🚨 All hell just broke loose at BGSRacing at the finish for the Street Stocks! It’s 2:37 long but just watch it.

I lost it at the flying kick into the windshield. 🚨

For those who don't know this story, which I first shared six years ago today....

This one time I got my days wrong at work and ended up alone in a room with my boss and the President of Ireland while I was on ketamine.

I bet there's a good story behind that gaffer tape.
A photo of the back of a van for a company called Surrey Paws. The writing says "Mobile dog and cat grooming" but the word "cat" has been covered up with tape.

Congratulations!
Please enjoy this visualisation of Bluesky swears, including an audible delivery by a funny little voice and direct clickthrough to the post responsible for the profanity to celebrate.
PS Sound down in the presence of the easily offended.

If you're one of those "all algorithms are bad" people, you'll have to explain how this Feed that shows you posts from people you follow who post infrequently is bad or how it's not an algorithm.
