Was browsing Ali express for some iPod parts and now it thinks I want to buy a Jason Statham balaclava/mask whatever. And I kind of do…

What’s annoying is there are a bunch of alternative covers and this is by far the worst, idk why it’s the default

Read A Court of Thorns and Roses (lollll) while watching Alien Earth and I just realised I was picturing Lucien’s eye like the eyeball alien 🙁

First time I’ve ever been on a flight with WiFi, hello from the sky. Feels wrong to be able to browse the internet up here

When I saw it recently they did a fake out with the intermission and showed it on screen for just long enough that people started leaving and had to run back in lmao. Shame cos I really could have used that break 😭

Went to the replica bayeux tapestry today @readingmuseum.bsky.social and found the sections from my jumper 😌 🧶

In the background is the replica of the bayeux tapestry, I’m standing in front of it wearing a jumper with the same design on it looking really excited

My partner and I did a summer of statham last year and I’d honestly really recommend it, he’s been in some truly ridiculous stuff

Don’t know who made this but thank you

Baudrillard’s 4 stages of simulacra applied to pumpkin spice

Stage one (next to picture of pumpkin): Initially the sign (image or representation) is a reflection of basic reality

Stage two (next to picture of pumpkin pie): the sign masks a basic reality. The image becomes a distortion of reality

Stage three (next to Starbucks pumpkin spice latte): the sign marks the absence of basic reality. The image calls into question what the reality is and if it even exists

Stage four (next to jug of pumpkin spice flavored coffee mate): the sign bears no relation to any reality whatsoever; it is it’s own pure simulacrum

when this is all over, villains are going to be so easy to design

Mar-a-Lago face describes a plastic surgery and fashion trend among American conservative and Republican women to modify their faces with "detectable" surgery, excessive makeup, fake tans, and "fake eyelashes, with dark smokey eyes and full lips".[4]

The trend has been described as a status symbol among Donald Trump's inner circle, signaling wealth, privilege, and alignment with Trumpism.[5][4][6] Commentators and surgeons have characterized the look as engineered, "overdone," sometimes "tacky," and have linked it to the aesthetics and performative aspects of Trump-era politics.[7][2][8] Typical procedures required to achieve the look include facial surgery, fillers, and cosmetic dental work, with costs estimated by one cosmetic surgeon at over $90,000.[9] Notable public figures described as having the Mar-a-Lago face include Ivanka Trump[2], Matt Gaetz[1], Kimberly Guilfoyle[4], Kristi Noem[2], and Lara Trump[8].

🧶 bayeux tapestry jumper is finished, blocked and sewn up! Please don’t ask me about weaving in ends I don’t want to talk about that right now. Probably my favourite thing I’ve ever knitted ever #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knitting
