I love bees - they power the planet by feeding us.
But.
Why have they chosen to make a very messy nest in a bird box in our very small garden?

My guilty pleasure?
Occasionally logging into Twatter to see who still hasn't given up supporting the rancid platform, and making a mental list.
It has no effect on the world at all, but gives me an odd sense of satisfaction knowing who to avoid.

Struggling with the fact a union I am a member of has moved to using an app called 'My Glue'
For someone growing up at the tail end of The Ramones era..... It's a bit on the nose.
Badoom.

Insomnia and doom scrolling observations: Part 255.
Instagram bands advertising their music have the wildest names.
Today's winner? Nunsofthetundra.
A wimple is not a sensible clothing choice for that environment and has a high risk of 'The Flying Nun' effect in the high winds.

I usually do well constructing meals around my visits to the Tesco reduced section, but today I lost cheap food roulette.
And 'lo - I doth sit on my throne of porcelain from half past the hour of 2am.
Curse you cheap sun dried tomato and mozzarella salad pot!

That was a great run of bopping Nazis on the head with various implements.

Sat in Nero's in Glasgow:
Woman: don't want to leave my bag unattended
Man: just leave it, nobody will lift it.
Me: imagining grabbing the bag, waiting for them to return and standing, waving the bag and shouting TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS! DON'T LISTEN TO HIM!
So, coming off the meds is going well.

What timing... anyone helping to prop up the platform want to adopt the Elongated Muskrat method of excitedly engaging their audience? No?
Interesting to see people who decamped to #bluesky en-masse but can't...quite... stop shelving their morals to post on Twatter.
Hardly surprising. When you work for billionaires (whatcha going to do?) but saddens me.
Will the TikTok debacle wake people up? When will this place get a bit Musky? 🤔

Lol.
People losing their minds about the #tiktokban on both sides of the argument.
Imagine if everyone concerned put their energy into something fun and worthwhile - the possibilities! :D

Painters and decorators out there.
Is there an unwritten rule that any quote that includes painting a white ceiling white is automatically doubled cos fuck trying to complete the job without missing a bit?
Because you should. Rant completely unrelated to painting the ceiling yesterday, of course.

How do I get a Yellow Warning for Rain and Snow with this unseasonably warm outlook? Warning should be 'Careful, umbrellas may turn inside out and hair will get damp making you look a bit wild when ordering a skinny latté.."

Enjoying being in my own #indianajones movie playing the game.
Trying to see how far I can get without using my revolver - so far, stotting fascists over the head with brooms, candlesticks and wrenches is doing the trick nicely. Good fun game.
