Just had a thoroughly dystopian online chat with a computer at HMRC where it failed to even offer me basic information on the correct topic, despite me telling them what the topic was in a very succinct manner.

It wouldn't have helped, as I've already read that, but it would have at least felt like it was potentially achieving something.

Fuck this future, I want my jet pack.

I've had several relatives pass in Macmillan homes, so I joined the Macmillan Ball committee to help with their biggest fundraising event. We’ve some great items in our silent action tonight on which ends at 10.30pm. Bid away! https://www.themacmillanball.com/lite-ui/?controller=lots&category=All%20Lots

Earlier on today I mentioned a Sandwich Gang & it kind of rattled round my head a bit.

I finished work & thought "Oh, I could make a badge for the Sandwich Club" (I'd already forgotten that it was meant to be gang).

Then I got distracted by the fact you can get something called a club sandwich & how I've never known what that is (now investigated, basically a fancy BLT).

Anyhow.

Eventually I gave a sandwich a club.

Still no badge. My bad.

I made Thanksgiving dinner and now the kids are crying and I'm not allowed to help anymore

The very best thing about being fire folk is that you can toast marshmallows whenever you want.

100% of fact.

I don’t know if any time of my life has blurred together more than the last four years

And the sarcasm will be so sharp, you'll bleed.

Dungeons and Dragons is a role-playing game that lets you live out such fantasies as:
• Having money
• Making close friends as an adult
• Travelling the world without crippling debt
• Being able to change the world
• Getting better at something with practice
• Getting 8 hours of sleep each night

Today’s poem is called ‘The News Where I Am’.

Just one confetto

Unfortunately

"Madam President...the moon that recently arrived...something has broken away, it's descending over the Pacific."

"What do you recommend we do, General?"

"There's nothing we can do. It's bigger than any mountain on Earth."

CUT TO AIRCRAFT CARRIER, PACIFIC FLEET, A BOOMING SWANEE WHISTLE SHATTERS ALL WINDOWS

"My god...get a message out fast, before that wave hits. All hands, abandon ship."

CUT TO WHITEHOUSE. GENERAL DROPS PHONE, VISIBLY PALES

"Madam President...they've dropped a Clanger."

We need to talk about the Clangers. The Clangers (copyright Coolabi Productions Ltd, Smallfilms Ltd and Peter Firmin, images used under review/satire...) live on "a small Moon"...and are tall enough that the Moon's curvature is comparable to their scale. This is the best pic I could find to illustrate this, the further Clanger seems to be pretty much ON the horizon from the camera's point of view.

So we can draw a circle to match that curvature...

If any scientists are available to help that would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

I don't think there's anything else to add to #Oxfam's last campaign report. #ClimateChange #ClimateInequality

My only two moods on Mastodon

There has been much deleting but one that's survived is this empty room in Dunstaffnage Castle that shouted at me as I entered.

Terrible photo but... RARR!

I've mentioned before that I have a folder of "hmm, I could do something with that" stuff & if I don't use it after an amount of time I post or delete.

I am having a 'sort it' afternoon.

This is one where I just didn't get suitable footage to properly play with, but I have a soft spot for old tech & flashing lights.

I'm fairly confident it's the Harwell Dekatron Computer (the WITCH) at the National Museum of Computing. I recommend a visit.

Ahhh, Mastodon.

As a result of recent chats on here I've been down an extensive rabbit hole about Yorkshire dialects (I am not from Yorkshire), then had to work out if I could still remember how to floss (dance, not dental care).

Excellent.
