Been seeing this for a bit, guess it's random scrapers hoping folks won't block traffic if they think it's from a 'brand' name.

Guess that's what we get when the referrer header is based on the honour system and you can put what the heck you like.

Oh good, the spammers have found sharing Google sheets as a way to sell their shitty links again. Sigh

The pull signs, and total lack of handles lead me to believe this is an area only accessible to those with sticky hands.

I think I have found the secret Spiderman society HQ

It would have been rude not to, after all. What's the saying? "when in Rome, be in Dublin and have a pint of Guinness."

Something like that anyway.

Arrived in Dublin for the Google product experts summit, and what a glorious day it has laid on.

That's 22.7% less youth corrupted for sure.

I like the app experience, it doesn't tell you you can't see the silly pictures, but in a very current state of the union way, it did (further down) contain an ad to buy a English flags. Probably also step ladders that reach up lampposts ad somewhere too.

Make sure to party with one of these (even though it's clearly not passing on the 75th)

And it will thank you if you can keep it quiet out there.

Can I offer you a cute cat face in these trying times?

That's some unfortunate, or potentially fortunate depending on your viewpoint, text truncation

I think it needs chunks

In the form of chunky kit kats.

It will do fuck all for this too, but at least you have a nice, chocolatey treat.

Love the random shots that Google photos surfaces sometimes, here's odd assuming the pose and strutting her stuff. I was trying to take pics of products for an e-commerce site so used to run, it was a welcome distraction.

Pyramid head is just so cute.
