Nacho Vigalondo is a master and this movie whips ass. If you've never seen it, you're missing out on one of the best delightfully weird gems of the 2010's.

This is the stupidest thing in the whole of Markdown, where white space after one list item adds paragraph tags to all of them 🤷‍♂️

It’s the 136th anniversary today of some highly prized artefacts from Ancient Egypt being auctioned in Liverpool. From there, the 180,000 mummified cats in question went to their splendid and dignified final resting place. A museum?

No. They were ground up and used for fertiliser 🧵

making a list of american institutions that are meeting this moment, and so far I've got burning man and paleontology down here... guess we're rebuilding society around the study of dinosaur bones and doing drugs in the desert

Ad test update: earnings dropped steadily, now I’m testing running an ad when the game loads instead. May not make any difference if page/site is seen as poor but worth testing, most of the rest of the site is vaguely similar so same issues apply

Really freaking me out trying to wrap my head around this Craigslist post of a guy, (this HAS to be a guy) who is trading $800k of crap he collected throughout his life for an RV. List includes but not limited to: fedora business, photography studio, piercing studio. It's a Tim Robinson character.

Two related pieces of information:
- Went to get some spring onions out of the fridge, found a bunch of daffodils instead
- I wasn’t wearing my glasses when I unpacked the shopping two days ago

If there’s a viable ad network out there that doesn’t set cookies, doesn’t need a GDPR overlay, & will take a daft site with a million views per month, please do let me know
(ones I’ve contacted are focused on more valuable content types)

Adding this label does make me feel a little better about trying out ads on my site (currently just one after playing Penga)

404 Media just had an ad during the #SuperBowl! We Googled "smallest TV markets in the United States" and bought an ad for $2,550 that only ran in Ottumwa, Iowa, population 25,000. That still counts

Any time I look to see what the Labour government is up to in the UK it turns out to be things like making posters that Alfonso Cuarón put in the background of the long tracking shot that opens “Children of Men”.

Finally found a barber I like. Minimal chatting, good job, quick work and good price. Yesterday he said my recent cold was because of my Covid jabs and waffled on for 25 minutes about it. Lunacy. I can never return and have to find a new barber.
