I believe this Yoga pose is called "puddle"; is that right @blackpandacult.bsky.social?

I do so hate it when Lego instructions get complicated.

An instruction in a Lego model book that demands a single adobe coloured tile. It does not depict any action required; just that the tile exists.

See that? It's a warning about just one of the many perils of allowing oneself to fall into alcoholism. £352 of CapitalOne's money to repair (OLED touchscreen). What impressed me about the experience was DHL. Devon to Chechia, and then Chechia back to Devon? Less than 24h each way. Credit where due.

See this? This is possibly the most overnamed bird in the world. It's called the "Great Shrike-Tyrant".

This week I am cat sitting for a friend down the road. Mog is 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥. This is my current view. It has been since I came home, apart from five minutes when I fed her.

See that? That's light from the next door neighbour's house. They've broken the wall in my room. This is 𝗺𝘆 space. I am not a happy bunny. In fact, now would be a really bad time to meet the neighbour.

"The Secret Pilgrim" is when LeCarré used the opportunity of Smiley's fame to do a bit of short story writing. This is BBC R4's version of my favourite. (Please forgive the brutal edit at the start; I had to cut it down to less than 10nminutes.) cc @wulfhelm.bsky.social; 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 is how to do Smiley.

I may do at some point; for now I'm leaving it in place purely for access fault tolerance. Also, the cat is currently ignoring me.

A certain black furry thing has taken to "assisting" me with taking my BP in the morning, so this morning I decided to donit first before lwtting her into the house. I guess she heard me, because I heard the catflap go a few seconds later.

@ladyfluffyorca.bsky.social and @blackpandacult.bsky.social, apparently, and despite your shared colouration, you guys diverged ~76 million years ago, according to The Science. Glad Wülferhampton could bring you back together.

See that white thing? That's UPS we bought for the DVR a couple of weeks ago; random but frequent power cuts kept killing off recordings. Some of them were Repair Shop, which was fine, but it screwed with the cricket, too. So, £50 later, UPS in place. Not a single fucking 𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘵 of a power cut since.

The email this prompted me to send to the FT.

Dear Sirs,

You have gained a reputation for conducting fair, balanced, well researched journalism. You are also the most expensive daily subscription paper by far. I appreciate this is due to your target audience being able to write off their subscriptions against tax, and I appreciate you offer discounts to students and access via institutional subscriptions.

This still makes your fair, unbiased reporting completely inaccessible to low income households. A web search suggests you add ~250 articles a day, but few people are able or inclined to read that many.

Why not let us pay for a fixed number of articles per month? For £10 I get 5 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘵 editions of Private Eye delivered to my door. Even without the humour, that's a cost I can justify for the journalistic content alone. Why can't I, and people like me, pay you £10 for online access to something like 50 articles, of our choosing, per month?

I actively want to give you money to read your content, but you've priced me out of the market.

Anyway, I don't actually expect you to care. It's just frustrating when someone like Baron Prem Sikka shares one of your articles and I have no way to read it.

Regards,

Phil Hare
