Considering the conduct of some people on the timeline, it may be worthwhile applying scotchguard to the squirrel

After doing research I've found that there is no campaign like that (thankfully) but "White Friday" is a thing in the Middle East which is a cynical rip-off of black friday amended for the local market

I wonder if any idiot racists have decried the existence of Black Friday and demanded a similar "White Friday"

Just appalling safety standards on this railway

Godamnit, why did I download the animal crossing phone game?

I'M NEVER GOING TO GET ANYTHING DONE NOW

From what I understand this animal crossing pocket camp game consists of building a place where various animals turn up and hang out

2. Free (or cheap as possible) rent for mastodon users
3. MASTO HOUSE
4. ???
5. ???
6. Probably awful memes

Fun fact: The pirate accent we're all used to is in fact a mish-mash of various West Country accents (especially Cornwall, South Devon, and Bristol Channel)

This is entirely because Robert Newton used an accent like that when he played Long John Silver in the 1950 film of Treasure Island

This means that to the untrained ear everyone from the region sounds like either farmers or pirates

Well, this is dumb
