Going to reframe all my older game coverage as "You see that tiny flag in the background? Someone actually sat and thought that up and the drew it all by themselves." "Every line spoken by this minor character was actually written in full by a person. This was something that happened all the time."

[UK] Annual reminder - Lidl and Aldi have announced their cheap veg deal for Xmas is 19th-24th, so no doubt Tesco etc will be same.
8p an item there, I think 15p at Tesco, you can get things like a big bag of potatoes, bag of carrots, bag of sprouts, a swede, or a parsnip.

Please help my friend and brother Mohamed if you can. He lost his land to the security buffer zone established in the cease fire and remains in the Al Mawasi camp in Gaza trying to keep his family alive.
Hi, Mohammed's friend here.
Today he sent me these before-and-after photos of his little farm. I'm sure you'll enjoy them as much as me.
Please share and donate if you can. I know he's truly grateful for your continued support even through his current absence.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

This reminds me of when people go "but I'm tired too". Yes, you're tired after a hard day's work. I'm tired when I wake up.
I have friends with anxiety. If I have to phone somewhere I think "Ugh I hope I'm not on hold for ages" and call. My friends have to genuinely work up to it.

Right, but is it that we’re “forgotten life can be stressful” or is it that neoliberal capitalism doesn’t allow us to have natural, normal reactions to stress, so we seek treatment? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
