Used my extra hour in bed this morning to have a dream about cats racing in speedboats. It was very exciting, one cat even jumped into a rival boat to tussle with its captain

I like to think this is the blueprint for every story ever written

Spelling Mistakes Cost Lives@darrencullen.bsky.social

My nieces put a spell on me that turned me into a book. So I asked what the book was about and they said "Once upon a time there was an old man who smelled like poo."

Heard a single atom brushing lightly against my front door and apparently it was the postman knocking with a parcel.

Now that "greatest of all time" has become GOAT, is it possible to become the "GOATest of all time"? If so, how do we turn that into another acronym? GOATOAT?

are there any animals that have figured out using containers for carrying stuff around? I don't mean like a pouch or any other body part. I mean like a tool that they use for transporting stuff. Must be some examples of animal baggage out there.

Saw a man with no face today, sitting on a bench. Turns out it was a bald guy looking down at his phone with his sunglasses propped up on the top of his head, but for a brief moment i was transported to a world of cosmic terror

People keep mentioning "Piddington" and every time i read that word my brain puts an L in front of the i, like I can actually see it. Piddlington.

Had a dream last night where I made a copy of myself to get more stuff done. Then at the end of the dream I suddenly realised I was the copy, and I was like "now what am I meant to do? I can't just keep living this guy's life..."

This is a pretty well-worn idea in fiction, and now I'm wondering how far back it goes. I'm pretty sure there had to be an old fairytale where this happens?

Started buying the same food every week to make shopping simpler, and now I have to go to 3 different supermarkets whenever they run out of any of the particular things I eat. This is what killed the dinosaurs.

Great interview with sampling legend swedemason.

I've spent 20 years dishing it out, thought I'd give myself a taste of my own medicine. Hear me bang on for an hour or so here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Pws...

my eyesight is so bad now i saw this thumbnail and thought it said "How do wombles actually work?" I guess I'll never know

this became a bit more literal than i intended

They need to update that "Emperor's New Clothes" story and call it "The Emperor's New Bending Over & Spraying Projectile Diarrhea at Everyone"

Got this cool piece of merch from c90adventures on youtube: all his mini-jeep videos on a usb stick shaped like a mini-jeep. Makes me wonder what kind of nightmarish effigy i could put all my videos on

my internet went down for 2 hours and i was just sitting there staring at shelves of books and dvds thinking "now what am i supposed to do?"

Had a dream last night about skateboarding Columbo which was so convincing I had to google it this morning to check. There's no mention of Columbo bombing down a hill on a skateboard, but I guess that doesn't mean it didn't happen

Since dinosaurs are related to modern birds, the next Jurassic Park movie should totally have dinosaurs that can mimic human speech like a parrot. Instead of just roaring at people they could say something like "welcome to Jurassic Park!" before biting their heads off. I'd watch that.

There's a paradox that has been around forever but seems uniquely applicable to the modern world: the smarter you try and make a tool, the stupider it becomes. Using the internet these days feels like doing DIY with a swiss army knife

Being covered in ants sounds terrible, while being covered in kittens sounds kind of fun. But what if the kittens were the size of ants? How small would kittens need to be, to make the experience of being covered in them unpleasant?

Last night's dream started with a game show for monkeys and ended with Christopher Biggins snogging a clone of himself in "the future". Actually woke myself up laughing at how stupid it was

I was about to post an old gif to celebrate Sir Dave's 100th birthday, but it might genuinely be the most horrible thing I ever animated

After decades of research I am reaching the conclusion that no doorbell or phonecall that ever wakes you up is worth answering. I am prepared to hear evidence to the contrary though
