Punished Cat Guy (extra punished Cenobite version) @majima.club · 2h
Intrusive thoughts like:
an orange tabby cat with a white bib sitting loafed up in a crocheted cat bed looking comfy and content, maybe even smiling a little. Behind her, the ears and eyes of a tiny orange tabby cat that could be her twin are visible peeping over the edge of the bed as he considers pouncing on her.

Instead of Harry Potter everyone should read The Power Broker. And instead of going "which house am I in" go "how many parks would Robert Moses make for me given my race, class, and general personality"

Got a voicemail from a spam call that, in the way of these things, cuts in midway through the message because they don't understand how answerphones work. This one said "... To hear in English, press 1. To hear in Chinese, press 2. [long message in Chinese, presumably repeating the entire thing]"

Since the beginning of 2024, I have had to replace my washing machine, fridge freezer, microwave, and now cooker. Everyone pray for me that I'm done now, that's all of them.

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

I am fully in my dvd extras era right now. I've spent the last few weeks rewatching Red Dwarf and all the commentaries and special features, and the only way to follow that up was to start in the LOTR extras. We didn't know how good we had it in the 2000s

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes
A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

How late does your friend have to be meeting you at a cafe for you to order without them? Asking for a me. (they have a toddler, so I'm not mad, just hungry. And they're out of oat milk so I can't order hot chocolate whilst I wait, which is what I was going to do)

Started doing this, realised all my answers were dull expect this: I learnt to whistle twice. First, as kid, someone told me whistling was unladylike, so I made a point to learn. As a teen, I had braces and they changed the shape of my face so much, I had to learn again.

Fun times. Having occasional pain in my elbow over the past few months. Playing up today, and Doctor Google says probably it's tennis elbow caused by using a computer mouse. The primary treatment is rest which means I may have entered my ergonomic mouse era...

Hot Take: We should spend less time engaging with "British food is bad" commentary as if it's a good faith argument, and more time just pointing out that it's just a way to push the racist view that you have to be a pasty gammon colour to be British.

I don't... Why. Leaving aside the joy of record shops. Leaving aside the claude of it all. If I'm buying something on vinyl I already know I like it. I'm not *discovering* music on vinyl, there's way cheaper ways to find new music. Why don't you have your own opinions already?

Always frustrating to forget your parking ticket in the car and have to go down several floors to get it and go up again to pay. Even more frustrating when you do that when you are at an event that will result in massive queues to leave the car park, and now you're at the back of it

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

A poster at Kings Cross station, featuring the bit of the Bayeux Tapestry that depicts King Harold (or some other knight, I won’t get into the academic debate here) with an arrow in his eye. The slogan reads “Something in your eye? We can help treat it in store” and “Should’ve goneth to Specsavers”.

Woke up this morning to find the pump on the cats' water fountain had failed. Annoying as I only bought it at the end of January. But fair play to their customer services, I emailed them this morning, and within an hour they had confirmed a replacement would be shipped today
