Gen Z don't know how to live in the moment. In my day, we'd go to warehouse parties. In freakin' Brooklyn. We had blogs. Open mics. Greenpoint. And yeah, we would get our hearts broken. By Adam. By Marnie. Even by Shosh .. (it is increasingly clear i am remembering HBO's Girls) Ah .. nevertheless,

Reddit advert for a website that claims to be able to get your Italian police records. It has a picture of what I assume is an Italian police record. Your guess is as good as mine

Wile E. Coyote, despaired, takes a bucket of paint and a brush and paints a beautiful two-bedroom house on a mountainside. He paints a beautiful coyote wife in the window, and two adorable coyote kids running around in the yard. He tries to enter this new coyote life, but it is inaccessible to him

Have I played “Control Resonant”? Sorry…I’m too busy reading the story of a man who “Controls Rocinante”…that’s right, Miguel Cervantes’ immortal tale “Don Quixote de La Mancha”. So you enjoy your strange “Federal Bureau”…I’ll be delighting in the adventures of Sancho Panza and his “Friendly Burro”

A local newspaper did some school photos and at the bottom of the page where you can buy prints it has other photos you might like @apiln.bsky.social

A webpage saying "you might also like" with 5 photos below - two are school class photos, two are related to a new drinks company and finally there is "Joshua Thorpe with his wheelie bin. He's complained about the bin contractors turning up at 5am despite the heatwave being over".

Subtweet: just seen another mention of data centres being water hungry in a UK context. This from @rowlandmanthorpe.bsky.social puts data centre water usage at 0.2% of non-household consumption (so less than 0.1% overall). rowlandmanthorpe.substack.com/p/data-centr...
