Old guy climbs up ladder to put flags on lampposts, falls off, and dies. Guy gets mostly positive coverage.

You can die from being a terminal dipshit and the British press will publish loving eulogies of you.

A split-panel meme comparing "November" and "December."

Left Panel: Under the text "November:", a cartoon man with brown hair and a purple shirt is shown with his face buried in his hands, appearing distraught, stressed, or crying.

Right Panel: Under the text "December:", the exact same image of the distraught man is used, except he is now wearing a festive red Santa hat on his head.

@oblomov I've used the HiBy R4 and I can say its pretty great. It is very bulky though, its like carrying around another phone that's also twice as thick. Ive recently been using a Snowski Echo Mini and I really like it. It plays FLAC, its no bigger than a matchbox, holds days worth of charge, and takes both 3.5mm and 6.35mm headphones.

@fkamiah17 Ah, an article based on a report they can't source and won't let us see backed up by the notorious rascist and open misogynist Richard Kemp...

@fkamiah17 lmao even his 'eye catching front page highlights' are devoid of charisma and impact

@dysfun @schratze they'll raise my monitor up more than they ever did my programming skills (insult to me, not the books)

@schratze I'm avoiding leveling up because if I dont press my tofu, then what else am i supposed to use my 'art of programming' textbooks for?

@0xabad1dea aaaaah, my favourite big dog personality trait

does odin have a comically small chair he can pose in?

@0xabad1dea did odin post this

Before christmas I started to feel a little insane at the idea of putting together a resource I can check when job hunting to assure myself I'm not accidentally working with fascists or sympathisers, but the response to recent events is making it seem fairly sane.

@GossiTheDog Honestly a good idea.

"komm, susser tod" rolling into the playlist when I'm starting to get the "end of paper" blues feels a little too appropriate

I love how SciFi orbital laser satellites are badass looking and named shit like 'the hammer of god' then are almost always completely ineffective and destroyed instantly

@BigTittyBimbo the prime real estate! Hope it goes well!

@BigTittyBimbo what you getting inked bimbo?

The funniest thing about the Musk fake gamer arc is that he could have done the exact opposite and it would be effective propaganda for him.

Like, if he played himself off as a hard-working, end-of-the-day dad gamer, so many of the dumbasses that orbit near him would absolutely propagate it and get him positive press. Instead he had to be the best to the point where it was obvious he wouldn't have enough time and skill to be where he is.

SpaceX starship failure was captured by Reddit user balsadust while they were in flight and the footage is spectacular

Oh hell yeah, Bristol City Council have voted in favour of divestment 🤘

Maybe this is a good time to pick up that book about running your own email
