@hl Fun! It's never too early to learn about bureaucracy. 😉

Excellent choice of pen too.

I'm going to have to restrain my constant urge to "well actually" every Kamala Harris-supporting meme featuring Ripley from Alien and Jones the cat and the words 'childless cat ladies.' Must remind myself not everyone has watched the extended edition of Aliens twenty times. 😏

I'll say it here and shut up about it from now on, unless asked. Ripley had a daughter, though you'd have to see the extended edition of Aliens to know that.

Jodi Picolt speaking at the Hay Festival: Having books banned in US schools is "not a badge of honour" and writers “whose livelihood is writing for middle grade and young adult readers. They are suffering greatly”

On one of her banned books:
"She said the reason Nineteen Minutes, which is about a US school shooting, was banned, was not because of the shooting scenes: “They have no problem with that. The problem is that on page 313, I use the term ‘erection’.”

@futurebird Whenever people say we can't tackle climate change because it needs to be done by all countries and you can't get everyone to sign up to take actions cooperatively, I wonder if they forgot about that whole ozone hole thing and the Montreal Protocol. I mean, we did that in the 80s! With people like Reagan and Thatcher in charge of countries! Hell, they even pushed for action and following the science.

It can be done - if our politicians weren't so bought off or blinded by ideology.

Oh lawd, I've got to bite the bullet and start rewatching Star Trek Enterprise, now Greatest Generation podcast has finished Voyager and is about to start on Trek's red-headed stepchild. I mean I don't have to watch, but the pod is better if you've seen the episode they're discussing. The things I do for @GreatestTrek

@NickGates It's okay sometimes. But there are long stretches of episodes that were a real slog to get through. More so that in any other series. But Ben and Adam will ease the pain. 😁 @GreatestTrek

Remember that time a fox queued up for the ATM? Britain, where even the wildlife respects a queue.

"Dude, I work with the public. You're not even the scariest thing I've seen this week."

29th of February should be a holiday for all. It's not like it's a real day. Every 4 years an extra public holiday. Is that too much to ask?

People who have to work, like in healthcare etc, should get a day off in lieu.

@kozy138 @codinghorror Agreed. Any time I do that "political compass" test I come out as left libertarian. Only recently twigged that means I'm basically an anarchist.

@Cassandra @cat @_L1vY_ Just when you think you've seen the best bit, it becomes legendary.

@aeva @stinerman @Cassandra @cat @_L1vY_ Could be that the cat on top of the can felt the lid move and jumped too, so less weight on the lid, which would then push it as it jumped I suppose. So partly yeeted and partly a jump. Whatever, it made me cry laughing, so I love it.

@aeva @stinerman @Cassandra @cat @_L1vY_ Gonna need Corridor Crew to debunk it at this rate. 😁

@AlanBurnett Is the city Sheffield?

Has the goat burned?

No, the Gävle goat is pecked but unbowed today. :julbock:

@forteller @aagot I don't think that's the same thing as the form needing sign in by people you share it with though.

@forteller I'm pretty sure it is off there. If you toggles the Limit to 1 Response to On, then it would require sign in. Without that turned on there isn't a sign in required.

It's not very well worded. But try toggling that control and it will pop up that sign-in to Google would be required.

@BethanyBlack Not to mention that there's a small, but non-zero chance they'll turn you into a ghost too.

@drizzy @IceNine @HistoPol You can, because that's what it was called first, as it used to be made of a fabric called cotton duck.

@skry Bonus idiot points if it includes a person's face grimacing in pain/fear as they get injected.
