A video game mashup I had to check that they didn't make… then I realised that they only have claws for hands…

I think that Michael Owen "quote" doing the rounds is fake. On the actual BBC website it looks like this. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Got the giggles now. I still make some errors in French but not too many. Just been listening to French radio and both guest and host were talking about the social media site Linky-din!!. I shall now call it that for evermore!

Another video game mashup

This chart is insane. This shows Russia's casualties over time compared to Russia's territorial gains in Ukraine over the last five years. No sane or rational person would say continuing the war to try and take more of Ukraine's territory is worth the casualties.

Is he taking his brother with him?

Going out tonight for what appears to be the last hurrah for the fish and chip van. A combination of high diesel prices and overall costs means that they're shutting down, which is sad news. Not just for us but for the many small bars they used to park at, who also got a boost in trade.

This story went up late on Friday and got less attention than it otherwise might have done. A sentencing hearing on Friday was told three participants in the Tory election-betting scandal - dismissed at the time as "a flutter" - would have made nearly £50,000 if undetected www.ft.com/content/510e...

Currently dealing with Amityville levels of flies in the kitchen and utility room. Presumably, Opie has left mouse corpses somewhere and I'm trying my hardest not to just set fire to everything.

He's not wrong.

I know it’s early but my #Christmas card and gift wrap collection is now available in my online shop www.gailmyerscough.co.uk/christmas

Friend: AI is rapidly depleting our natural resources. Me: *shrug* Friend: Some AI researchers have warned it could destroy the human race. Me: Oh well. Friend: It’s risky to use em dashes now because your writing could be flagged as AI-generated. Me: THIS HAS GONE TOO FAR!

The Russians hacked Jared's phone. Then Dutch cyberspies then reverse-engineered that hack, giving them unprecedented access to his world. Bananas story in @vanityfair.com

Found a great way to confuse my neighbour. He watched me leave on a motorcycle and come back driving the car.

"They can start cutting people's faces up. They can stab someone. They can shoot someone." EXCLUSIVE: Our hidden cameras capture the leader of Turning Point UK organising a fake rally for a foreign government and helping arrange a murder-for-hire with loyalist paramilitaries.

Today’s Autumn Arrival Spotlight is the mighty-beaked Hawfinch! 🍂 A shy autumn migrant, these large finches are drawn to the UK’s woodlands, where they put their powerful bills to work cracking seeds. Have you spotted one?

Four new humane mousetraps arrived on Monday...

these bikes are made for jousting and that's just what they'll do one of these days these bikes are gonna break your lance in two

Only in the French charts would the story of a fisherman standing up against big business work. youtu.be/8jtA-uYv5Aw?...

My favourite French radio advert is potato-based. youtu.be/KBWCTYq3za4?...

I think we’ve found the headline of the year.

Revelers dressed as zombies filled the streets of Mexico City for the annual Zombie Walk, with many wearing elaborate costumes inspired by pop culture characters, including Michael Jackson's iconic ‘Thriller’ zombies. #zombiewalk #mexicocity #mexico #zombie

The stench of kitten poo from a litter tray (even one with a lid) is a remarkably effective alarm clock.

I genuinely saw this and thought “we’ve really moved a long way from slogans like ‘live, laugh, love’”

For the @b3ta.com kids TV horror challenge…

Fuck me, it has properly kicked off in The Big Town tonight.

This is important. Kitten update.

such a horrifying ending

There's a game for everyone.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Latest update from Fin the kitten.

Bumped into Sergeant Al Powell in Lidl just as he got a call about Nakatomi.

Someone liked my reply to this and it still makes me laugh, so...

Important news 🐇

An older French chap with a very expensive-looking tan, in very expensive-looking sportswear just turned up in the hamlet in a very expensive-looking new van to offer his exterior house cleaning services. Mate. I'm not even going to ask you for an estimate because I can already see how much it costs

I was listening to Test Match Special in the summer and laughed to myself thinking “this must sound like absolute cobblers to people who don’t understand it”. And I sort of understand what the gentleman here is saying, but it is, as all sports terminology is if you don’t get it, hilarious nonsense.

I double-checked this on a couple of Xitter stat sites and it's true. Average views of the main AfD account dropped 90% and average engagement dropped by 60%. This is commercial social media for you: bots, damn bots and Russian bots.

Kitten update.
