I saw this headline and thought "oh good, we don't really want cops at pride, right?"

Reads further...

Transphobia

I should have known
BBC: police participation in Pride ruled 'unlawful' Article: A case was brought against Northumbria Police Chief Constable Vanessa Jardine by Linzi Smith, from Newcastle, who describes herself as a lesbian who is "gender critical". Article text: Ms Smith said she was "delighted" with the court's judgement, feeling the force had "abandoned their duty of impartiality and embraced a highly controversial political cause". "Their participation in the Pride march clearly shows where their sympathies lie," she said.

You: "oh noooOoo! Please don't throw nets at me! They won't work anyway! Nooo!"
Meme twitter posted edited to read: "I'm not falling for that hot take. That's clearly someone with a fetish for *being tied up in nets*. I refuse to participate in that kind of perversion."

I've managed to stop it scrolling for now by going full screen and then out but there is this weird offset colour artefact... Kinda hard to see in the image

I just wanna watch the new @masteringdnd.bsky.social episodes!
An image of a laptop screen showing the latest episode of Master Dungeons but the colours are shifted slightly like the effect of the old red-blue 3d screens.

Uhh new YouTube feature? Your video is now shifted 50% up and rapidly scroll across the screen...

It persists through refreshes, opening new tabs and even while the video is paused.

@googleyoutube.bsky.social what is happening?

Something about track-ball mice and the little joystick things apparently called pointing sticks but also called nipples...
Come to think of it joystick is close to something too

Got a bottle of proper maraschino liqueur for Christmas and so made a Casino cocktail as something which features maraschino rather strongly.

This stuff has a really unique flavour.
Cloudy white cocktail served in a coup with a maraschino cherry on a marble counter next to a bottle of Luxardo maraschino liqueur.

Made the fairytale of new York Sour just for the picture.
Unfortunately due to sugar and alcohol content the wine doesn't float but sinks, still looks cool.
Picture of a whiskey sour in a rocks glass with a Christmas tree in the background. The drink has a dark red to orange colour gradient from bottom to top.

So at the same time as the term originally used for women became gender neutral it became popular to add "smart" in front...
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised given the time-period.
Image shows Google search for "where does the phrase smart cookie come from" The text result reads: It appears to have struck people as a charming idiom circa the 1920s, when "cookie" became a positive slag term for a woman. Over the next 20 years it became popular with the adjective "smart", and seems to have really taken off in 1948, and by then had largely lost its feminine connotation.

This is the best view I could get. I think it's actually closer to 60% so maybe fizzy, mine or sprinkler?

Anyone have better info?
