handed it in and got a C.

What's the word for when you ask a specific question to understand something and the person you're asking gets confused and replies with their own series of oblique questions which you can't answer because the answer to the question you asked in the first place was the missing piece of the jigsaw?

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

Thinking about polls. They're very interesting but I'm concerned about the idea that some alarmingly authoritarian ideas might be very popular. I don't know where the line is between being a, what, majority fundamentalist or a patrician is and what the best way forward is.
