Before you make the original comment "how salty is sodium", take a step back and think.
Sodium isn't salty. You're thinking of Sodium Chloride.
Sodium is the one where fucking around near it triggers an energetic reaction that can cause burns.
Not funny. But true.

I really hope that one day, eons away, this will be offered up as an incredibly inaccurate Rosetta stone for the current times...
"Donald Trump at the press conference" I say. My fellow Tamarians groan.
"Mirab, with sails unfurled" says one, panicking as the smell of my shit begins wafting through the crowded cabin.
"Shaka when the walls fell" says another
I think to myself: "The beast at tanagra. The beast at tanagra"

I'm admittedly not great at keeping in contact with people. I found out at Christmas dinner with my family that my brother hasn't been talking to me for 2 years. I had no idea.

Watching an old episode of #elementary where Joaquim de Almeida is playing a character called Cal Medina.
Not once have they referred to him as "Funky"

Welcome to #interationalmensday where most of the comments are either "men get every day" or "only betas and simps".
Add in the weak "Happy IMD to all my XYZ people" and attempts to hijack things to make it about women.
#IMD is supposed to be about men's physical & mental health. Not this shit.

In a weird parallel universe, there's a version of #Brooklyn99 filmed using nothing but kitchen appliances.

"Hot Roads - The World's Most Dangerous Roads" is weird.
Narrator: "This Masai woman spends 30h a day standing in a toxic puddle to earn 37¢."
Subtitles: [woman speaks in a foreign language]
Her words are then dubbed by a guy who sounds like he considers French food to be too "ethnic".

Based on working in IT support for years, I can only conclude that a great number of people who, when visiting their doctor, just stand by the door, say 'I'm sick' and don't utter another word.

"We've got your parcel".
From Royal Mail, DHL, FedEx, Yodel, DX, etc, this would be reassuring.
From Evri it feels like a ransom note.

The anti #idcards petition has hit 2.7m. Surprise! The Govt has replied "nah, we're still doing it".
No one wants a govt app on their phone.
Easy fix: Reissue NI cards with a photo, DOB, and a hash of NI+DOB.
If you enter that hash on a website, it shows you that photo.
Identify proved.

Israel has done some evil shit over the last two years, but this is frankly incredible.
Claiming they want peace while launching international airstrikes, targeting the people who would agree a ceasefire? Even the fucking Yanks have denounced it.

Israel launches airstrikes against top Hamas members in Qatar for Gaza ceasefire talks
Hamas says six were killed but its leadership survived the attack, which the US says ‘does not advance Israel or America’s goals’

I was 30 miles from home when I realised there was a bee stuck in the car. I felt strangely guilty and drove all the way back home to let her out so she didn't get stranded with no hive.

The em-dash, the en-dash and the hyphen should all be replaced by a single dash. Replace grammar pedants with context clues. Most people don't know the difference anyway.

I think I just broke two Costa Coffee baristas. Bariste?
I just asked for "an iced latte but without the ice, so just cold milk and coffee."
I know odd requests throw people, but that seemed to trigger a hard mental reset. 🤣

BlueSky now lets you use up to 300 characters.
However the alt text on a picture allows another 2000 characters.
You might as well just blog at that point.

First stage of getting/renewing a driving license should be proving you can responsibly use a shopping trolley in a supermarket on a Saturday morning. The number of cars on the road would halve in ten years.

Just discovered and binge watching #Go8Bit (yes, I know, shush). End of S02 and just realised @daraobriain.bsky.social is calling Sam a muggle not a mogul.
In my defense, my hearing *is* buggered right now.

Mid 80s, my entire school year decided "you're a dildo" was a great insult. Not one adult said anything. Did they collectively decide to ignore 120 foul mouthed 10 year olds or was the word was just less common? Still feel bad about calling granny's dog "dildo breath"
