My son bought me what I thought was a drill. Turned out to be a toblerone gaffer-taped to a bottle of Bailey’s.

@cathhirons.bsky.social spooling through this thread of Gary Larson cartoons and this one made me laugh so much thinking about James and his sleep procrastination…!

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Royal Mail have written a GDPR policy for their letter to Santa scheme that is a) pitched at children explaining how their data is used and b) fully committed to the existence of Father Christmas and it’s just… really cute

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!

Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.

Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

@cathhirons.bsky.social OMG ask Durham if this is true!
Today's piece of #PointlessPedantry is that these are not cannon. Artillery pieces on ships are known as guns (unless they are C17 42 pounders, when gun calibres were identified by name, not weight of shot).

The fact that these fire roundshot, not cannon balls can wait for another day.

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport.

Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably?

But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

Ever wondered where all the Cheers title photos are from? I did. And I've gathered everything I can find into this post. That was fun.

Pretty sure I met Tweed Shacket and Patriot Gilet during my year in Oxford doing a PGCE. They were at All Souls and had just started a small "fun" business selling North African blankets at music festivals. They now both work for MI6.
Hahaha oh fuck off

As I said on Twitter, back in the day, WW1 / WW2 is just an endless list of German battleships called something like the "Admiral Ripper von Murderboat" getting the shit kicked out of it by HMS Sunflower.

There will come a day when the NHS does not require me to complete "mandatory eLearning" to prove I can use the same ePrescribing system I have used for half a decade across multiple employers simply because I am moving down the road to a new workplace...

...it is not this day
