mild rant about english literature teaching 

bloke carries the mast of the boat over his shoulders teach goes "JUST LIKE CHRIST ON THE CROSS!", no teach, that's just how you carry a fucking mast, how the fuck else are you going to carry the fucker?

he's out there for three days, teach goes "JUST LIKE CHRIST DID!", no, that's clearly not a direct correlation, this dude is trying to catch a fish and jesus fucked off on a long weekend, that's the full extent of the similarity here

mild rant about english literature teaching 

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

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

I'm sure everyone knows about them, but here's a reminder that harvest mice exist.

"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

eu/local pol 

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

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

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_At

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

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

youtube.com/watch?v=PsUsByrOve

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

Okay this Huawei thing is really bringing up a few issues around a lot of standards bodies being based in the US

The SD Association is based in California which means that Huawei can't say their products support SD cards

And the Wi-Fi Alliance is based in Texas which means Huawei won't be to certify that their products work with wi-fi

And the Bluetooth SIG is based in Washington, which means they can't use Bluetooth

This is a problem

paws are pretty damn awesome

if I didn't have these gert big wiggly arms I'd totally have paws

ukpol 

couldn't she have moved it forward to the 31st though?

"May ends on the 31st" would have been a good headline

At least we've still got "June marks end of May"
