Really enjoyed Susan Calman's standup this evening. Highly recommended and, well, just good fun. She knows her audience :)

Come back, Lucy. Late 1970s, UK children's TV (ITV, I think). The titles where Lucy has no face gave young me quite the creeps.
Still from "Come back Lucy", a late 1970s UK children's show about a girl who has a very dangerous mirror. Here we see her reflection in the mirror, but the actual girl has no face.

Really enjoying The Comedy Bureau - learning about comedy is unsurprisingly fun! I'm doing it just through my ears, but this is also on YouTube. If you'd missed it, like I had, give it a look. Episode webpage: www.youtube.com/@The.Comedy.... Media file: episodes.captivate.fm/episode/00af...

I am truly torn here. #Halite is just so good and useful and not thought about as much as it deserves... But #cuprite is so pretty and interesting.

Yes...it's largely traveling by footpath, which is odd. It's definitely not using proper roads

I only know the bits by me, but there is a really random one that I'm pretty sure doesn't exist going from lepe to calshot before driving into the sea via a country house (Cadland Estate). (Very South coast, south of Southampton, west side of Southampton water)

Nice shot. And really interesting road with cool angles/perspectives.

@smolrobots.bsky.social I get a little joy every time I run a tutorial and know my students will get to use these delightful bots. Thanks again for your artistry and for being you.

So glad I'm not the only one to actively tell myself what my partner is wearing and what to look for! (But just the aphantasia here, afaik, even if I do listen to "it's a superpower?!")

Oh no! I know he'd mentioned he was considering it. Sad to hear it's properly ending. Such an amazing back catalogue, though.

Oh wow! I've missed this. (Still a bit narked that bravo two Charlies wasn't, to my knowledge, broadcast outside of Wales - would've thrived, I think, on R4)

I'm ridiculously slow and almost always need a hint or three... But it's still one of my favourite daily games. Heartily recommended to all

Quartz has been a vital resource for human civilization for a couple of thousand years. Longer if you include cryptocrystalline varieties of SiO2 (cutting tools). Asagiite is like what? 4 years old? It can afford to wait a few years. Vote quartz. #mincup26

Just checked into a premier inn... Windows open and two fans blowing on max with heavy air freshener in the air... Probably not a good sign.

Maybe. But it again echoes: to combat bad guys with guns/glasses we just need more good guys with guns/glasses. I'm not as optimistic that this is the wise way forwards... It also would reward the creators of the glasses who profit from them.

The Australians did get it right, too. This is mainly a USA problem, tbh.

It's attempting solving a problem by increasing it. Can't help but think it's better to get rid of them. Same with guns, but then, that's pretty much what my country did after a school shooting in the 90s.

Scary parallels with the perpetual usa solution to guns, being more guns.

I mean we have a lot of work to do as could've done much more... But renewables are a decent part of the mix in the UK at the mix. We're not where we should be, but it's not utterly hopeless

A31 closed. Vehicle fire. But it had set some of the surrounding heathland alight. Hopefully firefighters will contain it and everyone's ok

I started with Pratchett with "dark side of the sun" and strata... But it's the Tiffany books I return to most often. They are magical and deeply human. His finest... Bar, perhaps, Nation.

Memories of an episode of I'm sorry i haven't a clue, I think the Uxbridge dictionary section. "Theodolite", the rear lamp of The Goodies bicycle.

"Sharing a ‘Binface pledge card’ on socials, Alastair Campbell said these promises would exploit Farage’s weaknesses" Don't think officially adopted by binface: just recommended by Alistair Campbell on The Rest is Politics podcast.

Proffles @proffles.bsky.social · 17/07/2026
Ed, you ok probably know this, but for your followers who don't: those pledges were from Alistair Campbell and what he would advise binface to pledge from "The Rest is Politics" podcast. I don't think binface himself has actually pledged them

You just know some people will use this as evidence to suggest progressive people are "snowflakes".

Unpleasant take on the politically left-right difference. Ignores any correlation of becoming progressive and aware of injustice and ones own suffering. Empathy.
