amazon suggested I buy a copy of the old man and the sea and it reminded me how much I fucking hated that section of my english lit class

the book's fine, story of a bloke fighting a fish, kinda wanted the fish to win but whatever, good book

what I hated was the constant "THIS IS A CHRIST ANALOGY"

computerfairi.es: basically the fediverse version of that island in japan populated by hundreds of bunnies

@hasya23 certainly not wells

that's how you start polluting ground water

volcanoes though...

any time I hear billie eilish's "bad guy" on the radio I always expect it to segue into "we are number one"

thanks internet, you've ruined me

reggie is a good cat

@noelle ah, standard night-time public transport then

@maple somewhere between 1980 and 2020

BREAKING NEWS: good hedgie does a drink

🦔

@maple oh good god, I hadn't seen the new one, jesus fuck

"let's sand down that wall for repainting" I thought

nope, paint all ended up flaking off so had to strip the paint from the entire wall

@cassolotl I'd codify the Labour votes as pro-faffing around and not actually coming up with a coherent stance on brexit personally

looking at the detailed breakdown of the voting it appears that just over 50% of the people who voted in my area are complete cunts*

sucks but honestly I'm a bit surprised that percentage wasn't higher

*voted for the brexit party, conservatives, ukip, or the english democrats

@maple *brings blankets* have a good charge!

Someone reminded me of the Channel 4 dating programme Naked Attraction and I really want it to be broadcast in the USA so I can watch the moral outrage they're bound to have over it

Also it'll help get rid of the stereotype they have of us being all prim and proper

Elon Musk's hyperloop project is now literally just a tunnel

His company spent two years and fuck knows how much money developing a tunnel

I can only imagine that the BFR is just a catapult at this point

@cassolotl might make for an interesting jacket?

I came across this, a video about little tiny wireless LEDs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsUsByrOveE

I'm thinking that those, combined with an induction loop in a necklace or something, might be useful for cool cyberpunky light up makeup effects

Or hiding wires might just be easier, I don't know, I know bugger all about things you apply to faces

@natecull yes

or no

I'm not entirely sure
