Tonight's read #pageagainstthemachine

Front cover of FEMINA: A new history of the Middle Ages, through the women written out of it, by Janina Ramirez

Such low energy haircuts. I'd have loved it

Doctor Who (Jon Pertwee), who has a wonderful silver bobble head, talks to two space-humans with proper mops of shaggy blond hair. For subterfuge reasons the space humans are wearing snoods

Daniel Wood@danielgwood· 25d

Ah "Planet of the Daleks", where the Daleks team up with a bunch of people wearing snoods to battle Jon Pertwee and a bunch of people with terrible 70s haircuts

A Dalek gives orders to 3 people hiding underneath jazzy purple snoods

"Oh look, a compulsory #Windows update has blocked me from using my computer for 20 minutes. I wonder what useful things they've added this time"

Screenshot from the latest Windows update, boasting about how the "big clock" is back. Yes, it's the clock from the task bar, which now has the ability to show you seconds (again, apparently).

TFW you're having a shower and there are two chameleons staring in the window at you #perverts

Blurry photo through of 2 small green chameleons in a tree at night

After the bullshit and the sale last year my Guardian subscription was not looking safe...but pull all that shit and then increase the price an insane amount...byeeee

Daniel Wood@danielgwood· Dec 9

Was trying to think of the word "paragon", got stuck on

Yep, it's Porygon from Pokémon generation 1. 25 years later and still living rent free in my head that can't remember human faces

Bonsoir Bluesky ! Here's the sunset from the beach earlier... #visitmadagascar #sunset

A bright orange sunset over the gentle waves fades into deep blue. A single star is visible in the sky. The hillside and palm trees frame the shot

Good morning Bluesky! Here's a dawn photo of our beautiful town from about 10 years ago when I was still capable of getting up at that time to mix cement all day.

Dawn over a picturesque bay, gentle waves lapping the deserted sandy shore, and lightly misted mountains in the background

Name a TV show nobody remembers but you.

4 people with extremely 90s haircuts and outfits pose in a "we're supposed to be serious but also very mildly sexy way" in front of some neon lighting. Yes, it's TV sensation BUGS!

I guess I'll just go back to bed then?

I think the kites are trying to work out if I'm dead yet

Good morning Bluesky! Today I'm taking a sick day to lie in a hammock and sneeze

A brightly coloured hammock in the foreground, shaded by a palm tree. In the distance the bright blue sky meets the ocean

All "helpful prompts" in software should come with a Dismiss button

Screenshot of the "Add birthdays" prompt from Google Contacts. It's suggesting that I save the birthdays of 3 contacts: Telma Balance, phone number #357#, Telma 100, phone number #322*67# and Telma Balance Offers, phone number #359#

Celebrating video with a clip of one of our stray dogs and the amazing burrow she decided to dig one day. RIP Princess ❤️

Please enjoy this brilliant metaphor that has been parked in my local health centre for a few years now. For non-French speakers the sticker reads "Fight against COVID-19" #covid19 #coronavirus

An extremely rusty white truck parked on a grassy verge. The wheels are falling off, the roof has caved in, and the back is falling off. A large peeling orange sticker on the side proclaims "Lutte contre COVID-19"

Hahaha there are definitely fun parts of The Mummy. Fortunately I'm safe from Van Helsing tonight though, I thought of something similarly terrible to watch...

Vampires, wet behind the ears Americans, bad effects and Sean Connery not really trying? Yes, it's 2003's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen!

Watch this space! (Hopefully about a year from now the house I never thought I'd own will be on it)

A fairly empty plot of land with just about discernable trenches dug for foundations

Me: *dying of laughter* Girlfriend: ... Girlfriend: ... Girlfriend: WHAT?

Screenshot of some cashew nuts growing on a tree from Agrimanga's Instagram

Same screenshot zoomed in on the central cashew, which appears to have a face

Zoomed in again, the central cashew nut has a proper gremlin face

Damn water tower collapsed didn't it.

Front porch of my house featuring a somewhat less than vertical wooden water tower and the distant remains of a water butt

A burst water butt. I don't think it will hold water now...

Mention Happy Birthday

Daniel Wood@danielgwood· Dec 1

Was supposed to be going on an epic moto roadtrip this weekend to install a weather station in the south of Madagascar, but last night we had >70mm of rain (about a month's worth!), and the roads have turned into soup. I guess not now 😬

An unpaved, extremely muddy road that has been churned up by loads of vehicles. A 4x4 and an open-bed lorry are struggling through it.

I wish I had the same energy as this cereal box in the mornings

Cereal box, with a massive cartoon WOW across most of the front. Top croustillant indeed.

Reminds me of this helpful guide I made for a friend

Urban Identification Guide. Clockwise from top left: Keith Urban, Karl Urban, the concept of urban decay and Pope Urban VIII

It’s an armored personnel carrier from the future—what Bladerunner would have driven

It's Sir Killalot from Robot Wars of course!
