Urgent question: Is anyone aware of a kind of napalm death esque cover of the DuckTales theme, where the lyrics are that guttural incomprehensible style, but then the whole band go "aWoo hoo!"? If not, how do we make it exist??

Baby has a cold, and I had full-on D&V last night. Frantically trying to rehydrate this morning. 4 pints down in an hour. It's all fun at the Jim household. Partner worried it might be COVID. Baby is also EXTREMELY gassy. Pray for us.

This morning I gave the cat some catnip flavoured biscuits. 10 minutes later he sprints into the room and knocks my coffee flying. Instinctively shout at him and mop it up. He runs off. I just caught myself apologising to him for harshing his vibe.

Just in case you ever have impostor syndrome, remember that in 2011, workers at Los Alamos National Laboratory brought six kilograms of plutonium together to take a picture to show their management. The amount was enough to start a chain nuclear reaction if they had been slightly closer.

In today's game of "Is it pictures?", we discover that you can dunk Rollei IR and T-max 100 at the same time! Rollei should be overdeveloped (should be 6'30") but is lovely, T-max is underexposed and remains not worth the money. HC110 1:31, 9.5 mins #AnalogPhotography #ShootFilmBeNice #LargeFormat

Struggling to work out why Jenrick would single out these three Commonwealth countries rather than, say, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, whose citizens have exactly the same rights. It’s a head-scratcher.

England water industry was privatized for £7.6bn in 1989. Since then They have extracted £88.4bn in dividends Dumped tons of sewage in rivers Lost 1 trillion litres of water a year to leaks Built no new reservoirs They are teetering on the edge of bankruptcy but claim to be worth £144bn. Rogues.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, in heaven. A dog with little wings runs towards her open arms. Off panel, a speech bubble reads “welcome to Heaven! Here is your dog!”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. She says, “where’s my cat?”
The third panel zooms out. There are dogs with little wings everywhere. Sarah says, “Where’s ANY of the cats?”
The fourth panel shows a circle of cats holding hands and dancing gleefully surrounded by flames in hell.

These gloves don't cause neuromuscular incapacitation the way that a taser does. In fact, they only work when applied directly to bare skin. These aren't made for apprehending anyone. These have one and only one use: causing extreme pain to already-restrained captives. In plain language: torture.
