How is iPlayer still this shit? Like, this is graphics/design 101 - the first lesson. Make sure to not use light font on a white/light background. For a state broadcaster to fail this basic rule is nuts. Must be the 50th time I've seen something like this now.

The only way I can read it without changing the window size.

Does anyone know any good agencies for freelance or remote work, ideally in the UK or Germany? Editorial/marketing mainly, but I’m open to suggestions

Oh my DAYS

I've caved :c

At my wits end with the upstairs neighbours, 2 fucking 30 am and they're just stomping about willy nilly. High as a kite no doubt. I enjoy getting high - but never if it'd become an issue. This cunt upstairs just doesn't give a shit. Insufferable cunt, I hope their landlord fucking catches on

I really do think that we, as a fandom and a community, are failing hard when it comes to artists etc still using twitter. So so so many artists, many of them extremely popular, are still using that hell site. Exposure/engagement is not an excuse anymore, not with what that place has turned into.

There's many artists I'd love to commission, but I won't, simply because to them several hundred likes/shares at the nazi bar is worth more than a single shred of integrity.

Alternate universe where TF potions are real but so are cheaper versions from China... Cut to me wondering what the fuck "temporarily permanent" means on on the label of my German Shepherd TF potion from temu.

I think whatever kompromat the Russians have on Trump at this point is far far worse than we could ever image. There is no "he likes a strong man" argument here. They have footage of him raping young children, probably worse. The cult of MAGA and US 'Christians' will ensure he never sees justice

Every crime he's accused his opponents of is an admission. Every single one. The most horrific things he's levied at someone - that's small fry for this monster. I don't want to know the extent of the mans evils - but I do hope there is a hell.

Can't eat anything due to a hospital appointment... Haven't since 9ish last night. I'm fucking ravenous and am really planning some gluttony for this afternoon

Erm... No he doesn't (he's the veteran guiding a raw recruit) Do they poofread anything?

Yay, PTSD - ain't that a doozy.

Slugs truly are incredible creatures

Ott's the reason I think I'm more amusing than I am

Oh, more jalapenos... What could possibly go wrong 🙃

A furry sub-community having a mascot called 'Axis'... And running a competition with a big kink brand wanting "Axis-inspired" artwork is one of the most appallingly stupid/dumb things I've seen in the fandom for long time. Fuck me

I know a many furries who just don't and won't 'do' politics Please reconsider this approach, because bad actors... they do 'do' politics and we/you are a target Not asking that you join a movement, go in neck deep or glue yourself to something. Just be aware, and follow it enough to stay informed

This is funny, it really is. However. I don't think I have any "keep politics out of furry uwu" people following me, but if i do, you need to think about this. No amount of keeping it SFW is going to be enough for him. They will make your hobby political, and owning that is our only defense.

When enough people don't do politics, the fanatics get their claws in (kinky? Nah) That way - horrors commense. People are easily manipulated, and where your best friend from school, your boss, your mum... yesterday were fine with you just existing... Tomorrow they might be shipping you to a camp

We already live in a country where children can chat "let them drown" at far right marches and it not make a splash in the headlines... but heaven forbid someone who's trans does a thing. It's fucking scary, but a head in the sand is not the way to go about it - for the sake of society/community

Still lookin for a place to rent! Lookin at peterborough/surrounding areas, and potentially manchaster. (But like could be elsewhere!) I need room for a lil workshop.. will live in your shed. No need to repost, but if ya know anyone do send em my why.

asked for an extra hot burger from Roadies tonight. God damn that was GOOD. Amazing how I can now just 'do' heat. We'll see where I'm at at 9am xD

I've only just fully woken up, no idea why I've been so tired today... Managed to hit stop instead of snooze at like 3:30 (was going to be a long lie in day regardless) The extra sleep has done nothing to wake me up

There's no better feeling than opening a box to a new GPU. Sadly it's for a rebuild of my old rig so not mine , but still there's a very specific bit of brain chemistry going on there xD

Two tier policing. Victoria Thomas Bowen, who chucked a milkshake at Farage, was given a 13-week jail sentence, suspended for 12 months; had to pay him £150 compensation; had to complete 120 hours of unpaid work and pay £450 in court costs. It was nowhere near the level of violence of this assault.

There's a certain recent event missing from the timeline provided here. A certain very recent change, funded/campaigned for by a shit-stain set of thunder cunts, passed into law by a shit-stain government, and omitted here by a shit-stain state broadcaster. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Good grief our local chippy is GOOD. Paced myself with the portion due to the jab - but holy shit that was just amazing. I'd eat the lot if I could xD

Massive artist, who's doing very well (on the surface) Posts about their birthday with a doodle and OF COURSE a link to things people can just... buy for them. The entitlement, I'm fairly certain it's more commonly an American thing, but it's utterly tone deaf given the current state of the world.

Said artist is still an avid user of twitter. No doubt the "I need it for work" excuse. Bore off, I adored twitter but once the Nazis took over I promptly left. Popular artists get so much in the way of a free pass on this shit, and it really needs to stop.

No one's art is good enough to justify the continued use of a platform owned by a man who would gleefully see them and anyone like them burned alive in a fucking ditch... Disappointing, dispiriting, disgusting if I'm frank.

It's not even essentials , or interesting things .... It's like.. tat. They're not struggling (so far as I can tell), so this blatant e-begging is getting under my skin far more than it should, esp given just how many are struggling to put food on their plates.

Reform voters are traitors. The party core consists entirely of people who've done the grand sum fuck all with their lives, except claim the glory their parents/grand parents They're generational parasites, violent, frustrated, and a far greater danger than any refugee or migrant. Pond life.

Irish bar opposite - again - has a damn good act on. Spoiled not this time by a cunt with a fiddle, but a cunt with a flute. Why can't they just let decent musicians be decent? Without some cliché stereotype forcibly injected. It's like a toddler with a recorder.
