Southern expat living in sunny Manchester - quite liked the ending of Game of Thrones. Posts in a personal capacity because I can't afford to outsource it.
Happy Winter Solstice. The sun has risen in Manchester (We're told).

Of all the AI fun that's been brought upon us my favourite is:
"Sign in and enable Co-Pilot"

"Register and signup"
"Maybe later"

Right Bluesky your experience is required. If I have an Ikea delivery and they've given a 4 hour window with a tracker that is supposed to show a live update but hasn't updated... will I be safe doing the school pickup?
As in - I'm guessing I'm near the back of the queue still?

Walk to school this morning involved thinking up alternatives to "wetter than an otters pocket".
"Wetter than a fish's sausage roll" was the best we came up with?

Need a day off coffee - it's really upsetting my stomach, tomorrow, no coffee.
Me today:
One pint mug full won't hurt - the body just needs training.

The BBC spent years trying to make a programme out of the lottery. Similar vibes
Does anyone who is not directly involved in World Cup draws enjoy the parts of World Cup draws that are not the actual draw. Who tunes into these things thinking "I really hope this lasts a lot longer than necessary, with a load of musical acts, stilted speeches and self-regarding short films"

Just thinking about Parkrun on the weekend when a guy cut me up and on the back of his t-shirt was written "Respect my run, give me space".
OK bud - I will take note of giving you space. You can have plenty.
