Remarkable juxtaposition
One person saying they have a bank of phones that randomly call people up to wish them a good day but nobody answers. 

The next post, unrelated is someone complaining that lots of random numbers keep calling them.

If you're trying to remember the spelling of these two guys' names, because you don't want to mix up a rock legend with a damp cultist, just remember: Brian with an 'aye' beats Bryan with a 'why?'.
Brain Johnson of ACDC on stage in Nevade this August, walking across the stage, singing into his microphone.Bryan Johnson in a taupe T-shirt, with a silver chain on his neck, looking damp as usual.

Two things to learn: The cloud is just someone else's pc and you don't control your data Never trust the generosity of capitalists, it's a trap. Literally "the first one is free" stories you were told about dealers when you were in school.

I've just watched twenty minutes of twenty guys playing football in a field. They were professional enough to have red and green bibs. But that's the pinnacle. International breaks for friendlies are rubbish.

Trying to have a conversation with a very offline person is confusing.
A text conversation. 

Other person says, "And also our window cleaner scratched our lovely windows so we’ve got to cancel him and potentially clean the windows ourselves too 🥲"

To which my poisoned brain replies "Oh no. Cancel him like he's going to have to get a column in the telegraph and go on a national book tour talking about eugenics?"

Haha. The government has spunked all its cash on Ai, which obviously has given them nothing useful, so the DWP of all people, are having to get year 9 children to pitch ideas to the state, for free.

I wonder if you could train piss drinkers like you can sommeliers. Could they tell if your diet was out of kilter? Could they be used to diagnose illnesses early because the bouquet of your piss was a a bit off? Is asparagus wee a niche branch, or a special treat?

Is it because nobody likes bootlickers and Celtic are just morally better?
A screenshot from YouTube, the channel Pointy Hat is asking the question, "Why are Rangers SO HATED in D&D?".  There's also a quite ominous looking drawing of a pointy wizard's hat with oner big eye and ranger dressed in green looking a bit like Zelda from the Zelda games, but both are really eerily lit from below like they're about to tell a ghost story with a torch under their chin.

Good lord, just look at him. Also listen to Fascination Street. And that hair. Absolute god tier.
Simon Gallup from the cure, probably circa late 80s.  He's a very white man with absolutely enormous back combed black hair, heavy black eyeliner, a loose dark grey jacket and a black shirt.  From his waist at the bottom of the frame is the top of a bass guitar body.

I was re-reading a book the other day and someone was eating slices of pineapple, drenched in lime, dusted in cayenne pepper. Which sounded horrible. So i thought I'd find out.

How weird that the BBC just keeps putting out dramas with totally inappropriate relationships where people are going out with their direct boss. Is this entirely because that's normal at the BBC? Because it's not in real life.
