Hate it. When I’m ill and my wife tries to force it on me, I pretend to be better so she’ll stop.

At least a year and going strong in this case, it appears.

Woman With No Mind’s Eye Develops One After Taking Magic Mushrooms

A year on from her trip, the woman is still able to think in pictures.

Oooh, is it the season?
I read an article last year(?) about a woman who fixed her aphantasia with mushrooms and it’s been in the back of my mind ever since.
I might hunt some down. Never done it before, so literal kill or cure. I might do some research, thinking about it.

This guy’s a loon. If he really was a historian that spent years covering fascism, he’d be aware of the massive amount of great satirical work created around WWII.

That is incredible! I hadn’t seen it before.

This has now happened, along with recaps of his hijinks on shows like This Morning.
She loves him.

I was testing something out on the sprog’s iPad this afternoon. She just text me, obviously having no idea who the hell this guy is.

Apple fixing things to spread money around? Sound like the broken Windows fallacy.

Everyone’s Favourite Jim @jimmeruk.bsky.social · 12h

If it were a government agency it might be worth having a think about, but as Apple is a multi-trillion-dollar company, I say let 'em do what they like.

Meal planning with my wife and this got stuck in my fucking head, and now it's in yours.

The cover of Cher's 1999 hit 'Strong Enough' except the background has been replaced with a stock image of some beef stroganoff, and the title has been changed to reflect this very funny and current joke.

ONLY migrants though, no one else is to study English because it's a rip off and a waste of time, am I getting this right.

András Forgács W @andraswf.bsky.social · 15h

Well this will certainly do it www.gov.uk/government/n...

Migrants will be required to pass A Level standard of English

Migrants will be required to pass tough new English language requirements under a law introduced in Parliament today.

Fingers crossed.

Along the same lines, this hit me hard a couple of years ago.

A screenshot of a tweet.
“It's my birthday soon, and if I wasn't feeling old enough, I've been confronted with an advert for a pension service, fronted by one of the superstars of 80s children's television. Just put me in a box now.”
The picture is of Timmy Mallet in a pensions advert.

Because they're right-wing.

That's what I need. I only had cornflakes kicking about, but I'll get some proper food later this week.

I might try some comments, but I don't want to be seen to be astroturfing, it's bad for them.

His new stuff can only be heard on the latest music app, Seashell.

Yesterday, I got a feeder thing for the window, thinking it would be nice if I could see birds whilst at my computer.
So far… nothing.
Do I need to send out flyers to all the trees to let them know a new establishment has opened in town? I don’t have a marketing budget, was hoping on word-of-beak.

The mutually exclusive concept of “trick-or-treat” is very confusing for dogs who often work in the tricks business and get paid exclusively in treats.

I checked his stats, it was obviously wrong as I could see he hadn't even stood up yet... oh.
I came to realise he is indeed an early riser and quickly deactivated the link.

Everyone’s Favourite Jim @jimmeruk.bsky.social · 16h

This reminds me of when I got an Apple Watch around the same time as a friend. We linked our accounts as you can see each other's stats and compete. Bit of fun.
One Sunday morning, I got a notification that he'd beat his daily movement goal. I couldn't believe it as I knew he was not an early riser.
