Another year, another #Budget2026 where being a just about middle earner means absolutely nothing.
If anything, losing out, and certainly in a few years when the new EV tax thing comes in.
Woo.

Hey @ianhigton.bsky.social if you're stuck on a '"What Even Is', have you seen VOIDTRAIN? Looks like it could be a fun game, possibly even sausage squad worthy.

So apparently kids with tablets/phones isn't the only thing to stop you wanting to going to restaurants.
Allowing the kid to have several facetime conversations during the meal is apparently now acceptable.
I had these two things in stereo today.
I'm done. Cooking at home is cheaper anyway.

2 years & 2 months ago, I started a Horus Heresy "re-"read. Following a reading order I found online that has been pretty accurate, it features all books, novella, short stories and audio books. All 298 of them (and still counting!). I'm entering the final chapter, book 284!

One year ago today I found Gregory in the back of a cage at a shelter. He was the oldest cat and had been there the longest... and his sad eyes broke my heart.
Today he's a sassy, talkative friend who sits with me while I take photos of space. Happy adoption day Greggers!

I lost my right arm in a motorbike accident two years ago. I've adapted and nearly accepted it in most ways apart from wanking. No matter how much I try I can't get used to doing it with my left hand and it makes me cry sometimes.

Isn't it great with all these technologies like chat windows and web forms and whatsapp, when that's the ONLY way to contact a company and they ignore it!

Getting REAL sick of companies/individuals saying "Big corpo company C&D'd me and stopped me selling generic item"
1) You were ALSO selling IP related item. This is why
2) The PLATFORM you were selling on closed your account cos they are lazy
Stop making out you are the victim for taking the piss
