Hard same, was a Readers Digest book of the unexplained for me though. Looked like an elderly lady limb 😳

Excellent work 👍. See, public libraries are fabulous resources!

child's drawing the USS motherfucker boldly fucking your shit up

this is where I post from if you even care

Lovely of Richard to say this but I’m sure he must be lying here because someone else popped in to tell me it’s not funny and they seemed to be a person who is very sure about the rightness of their opinions about everything.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

In the office? Or at home? Got questions but sending sympathies

A lovely mossy boulder with a face. I walked past this venerable stone gentleman on Dartmoor when I was beginning to write my first novel, Villager, and it whispered all 104,000 words of the book to me. So now I have to pay it all of my royalties. Unfortunately my ex-publisher stopped paying me royalties last year. Understandable, the boulder was not happy. But now I have a new publisher and the book is being republished this Thursday. So remember if you purchase a copy you will be helping a boulder to eat, pay the rent on his riverside moss garden, and feed his boulder family.

Yes it could be argued that keeping up with world events is important but alternatively can I interest you in hugging an ancient mossy boulder that looks like a face and quietly listening while it tells you stories from centuries cloaked in mist.

POV: you are so locked into a modern first-person identity bubble that for the set up to any piece of ‘content’, you need to be offered a three letter cue to try and imagine yourself somewhere else and in someone else’s mind before starting to take in story data.

The ocean is so friendly. All it does is wave at you.

They will have heard it before

Saw Trump described here earlier as living in the liminal space of recovery from wisdom tooth removal anaesthetic and … yup

Every time I walk past this bit of fallen tree I can't help imagining it scuttling around, crablike, after sundown, and getting up to no good.

crazy that the only reason we know about the gravity crisis is because of the bodycam footage of that cop’s apple fritter floating up into the sky. the lid was blown off the whole conspiracy by a guy calling for backup in tears and demanding they find his breakfast

This is great. My request is that they stop using present tense for long past events. Can we team up or is this another channel to request?
