Oh no
A bitter row broke out after No 10 sources said they had grown increasingly concerned over speculation among MPs that Wes Streeting could be planning an imminent coup against the prime minister – a move fiercely denied by the health secretary.

I finally got over myself and got mini led lights for my room, and OMG they are GORGEOUS when set up in my containers, this will be a new obsession.
Cose-up of a small, tranquil shrine glowing in warm, golden light. A wooden bust of the Buddha sits centrally, illuminated from below and flanked by two black candle holders lined with gold. A string of sandalwood prayer beads rests below the Buddha and between the lights. To the left is a framed photo of my recently departed dad, and the right a print of a stylised hare. The background wall is decorated with small images, all bathed in the soft, intimate glow. Another small shrine setup, nestled within a wooden shelving unit. The scene is similarly lit by two black and gold candle holders shining withgoldenn light, flanking a framed image of Buddha. To the right, a second framed picture shows two Theraveda monks in saffron robes. An incense holder with an smoking stick is positioned centrally in front of the Buddha. The warm, soft light from the candles reflects off the shelf and back of the cabinet, creating a peaceful, intimate atmosphere.

I wouldn't say its a laptop replacement just yet. Excellent for making notes tho, and I would probably be getting more use from it if things in my life were simpler rn.

Amazon Music pulling this kind of clownery, when I've asked to play "Mozart" for a breakfast playlist at my mum's, is exactly why Amazon music is dogshit
Screenshot of Amazon Music. An AI "art" image of "Mozart" at some decks playing to a festival crowd. The track is an EDM mix of Symphony No. 40. It is precisely the opposite of what one might be interested in when asking a music service to play some Mozart.

Everything reminds me of him
I dunno how to describe this, its american pie but Wrong, a slice of industrial plastic green, a sad and oleaginous slug slithering under a smear of deeply unappetising watery white "cream" which is dripping down the sides

I delved too greedily, and too deep
I dunno how to describe this, its the pie except not advert copy, just a photo of a sad and oleaginous slug of violent green slithering under a smear of deeply unappetising watery white "cream".

@goingmedieval.bsky.social I am sorry to bring more of The Horrors to your attention, and yet...

The “progressive” women’s bisexuality is also often coupled with mentions of her having had abortions. In this way, her sexual orientation is used to hammer home how dangerously promiscuous modern women have become. It is implied that without male oversight, women are inherently so sexual that they will not limit themselves to proper sexual propriety—like sleeping with one gender—and will engage in race-mixing and abortion. Her sexual fluidity is used to suggest that women’s sexuality and bodily autonomy need to be controlled by men. The “traditional” woman is not just straight, she is submissive to men— as conservatives think she should be.

I think you'll have passed it (can't remember the season), but my awful favourite "married with fishsticks" is, IMO, a terrible work of pure camp joy

This is gonna come in hella useful
@NickyFrank30: My grandfather used to say “and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel" and I never knew what it meant until after he died my grandmother explained some magazine did a fluff interview with Magda Goebbels a few years before WW2 that included her strudel recipe and my grandfather, who hated the Nazis with the passion of 10,000 suns, thought it was an example of the media sanitizing evil people and he would use the phrase when someone asked him to overlook a bad person doing bad things and focus on the good.

My arms were quite veiny in the gym earlier tho. Phlebotomist's dream.
Foreshortened shot of my arm with a swollen spiderweb of veins casting down from the bicep over the forearm, to the tiny tiny hand in the distance. My hand is not actually tiny tho it is just an effect of the photographic lens on my mobile phone. The nitrile gloves I wear in the lab are medium size so I guess I have medium size man hands.

Parents are rapidly collapsing into senility, we are fighting to get the NHS to accept my dad, who cannot remember our names, might have dementia. So I am on an emergency trip to Doncaster.

But life cannot be all fight and grief. I have stopped at a cute cafe for pancakes and they're adorable

Oh it's provincial pride, have a slightly teasing mirror selfie
I am kinda defined and muscled and pulling an expression I am unsure of. If you could peek just over the mirror you would see my cock, but you can't so you won't
