I wanted my friend and I to daytrip to Paris, enjoy a pastry and visit the beautiful grand mosque, but the funds would not stretch, so I've instead suggested a day trip to a bit of London new to us that has an equally stunning mosque and wonderful bakeries! Same travel time for both itineraries.

A song by Frou Frou played automatically and at first I was like, Caroline Polachek? And then I was like, Imogen Heap? Anyway I think their voice is a perfect blend of the two.

This’ll have to do until I find a shotgun.

A screenshot from the videos Silent Hill f, with the protagonist Hinako holding a kind of curved sword with a long, thin hilt. The name of this weapon is Naginata in Japanese, described as a polearm.

The girls and I are enjoying the autumn sun ☀️ 🍂

A selfie of me, a Black woman in a teal hijab and sunglasses, sat on a bench by the river. A bunch of pigeons are sunbathing in the background.

Looking up whether there are any downsides to eating butter chicken every day.

Can’t figure out what’s more stressful for me: watching the live tracker of the aid flotillas approaching Gaza or not watching the live tracker.

🎃 SpookY2K is out now! 🎃 #SpooktoberVNJam

You wake up on a cold bathroom floor, only to discover that you time travelled to a Halloween party in 1999!

As you get closer to the other guests, will your clueless involvement let the party take a deadly turn? 🔪🩸

🦇 PLAY HERE: kigyo.itch.io/spooky2k

A title screen showing a girl doing a peace sign on the floor, surrounded by a chalk outline meant for a corpse

Two girls pouting, with the third in the middle saying "Now, now. Don't pout, you two."

A man seductively leans into the screen, while three choices are displayed: "Go for it", "Do nothing", and "Kill him"

A relaxed skater dude stands in the kitchen, saying "Well, I guess what I'm trying to say is... thanks"

I don’t feel particularly British except for when certain British indie songs from the early 2000s/2010s start playing.

The boycott works. Continue the boycott.

Microsoft has terminated unit 8200’s access to select cloud storage and AI services, making it the first giant tech company to terminate any services to apartheid Israel at least since the beginning of its Gaza genocide.

I found my car unlocked one morning. Totally intact, nothing was missing and, once I got over the shock, drove just fine. Can’t help but wonder if there simply isn’t a market anymore for compact and sturdy Toyotas from the early 2010 :/

There's an hour left to help support a good cause and get some really rad games in the process!

Junch @junchgaming.bsky.social · 22d

We're down to the last 1.5 hours of the Games for Palestine charity. If you've not yet picked up nearly 400 incredible indie games and experiences, and support a good cause while you're at it, now's your chance

You know I actually really liked Disney+ and Xbox Gamepass. But a boycott is a boycott. If you get to pick & choose the ones that don’t impact you, they don’t lose a real customer, and the boycott doesn’t work. If BDS says don’t watch Eurovision. Don’t watch it.

Where and when do you draw the line? Useful question for me and for you.
