On the plus side, I arranged my new fixed rate mortgage before the Tangerine Tantrum decided to kick off a war for no readily apparent reason, so I dodged the increased interest rates a lot of banks have already started to charge.

My brain is being decidedly uncooperative at the moment. At least I haven't had any repeats of the waking up thinking I might be imminently dead though, so that's a bonus. And I got a jar of really nice mustard today, so there's that.
"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adultsβRachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebeβliving in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.
I'm worried when Kristi Noem finds out she's been fired she's going to become America's first obedience school shooter.
Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas sounds about as legit a post as the FIFA Peace Prize.

Exactly! My brain is an utterly dramatic queen.
It's uncharacteristically dramatic for me!
Woke up in the middle of the night sobbing that I didn't want to die. Which was fun. I know the world's gone to shit at the moment, but really, brain? Not cool.
I might be a tiny bit biased because I work there but I think Merrymac does some of the finest timeline cleansing on bluesky. A+ follow IMO.
I'm Bristolian, and I didn't know that either!
My nephew has been allowed to contact his partner to let her know that although he can't say where he is, at the moment at least, he's safe. I just hope this stops before the Orange Farquaad kills many more people.
Thank you <3 Last time he was in the Middle East, he was late home because Israel was sending bombs over Iraq, so he had to spend the best part of a week in a bunker. I just hope he can get home safely when he's meant to, and not get stuck somewhere this time.
My brain is struggling with the world today. My nephew, an RAF engineer, is currently deployed to Jordan. Well, I say Jordan, that's where he was initially sent, but he's been radio silent for about a week now and not able to let us know where he is. I just hope he isn't caught up in Trump's war.
My social algorithms may be a bit hit and miss, but my Vinted is spot on. I love unusual Christmas decorations, and today it presented me with a lovely Ugandan Santa and children for Β£3 plus postage. He's on his way to me now :)
It's a bit late now he's been stripped of his titles and styles, but surely one of the red tops (probably the Star) should have referred to the Andrew formerly known as Prince as "His Royal High-nonce"?
βBad Bunnyβs performance isnβt just the story of the ascendancy of a single performer, or of one genre,β Noah Shachtman writes. βItβs the sign of something bigger still. Americaβs pop culture is today multilingual, polycultural and international at its very core.β
today i learned that ski jumpers' heavily regulated ski suits are measured by taking a 3d scan of the size of the skiier's genitals and now some skiiers are being accused of shooting hylauronic acid into their dongs to get more favorable measurements www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/f...
My lilac yarn still hasn't turned up, so I've given up and ordered some from The Evil Empire... er... Amazon. But while I'm waiting I've made a cute bumble bee beanie, because I had all the right colours for that.
Does anyone sell subatomic sized violins?
I'm frustrated this evening. A friend's 2 year old daughter was recently diagnosed with leukaemia, so I've been making little hats all week. Problem is I now have two hats I can't finish because Royal Mail are incapable of delivering to a deadline. I have got three finished though.
I just want to go to St Fagans to see the Terrance Higgins quilt, but bloody Cardiff Bus don't make it easy, to put it bluntly.
My favourite is blue Barman π
Morning.
I found a single seat between two large family groups at the Horrible Histories concert. I was a bit worried about going to a family show on my own as a 52 year old woman, but each group seems to think I belong to the other. I'm just here because I love HH at least as much as all these kids!
My cat tried to steal my mochi. I've never seen anything like a small cat with a tiny piece of mochi in his mouth trying to cope with the stretchy, sticky texture with an expression that suggested he'd made a tactical error. He doesn't eat much human food, but when he does, it's always very random.
BARBARISM: Captured Russian troops are being compelled by Ukrainian special forces to watch the Melania βmovieβ.

I am not sure why, with everything going on in the world, my brain came up with Prince wearing Che Guevara's hat, but I had to doodle it.
