1 Me: He froze like a deer in the headlights.
2 Deer: Okay tough guy, what would you do?
Me: It’s just an expression.
3 Deer: No, no, no. You’re standing there, suddenly all you see is a blinding light. What’s your plan? I want to hear it.
4 Me, frowning: I would freeze.
Deer: I fucking thought so.

I used to be in a few facebook groups of people selling material and I had to leave because I kept buying material and doing *nothing* with it

I actually frogged something recently that I'd made years ago but never worn because I didn't like it on me, and it felt really good! I can now use the yarn for other things!

Update: I now have 6 hexagons (out of the 23 needed for the full blanket), and I have buckled & bought more yarn. Which may render some of the existing hexagons replaceable.

If anyone is into knitting or crochet, a Bantry business that was hit by the floods could really do with a bit of support. #speirgorm

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.

Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

Default Emotions Missing Caffé Nero obviously isn't a failure. But it feels like one.

Just a small piece I've been thinking about for a while. It's about homesickness feeling like failure, and how I do miss Caffé Nero and bird hides, but don't miss mandatory shoes and Farage's smug face. Somehow, this is about perfectionism. open.substack.com/pub/puzzledb...

Here's the consultation i mentioned at #sotb26 I'm not kidding when I told you that the regularlors love to hear from developers rather than lobbyists. Doesn't need to be a structured doc. You can be anonymous. They simply want hear to your view. brucelawson.co.uk/2026/on-appl...

Following @kitation.co.uk’s talk at #SotB26 today, we’ve decided that browsers need a “prefers-reduced-spiders“ setting.
