The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, holding a red ball labeled "A SILLY MEME".
The second panel shows Sarah taking the ball and going through a door labeled "GROUP CHAT".
The third panel shows a group of women sitting together and consoling one woman in the center. The woman in the center is saying "...And that's how it happened. It's been the worst day of my life."
The fourth panel shows Sarah standing in the doorway behind them awkwardly holding the red ball.

"I am here more than ever". Well, yes, Pep, in a sense. A completely made-up, untrue sense.

@danlew Actual conversation with the people who installed our dishwasher last year:

Them: "nice machine you got there"
Me: "it was the only one without wifi"
Them: "oh, so you're in IT?"

It’s house cats during big spider season time again…
That meme of the two nerdy guys looking excited and pointing at something. I have drawn cat ears and whiskers on them and they are pointing at a big house spider.

This year has been about closure, change, passing. And it's barely 3/4 through. Maybe I need to be leaning into it and forcing change on every aspect of my life that isn't working.

I now live in front of a building site that happens, for the moment, to be green. Dog walkers are turning up and doing the "WTF?" face. It's not like we publicised it or put signs all around the site or said that Leeds were literally extinguishing the statutory trust on the fields *over Christmas*

So I'm cooking sea bass, and I go to my watch to do the "set a timer for 4 minutes" thing using the Assistant button, which has always worked and is soooo useful when cooking, but now instead of setting a timer it says "Set up Gemini on your phone" and my heart sinks nonononononono

I have said before and will again: any electoral reform commission must NOT rule out a change of system BEFORE the next election if needed. We cannot risk a minority vote handing a huge majority to any party that would take a shredder to democracy itself.

Yeah? Well Marco Rubio can fuck off and leave a sovereign nation to its own fucking justice system without resorting to the lies on which his own system of government now apparently depends
Fairford

Marco Rubio says
foreign actor was 'clearly' behind suspected RAF Fairford
plot The US secretary of state offered no evidence
for his claims, and also said many people were 'disturbed' that the five suspects had been
released on bail

It doesn’t matter what a majority of Brits think. There’s no democratic element to the American military operating out of Britain, and there never has been one.

EXC: Majority of Brits do not support UK bases being used by the US in the Iran War.
A poll, conducted by Opinium, for Zeteo UK before the suspected terror plot near RAF Fairford found that nearly three-quarters of adults oppose the use of British military bases, or are undecided or neutral.

It is six years to the day since I was blocked by Right Said Fred in the Other Place. Slow news day so I thought I'd let you know.
Right Said Fred have locked their account after their Trafalgar
Square anti-mask endorsement. I'd like to think it was the wag who said "must be a while since you saw a crowd that big" what
done it.
