Mostly here for cat pics and guitar effects pedals. I like playing Space Haven. There will be random thoughts and reposts.

So Reform have launched an app that tracks small boats arriving in the UK in real time, and already their supporters are complaining that it's boring because there are hardly any boats. They are SO close to getting it.

Incredibly sad but playing the original Pokemon games was honestly the last feeling of true discovery in my life. Since then literally everything has been explained in detail online and I know exactly what to expect upfront before I commit any of my time. We've all lost something

Like what are the rules of engagement here? Can I say hi? Ask him what he thinks about stuff? Should I get him a drink? How long is he staying for? Can I change the channel? Also does anyone else think, they'd just tell him to get fuck out of their house? It's just so odd. It makes my brain hurt.

And Messi just invites himself in, sits himself down on the sofa, like a psychopath would do, because there's a football match on and if there's football, then Messi must watch. He's not got better to do. Nothing else going on in his life. Besides he brought a big bag of crisps. So all good right?

I'm also really failing to articulate how ridiculous I find it. Like how does this whole situation come about? Perhaps a worm hole opened up in several places, thus transporting Messi + an oversized pristine bag of crisps, to some random guy's front door?! And everyone converses in English ofc.

Can't get enough of that Messi crisp advert and it's not because it's a good advert. It's just the sheer ridiculousness of the entire thing. Very much a firm favourite with me.

I hated being "dad taxi" for my teenage daughter and her mates and getting asked to do tip runs etc in my BMW Estate. So I sold it and got a two-seater Smart Car, I look a twat driving it but nobody asks me lifts anymore.

i think a lot of ppl who don’t care about physical games don’t realize that physical games going away is a problem even if you don’t get them… it means they will have full monopoly on their digital store with 0 competition so they can price whatever hellish price they want

My local pub is having a music festival over the weekend, raising money for a local mental health charity. So well worth popping in for a few beers (money goes to charity.) Anyways here's a picture of a one man synth pop band. I was cynical but he's playing bangers. Good shit. Do be kind to peeps 💚
Picture of a crowded pub in England. Worn wooden fooden floor. That's not in the photo, but you'd feel it. It's about 8:30pm. It's summer so it's still light out here, but the dark is slowly creeping in. I'm beside the side corner of the wooden bar. There's three people directly in front of me. Blue check shirt guy, a guy in a black band t-shirt and then someone in a football top. Above the bar there are old plaques of guest beers the pub has previously had. In the distance, beyond the bar flip hatch, is a spectacled man, wearing a black shirt with a grey pinstriped neck tie- on a humid warm summers evening by the way, playing a Roland syth. He's playing 80's style syth bangers. A green flashing light projects onto the background.

Aging for me is busy with getting rid of the crap I once though important in my youth. I own about as much a college student these days, haha. It's very liberating. It weeds your garden so other things have a chance to grow. Like you.

Phone screenshot of a perfect high score from the enclose a horse game. There's a graph which shows my score is the best and there's a large bold text that says "perfect" with not one, but two, diamonds next to it. This is a totally modest, humble, post by the way. I'm not here to brag or anything like that at all!

Sad news. It's extraordinary how long a tree can live for, when we can barely muster up a century for ourselves. I visit this tree quite often and it amazes me to think it was stood there, doing its own thing, while the Mona Lisa was being painted, while the Great Fire of London was happening.

How Does It Feel, Mr Footballer? [from 2021]

[Title]:

How Does It Feel, Mr Footballer?

[Following panels show a footballer being interviewed in various scenarios]

1
[Making first contact with an alien on another planet]:
Yeh y’know obviously it’s a great to make first contact, we’re here to represent humanity and give it 100 per cent

2
[Chained above the fiery pit of Hell] :
2 Yeh y’know obviously it’s disappointing to be in the fiery pit but you’ve got to look forward

3
[Being devoured by tiny Nanobots in a future dystopia]: 
Yeh y’know obviously the murderous nanobots are a factor but we’ve got to take the positives 

4 
[On WW2 VE-Day]
Yeh y’know obviously we’re pleased to win World War 2, they came out organised and made it difficult for us

5 
[In a multi-dimensional vortex]:
Yeh y’know obviously there’s no easy games at the multiverse level, take one dimension at a time

6 
[Stood on a cloud, next to a shining orb of light]
Yeh y’know obviously it’s great to see the face of God, we’re happy with that

7 
[In the midst of an apocalypse, the world on fire]:
Yeh y’know obviously we wanted to survive as a species but we haven’t managed to do that 

[Ends]

A guitarist on stage during a live concert, captured mid-headbang with long, dark, curly hair flying upwards in a dramatic, fan-like motion. The musician, wearing a dark sweatshirt and cargo pants, is leaning forward while playing a white Fender electric guitar with a dark pickguard. The scene is vividly lit by stage lights, featuring fuchsia and purple hues casting over the hair and a bright green light illuminating the stage floor, the feet, and parts of the drum kit in the background. The shot uses a slightly tilted angle to enhance the energetic atmosphere of the performance.

The "I'll Tell The Children" Simpsons meme which shows a worker and architect standing around a table. The worker has removed his hardhat and is staring down with a despondent look on his face, while the architect clutches a now redundant blueprint with an air of defeat. The wording reads: "There'll be no TikTok or unboxing videos for under-16s then. I'll tell the children via a post on X: the Nazi-owned platform that promotes extremist views.". Made in reference to Keir Starmer's announced plans to prohibit social media for anyone under the age of 16. Good luck with that, mate. They'll run rings around you on this one.
