@marcusbrig.bsky.social Oh, if you're in Bern - a few things to see: Einsteinhaus museum is good (and over a rather nice place that does good pastries.... there's another place just down the road).

I just saw a Benjamin Sesko story, and honestly thought it was news about a new Star Trek DS9 series. It was about ball kicker. @seanferrick.bsky.social www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

“ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien”
You Can't Refuse To Be Scanned by ICE's Facial Recognition App, DHS Document Says
Photos captured by Mobile Fortify will be stored for 15 years, regardless of immigration or citizenship status, the document says.

Already voted, but a helpful reminder for other half - thanks.

The cartoon was excellent.
We love the @nationaltrust.org.uk especially Will! Vote wisely to avoid nutcases taking over!
If you're a National Trust member, it's that time of year again: Midnight tonight is the deadline. It's a shame people have to keep doing this to keep a toehold on historical truth in this country, but here we are. Voting link: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...

Bloody disgusting, using a dead man to try and cast shade, and making an arse of the job in the process.
If you're wondering what Carbonara Spinster Graham Linehan is up to, he's currently putting words in a dead man's mouth.

Just reading about Josephine Baker, what a fascinating woman - and the stuff she did in the Second World War was incredible in its own right, but itself was just a tiny fraction of the events she was involved in.

Worthy of a look in the pod @almurray.bsky.social ?

I run a few weeks delayed on podcasts, listening to @alwaysbecomedy.bsky.social 133 - heck of a quote from Amy Matthews for @marcusbrig.bsky.social …. “Coolest man alive”…. What about this guy?

The Traitors should not have left it on a metaphorical coin toss.

The cliffhanger should have been Celia’s vote, or the end of round one of voting.

A coin toss is just randomness.

U+269B is horribly realised in the majority of cases and not really useful as a result ⚛

U+2622 is better, but also poor ☢

Mid season on @taskmaster.tv and my thoughts turn to possible futures. With S21 decided, who for 22? Obvs I’d like to see Marcus B and/or Rachel P (TNC FTW) - Sindhu Vee - for my “National treasure” - Stephen Fry - and “lesser known” - I wonder if Robin Ince would do it? - and for Chaos, Harry Hill

I’vr just watched National Treasure, Stephen Fry, scrabbling through the dirt for a trinket. Yeah, not a show for me.

Absolutely right.
Clairvoyants and psychics should be banned. It's pure predatory behaviour from people who target vulnerable people using cheap parlour tricks that have been thoroughly debunked countless times. Charlatans the lot of them.
