I have just been flayed alive by episode 4 of a kid's TV show. What even is City of Ghosts?

The poster for Netflix series City of Ghosts, showing a bird with some red string standing on top of a kid's tape recorder. All items feature in episode 4 of the show, which has just destroyed me emotionally

I have wrongfully detained the cats this morning, and this is their gentle reminder of the principles laid down in UK law.

"Yeah, habeas corpus, m[elon]f[arm]er"

A hand with an inch-long gash down the side, delivered by an angry cat's righteous hind leg as I wrestled said cat into the carrier to go to the vets

Plagiarism is definitely something to be avoided, especially when taking a stool sample.

Dear Lazyfit,
Your advert asserts that I will see results after two weeks, and after 3 weeks my ex will be begging me to come back. Respectfully, fuck no. I had enough problems getting rid of her last time round, and that was 25 years ago.
Yours,
Me

Pictures, especially of people, in PowerPoint presentations should be cropped to fit and not stretched or squashed. I take this as seriously as it should be taken by everybody, ie extremely, you deformatory bastards

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Right, can we all just agree that the first ever Nobel Prize for Cojones should be awarded to Greta Thunberg this year?

Now, my line of work often presents me with some excellent names, but Radio 4 just interviewed the father of Corporal Nimrod Cohen...

Corporal
Nimrod

Gentle reminder for anyone living in the UK thinking about integration this morning: people need something to integrate with. If the White Flight left you with nothing but racist job ends, then yeah, integration is not a responsibility that's really yours...

The first page of a comic that my daughter drew. @neillcameron.bsky.social @jamiesmart.bsky.social

Comic page hand drawn by a 7 year old. Three panels going down the page. First panel: the end of a robot arm (possibly a laser) and the sound effect 'click'. Second pattern a robot arm with a grabber hand and the sound effect 'click'. Third panel: an angry robot face, green features on black screen, and the sound effect 'click'

Oooo, massive anxiety spike... Now I remember why I don't apply myself at work... "Sit with my feelings", you say? No thank you, they're fucking terrifying...

Just gonna pop this here...

A forbidden sign (red circle with a line through it) containing the iconic litter sign (pointy stick man dropping some litter into a bin) and the bin has the word ESOL on it (English for Speakers of Other Languages). The image bemoans the historical and continuing tradition in Further Education Colleges to dump non-native speakers onto ESOL courses instead of properly supporting their language needs on one's own vocational course.

New crap joke just dropped

An image of several shelves full of toy animals from famous manufacturer Schleich. Three speech bubbles have been added, repeating the phrase "watch us wreck the mike", in reference to pop music lyrics from the 1990s (PJ and Duncan). The company name appears at the bottom of the frame to complete a terrible pun on the original lyric, "psyche"

SADLY DISEASED @ewacat.bsky.social

Screen grab from a local Facebook group showing a post about a white cat which is described as 'sadly diseased' rather than 'sadly deceased'

I made a Lego robot

A totally awesome mech robot made out of a load of random Lego pieces I had lying around. Two legs, big sloping body, one arm has a little hand and the other is a big four-barrelled cannon thing

The same robot as before, two legged nanoscale mech robot made out of Lego, with a close up of the large four-barrelled cannon, kind a perspective foreshortened effect going on. It looks pretty cool and dynamic

This film is astonishing. Beautiful, wordless, subtle and moving. If you really like little black cats and you're worried, it might be worth an important spoiler, which is in the comments:
