So, does UPS mean "Useless Piece of Sh... Should've done better" "Actively working..."? How much "work" does it take to tell me "Tuesday"? That'd do. Stop pissing me around. Dickheads.

Passion fruit cake was... Experimental. Edges okay ish. Middle was pudding. Flavour is quite pleasant but texture leaves a great deal to be desired.

Got an idea for a movie. It's a musical romantic comedy horror spy action thriller fantasy sci-fi porno documentary drama kind of thing. It'll be great!

Tron:Ares Did the best I could to manage expectations. I wanted to enjoy, tried to enjoy it but got bogged down on too heavy exposition, too light on actual story, plus there's only so far you can coast on easter egg references to the original before your eyes start to roll.

Okay, so I'm a bit horrified to understand that most folks will know to whom this refers. This said; there are more horrifying elements to this.

Eunice Newton Foote discovered in 1856 that carbon dioxide (then named carbonic acid) absorbed more heat from sunlight than common air, thus predicting the greenhouse effect and human originated climate change.

By way of tribute to the late, great Tim Curry, watched "Wolf Girl" 2001. A great alternative rites-of-passage story. Grace Jones on the cast list made it a must. My take: Yep. We're all freaks one way or another. Gotta live with that and learn to love yourself for who you are. #TimCurry

Money is the acid of the soul.

A little helps neutralize life's bitterness.

A little more can add flavour.

Too much and it starts to eat you away.

That's why truly good rich people work to give their money away, diluting it with care for their neighbors. It's also why those who instead choose to concentrate their wealth inevitably become monsters.

I learned something today which might interest fans of "The Trapdoor". The word "BERK" originates from Cockney rhyming slang "Berkeley Hunt". #Interesting #Etymology
Berk, Boney and Drutt.
Respectively:
* A blue, egg-shaped creature with googly eyes and big hands.

*A white elongated human skull.

*A small grey rotund spider with googly eyes and a crooked grin.

These are plasticine model characters from "The Trapdoor" TV series.berk or burk /bûrk/ (slang)
noun
A fool

ORIGIN: Short for Cockney rhyming slang Berkeley Hunt, for cunt

The spoilsports at Google have blurred out the Norwegian scuba divers from 2009 as they chased the streeview car down Rugdeveien road in Bergen. They can still be seen in repose just before the chase begins though: Link in Alt-Text
A pair of people dressed in scuba gear sit nonchalantly on deck chairs next to a blue van on a sunny residential street. Google streetview dialogue box (top left) says "44 Rugdeveien".

Love the uk, below is an alt text version of authors posted image.
t of a social media post featuring a photograph of a outdoor bus stop billboard on a city street.

The caption above the photo reads: "Elon Musk sent this email to Jeffrey Epstein FOUR YEARS after he became a convicted paedophile."

The billboard inside the bus shelter displays an email format reading:

* **To:** Jeffrey Epstein
* **From:** Elon Musk
* **Sent:** 11/25/2012
* **Subject:** RE
* **Body Text:** "What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?"

You know it's the same mentality that hates somone because of their hair colur or because they're left-handed. Bigotry finds a focus somewhere, somehow amongst the naturally bigoted. Ignorant intolerance breaks the societal contract and should therefore be excluded from society.
