The smell of toast made with white bread is incredibly nostalgic for me. During childhood we never had white bread at home but my paternal grandparents did so it always has the associations of a treat or a holiday.

How many trans people have the BBC had on this week discussing the BBC's pro-trans bias?
Zero.

This BBC business is an object lesson in how the right wing can never be satisfied. Despite being appallingly biased in favour of the right (just how many times has Farage been on QT?) apparently it wasn't enough.

The BBC has no pro-trans bias. The BBC is appalling on trans issues, just like the rest of the media.

I turn my computer on, login, both monitors connect and show the desktop. Then – almost without fail – the extra monitor thinks "oh hang on, I'm suppose to piss them off..." and blinks out. I can only get it to reconnect by unplugging and replugging the HDMI cable in.
And then it works fine.
And then it works fine.

The irony is that I would far rather go and see a play/watch a movie about a young and interesting person coming on board as the director of a 73 year old production (and the Robin Williams comedy-drama about ‘creativity vs authority/tradition that ensues), than go and see The Mousetrap.

I managed to get back into reading physical books again after a hiatus. With me I suspect it wasn't too much screen time – when reading a physical book I felt I was wasting time and should be Doing Something. (Of course the same applied to doomscrolling with added self-loathing.)
Too many people have resigned themselves to not reading because they fear they no longer have the focus for it. You only need to limit your screen time for a few days to begin feeling the effects on your brain. I promise you, you are capable of reading books again.

You cannot separate the current nightmare we now inhabit from the collapse/crisis in how rich, powerful middle-aged men perceive masculinity, especially their own insecurities.
I’m sorry, but a goofy looking guy who grew up a privileged son of a pediatrician and has a phd in social theory from the university of Goethe and started in tech by investing an inheritance left to him by his grandfather talking about being a “dude” is very, very funny to me.

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

I made a “how do you do, fellow kids?” joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme.
So “how do you do, fellow kids?” is now an example of “how do you do, fellow kids?”

Due to a dearth of work the past month I'm going to have to find ways to occupy myself that don't cost money and stamp out my retail therapy habit.
Thankfully I have a huge To Be Read pile of books for a start. as well as numerous To Be Watched shiny discs.
Plus writing costs nothing.

We seem to be in a season of mornings that disappear quickly down the plughole of time while evenings last for ages as if the drain's got clogged.

I love this. Their glowing eyes. Their gathering spot. And the phrase, 'popcorn popping sky.'
I turned a corner and, mesmerised by my torch beam, they were motionless for long enough to take a photo. Then they ran towards the popcorn popping sky over the hill (a village firework display). Their ember eyes and the way they’ve gathered under the pole make them seem a little alien.

For those saying James Watson's intellectual brilliance made his bigotry an acceptable trade-off, might I point out (Exhibit A below 👇) that one brain ought to be easily big enough to be a genius AND a decent human being. We don't call bigotry 'small mindedness' for nothing.
