here's me with mallard (holds the world record for steam locomotive speed, 125mph), evening star (last steam locomotive built by British railways in 1960) and replica and semi-original rocket (early steam locomotive that successfully demonstrated it could work as a way of hauling passengers)

I went to the national railway museum last week and I don't think I posted any photos????

just saw someone claiming they've seen "plenty of wild guinea pigs in the UK" and can't tell if they're joking

those restaurants which advertise using ai generated food pictures: how do they look at them and not feel slightly queasy. there's one image generator that always makes food that looks like it's made of maggots and it's genuinely disgusting

like on one level it's a socially constructed experience - I remember reading a thread about "demonic possession" there where most people were like. it's absurdly rare if it exists. then 1 guy is like. actually people get possessed by demons all the time at my Pentecostal church lol

I was looking at the Christianity subreddit and someone goes like "I like the idea of Christianity but don't fully believe. help" and the advice is like "talk to jesus". and I wonder what they consider talking to jesus and what experiences they have had that makes them think that makes sense

What's with the recent move of restaurants into "the small plates concept" where you're told to order 2-3 for a meal but EACH one is like £15 and it's not like a super high end restaurant

think it's identical to most UK towns now but god visiting Ashford feels so depressing I felt my life drained out of me. half the shop fronts boarded up, everyone looks miserable and glares at you like they hate you

saw a grey wagtail hopping around a muddy area looking for insects!! love these birds, you can tell how they got their name with the tail constantly bobbing up and down haha

also stuff like that brings people who don't believe in long COVID out the woodwork cause it's a woman coded illness and they believe everyone who has it is histrionic so I also don't like it from that perspective lol

this was reaction to that story about a lesbian bar with a mask policy. I have a lot of thoughts about it but the general principle of people who are I guess "culturally leftish" being desperate to find internal failure stories, make them a big deal, and blame losing on them is frustrating to me

it's so funny when there's a story about some group of people in a random place you'd never heard of doing something and then the comments are self flagellating like "THIS is why the left is failing... we need to do better" dude wtf are you talking about

a lot of the Leninist parties set up stalls at things like pride etc and it's like I don't really believe the people at the top see this as anything other than a method to attract more young people to exploit. there's no way they support trans people lol

190

this was inspired by coming across the substack of someone who does a lot of biblical criticism stuff and as well as being trans she's also marxist-leninist (many such cases) and the blog is like half really detailed bible stuff, half Marxist stuff that relies on "revisionist" being the worst thing

150

controversial but makes me sad seeing young people end up joining Leninist groups which have next to no internal democracy and are just excuses for the same group of old men to spout their stupid bullshit forever while exploiting the energy of young people until they burn out

yesterday was the 3rd anniversary of wallsocket by underscores, which is my fave album ever I think. and it was life changing to me. like first listen blew me away. and it suddenly made me pay attention to a whole world of music made by trans women that meant so much to me

Civilization II Council - Ancient

this reminds me that civ 2 (from 1996) had full video for advisors which changed based on the tech you had. the happiness advisor was doing an Elvis impersonation all the time www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlTI... (skip to 5:50)

my local Chinese takeaway offers "free prawn crackers and a can of drink when you spend over £100" which seems like quite a high barrier

do you think that person who invented the "Omegaverse" was into it Like That or was it just a terribly unfortunate accident

i find the various kinks people have really interesting but its kind of weird to talk about them in public. but human sexuality is just crazy. our brains are so complicated and then they just kind of fuck around and get us attached to any old shit
