Also, I'm so chuffed to be able to share the cover for Tiny Moments of Joy: Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand, which will be coming out in paperback and ebook on the 11th of November this year.

All further details to come soon!

Huge thanks for your lovely encouragement this past year!❤️
You're looking at a damask pink... maybe soft red cover with the words Tiny Moments of Joy written in a serif font in white and orange. Above that are the words: Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand in a white sans serif font and the name George Penney is below in the same font. The cover has a border of pale ferns that are mostly white or a paler colour than the cover. You know looking at this cover that you will need a comfy chair, maybe a snoozing lap cat or dog and a sunny or warm spot to read this book. It's that kind of vibe.

I refuse to believe that the third one isn't a 7yo boy standing on his brothers shoulders in his dad's suit to buy a vape.

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.

Some of the ringleaders are below: We live in a world where 4chan types now occupy positions of real power.

Paging @geepranks.bsky.social in particular but anyone else with bug/antique experience, any advice?
Picture of a butterfly in an antique frame with visibly deteriorated wings, with a request for anyone who can advise as to repairing or replacing it.

My father in law is stilll called Granky by my 14yo daughter because of this guy.

I know. My mom fucking LOVED Lostprophets.

(In seriousness though, I know exactly what you mean.)

Fascinating. Thanks for checking that for me! Can't see much online about this. For the record although that flair says Blacksky user, I am using their other PDS which is for non-PoC.
devalmont.myatproto.social
Since I moved my account from Bsky to myatproto I've not got a avatar pic in my browser (mobile app is fine). Anyone else had this if they've moved to another PDS?

Do we know where H from Steps was earlier today? I suspect the rozzers might need to have a word with him. At least his socials will get quieter now.

Are you a non-Black person pissed at Bluesky leadership and feeling a little jealous of all the good vibes coming from Blacksky?

There are Blacksky adjacent options for you! Here’s info from the Blacksky migration guide!

docs.blacksky.community/migrating-to...
Screengrab from Blacksky migration guide:

blacksky algorithms

A Warning: Anyone else using a blacksky.app handle will receive a warning at first and then a suspension.

Alternative PDSs for Everyone
Blacksky Algorithms also operates two other
PDSs that are open to anyone:
• myatproto.social - Open to all
• cryptoanarchy.network - Open to all

These servers run on the same infrastructure as blacksky.app and are maintained by the same team, but are available for anyone to use regardless of background.

Great news for the little man, as Badenoch announces that the Tories will save you a couple of grand when you buy your house (as long as you're spending at least £300k).

Holy fuck, how did I compile this list and forget that Nine Lives was Aerosmith's 12th album?
devalmont.myatproto.social
Mule Variations was Tom Wait's 13th album
Heroes was David Bowie's 12th, Heathen his 23rd.

However seeing as Kanye's 12th album is going to be a load of deepfake AI-voiced bullshit with a swastika on the cover I think she can call this a win.

In defense of Taylor Swift...what's the best 12th album anyone has ever made?

I have it on good authority that Tilly Norwood FUCKS. It was specified in the prompt.

Sorry, Tyler. You're going to have to wank over a different fictional woman.

I'm sorry: "if I wish to see a virgin on-screen"?
My Favorite Actress Is Not Human
Tilly Norwood doesn’t need a hairstylist, has no regrettable posts, and if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances. That’s because she’s AI.

This works particularly well for 80s and 90s wacky comedy acts.

'I'd Bobby her Davro.'

'I'd Barry his Chuckle.'

'I want to Timmy his Mallet all night long'.

A weird thing about English is you can put someone's name into this format and make pretty much any name sound dirty.

"I'd (first name) his/her/their (last name)"

For example:

I'd Tobey her McGuire if you know what I mean.

At this point I just assume that Trumo and his cronies have all taken short positions on Johnson & Johnson and are just trying to tank their share price. Or maybe it's just because they haven't kissed the ring and it's just punitive. Either works.

Oh shit, he caught a replay of the Tommy Lee Jones film Hunted on TV and thought it was the news, didn't he?

"I spoke to the governor, she was very nice. But I said, 'Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening? My people tell me different.' They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place...

Trump seems to back off Portland military plan: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?'
President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."
