In the UK we like to name our gritters (vehicles that spread grit on the roads to increase traction in icy conditions, owned and operated by the county council)

Lanarkshire just got Gritter Thunberg

@evie thank god lucas already handed over star wars, this would have given him so many ideas

@Jo @InspectorCaracal easy enough to add, besides, it doesn't have to be that quick, just has to be able to slowly lift it

duct tape a multirotor to your roomba

roomba can now go up stairs

@InspectorCaracal particular shout-out to evangelical christian types who say that atheists are dangerous because "what's stopping them from murdering everyone?!"

If the only thing that's stopping them from committing mass murder is the fear of eternal torture I don't want to be anywhere near them

From Mark Kermode's review of Cats (2019): "the biggest problem with the film is that it shouldn't exist..."

@mavica show those tiny bacterial bastards who's boss!

@mavica gonna have to wrap you in double sided sticky tape and roll you around the room

so let me get this straight, the white house is saying that hilary clinton purposely lost the 2016 presidential election with the help of russian hackers so that in three years trump would make a call to ukraine to try to dig up dirt on joe biden's son because biden was going to announce a bid for president and then rudy giuliani would go on TV and admit to everything just so the democrats could impeach trump

that... that appears to be what they're saying so...

@Nine only been inside the one catholic church in the UK and that was a big brutalist concrete thing so I'm not sure that counts as proper churchy

@Nine did a tour of various churchy things in Florence as part of an arty history type course and didn't pick it up there so I have no idea what's up with the CofE

@Nine I don't remember a smell (although the last time I was in one was over a decade ago) but I certainly caught a weird vibe

put a gonk on it

@evie those are super-cool looking

@mavica 🍍 !

@mavica hope you feel better soon

make sure to get plenty of liquidy stuff

Should anyone else want to put a gonk on it, here's an image with a transparent background
