Surely if you were going to make Halloween themed hot dogs you’d call them Frank-N-Furters?

Like it’s even the 50th anniversary of the film’s release. Surely some crossover deal could have been arranged?

I’m irrationally angry about the lost opportunity.

I like how very niche this is. The French slang for medlars is even better: cul de chien.

This Oatmeal comic on AI art is one of the better things I’ve seen in the topic.

Going from not seeing at Eden in 2022 and not getting tickets for them in London back in June, I now have tickets for both London *and* Liverpool 🖤🖤🖤

100,000 people marched through London for trans rights and it barely got a mention a week later, but the BBC sends a fucking helicopter for rolling coverage of a few thousand fash.

I'm blind and for me alt text is the Big Special Thing about Mastodon. If someone posts a meme, I'm in on the joke. Someone shares beautifiul moss, or their cat, I'm in on the beauty or fun or whatever. I'm now 62, and this is the first time I entered a community and a culture where people grant me this kind of access and community. So grateful for people who do alt text.

@internetsdairy Oh, and Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli, and Slash from Guns and Roses (incl. hat) all on the same flight to LA. We’d splashed out on silly tickets.

@internetsdairy Marc Almond in a Waitrose, Jonathon Morris from Bread in a pub, less mundane but my partner kicked over Ed Sheeran’s guitar backstage (surprisingly this was by accident), Jon Snow in the lifts at work (he liked my hair), Boy George pissing in the bogs at The Fridge, and I only fantasised about pushing Simon Heffer in front of that tube train.

@bjoern The clitoris and penis develop from the same structure in the embryo and are - very broadly speaking - the same organ at two different scales.

Ploughing through refresher courses on fire safety and safeguarding and EDIC and GDPR and IT security and hoping very much the answer to "How can you avoid being phished?" is "Delete Outlook and never open another work email again."

Smashed my event PB at Eden Project by one whole second 😆 The course is beautiful and fun but the zizgag upward paths are a killer

Today's highly professional behaviour in the London office is playing Cuntissimo by Marina at an objectionable volume.

And the utter bastards have decided to use “AI” to read, and presumably ignore, half of those responses.

The time and emotional energy that everyone put in.

For nought.
