Was going to suggest these. And they are being republished in gorgeous (if pricey) new editions.

Culvers sells an anthropomorphic plush fried cheese curd. Just an fyi.

This reminds me of the time in my early teens that a female friend told me about leg waxing and I flatly refused to believe it. An obvious falsehood. Who would ever?

As a US expat in the UK, I particularly like that gasoline is sold in litres and distance on motorway signs is given in miles. Rods to the hogshead indeed.

Macclesfield used to have a pub called the Old Ship Inn. On one side, the sign had a 3 mast ye olde ship and on the other the Enterprise orbiting a planet.

Just got word: it looks like he isn't going to make it through the day. The time is *now*. Please. They've been the light of his life.

Had no idea how much I’d love Lucy’s outtakes.

Interesting. I run into this all the time in the UK but never considered it light be accent related. I chalked it up to a radically different (i.e. nearly nonexistent) customer service culture.

I keep thinking about this and just getting more and more upset. lol. This was the first Bond I saw at the theatre. I was 12 and had braces of my own. There were braces.

What the fuck. Why are they doing time travel for this stuff instead of using whichever Drumpf grandparent to beat baby Hitler?

Put the hoverbin back on the hoverbarn.

A lot of fun. Somehow manages to be both ridiculous and grounded.

Amongst my books are such volumes as…

I love that for the reissues he redid the covers. Same style/ lighting etc. He's just older.

Otoh, I also only get about 2-3 mosquito bites a year now vs desanguination in Wisconsin.

Jonathan Cook @jonathancook.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

One of the things I really miss living in Cheshire and having grown up in Wisconsin. Maybe 2-3 strikes a year vs dozens in a single big storm.

Pinholes in the plastic bags to let the air out vastly increases the number of bags that will fit. And a cheap jacket with large pockets is neither a carry on nor a personal item yet contains multitudes.

This was the story of Madison in the 70s and 80s as well. Part-time minimum wage work could take care of keeping you alive and you had plenty of time left over to do your weird art. I miss it.

Hilariously, BlueSky has suspended my chat access when I think the only chat I have ever sent is the word “Yes” to a friend’s account.

FYI you’ve tagged the wrong Jonathan Cook. You want @jonathan-cook.bsky.social.

It's much harder to get a trademark in a term that is descriptive.

There's something "Judith Beheading Holofernes" about this.

This post convinced me to try it and it arrived doa. Apparently they are having quality control problems. The replacement arrives today. Here’s hoping!

They finally made a green-eyed monster.

There should really be a picture of the Norske Nook for this one.

Actually that might. Thinking about it, most of my trouble has come from old but expensive apps that I use and didn’t want to pay to replace. There is some weirdness with localisation since I go back and forth a lot.

I had this same issue in reverse and eventually decided to run 2 IDs in parallel. DO NOT DO THIS! It has been a huge pain.

Dropped a wine glass and reflexively tried to catch it. It shattered against the counter and I was sliced deep on the wrist. Frantic trip to ER and stitches.

The absolute worst sort of fan “service”.

There was a bagel shop in Noe Valley, SF that offered bacon flavoured bagels. That always weirded me out.
