If Mamdani doesn't drop Tisch, we will not re-elect him. She enables NYPD and doing nothing to stop ICE from kidnapping our neighbors. Children are scared to go to school. Tisch funds genocide in Gaza so Mamdani is choosing to pay her salary to kill people here and abroad. We will not forgive/forget

3 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he had been living, in rural Cornwall, and decided he wanted to live with us instead.
We decided to call him Jim.
This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st, 2022.

Hey all, do I have any UK based concept artists following me (or who knows anyone) who would be up for a long term 22 month contract working on Dragonwilds at Jagex? Remote with a very occasional day in office in Cambridge. Development experience and fantasy genre work is a must. Mid level role.

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

Today is the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Mahna Mahna on Sesame Street. You’re familiar with it by now, of course, but... well, it never hurts to be reminded, does it?

More generally, wherever you are in the world: if you have kids’ toys, books, clothes or anything else in just-about-giftable condition that you were thinking of decluttering some time soon, please do it now, this week ideally, and get them to your local charity shop.
Hey Ottawa folks: I gave some kids' books to Twice Upon a Time and they said they've receved fewer donations than usual for this time of year. So if you have any kids' books in good condition, or time or money to spare, here's the info:

The Labour Party. Ministers, including the Prime Minister, can't be bothered having an official account on Bluesky but more than fine with flooding it with shite.

Because it was originally the Chocolate Apple! The Chocolate Orange was the Christmas special. The Chocolate Apple wasnt apple flavoured, just milk chocolate. It was an apple because apparently Noel Terry used to like having an apple after dinner and cutting them into slices.
if chocolate orange not apple why apple shape

Thought I'd try a little thread about getting ill and all those glorious benefits, worth £20k, we all get.
Now I've never done this or said much about what's up with me but why not, sure it'll make no difference to some but it might others. 1/n
