The optimism of embossed metal maps of shopping centres. This is at the Gyle in west Edinburgh and was made in 1993. RIP John Menzies. I bought all my NMEs in you.
Just realised I’ll be in a theatre tomorrow night when the England game is on.
Instagram algorithm just put this in my timeline from a page called “Saddest photos of famous people just before they died” 😢
I have to get this nerdiness off my chest. Sam Neill's character in Jurassic Park is responsible for a huge myth about the T-Rex, that it couldn't see you unless you were moving. In the 30 odd years since it's now believed the T-rex may have had the best eyesight of any creature to have ever lived.
This panel is especially striking. (Apart from the AI artist character inexplicably wearing paint covered clothes and holding the picture with an unnaturally long arm) The idea that they deserve some kind of applause for theft is just bloody odd.
Sometimes I get a little reminder how small British Bluesky is. A former British MP who like her or hate her (it was mostly hate to be fair) was famous for decades is murdered and this isn't talked about as much as the mayor of a city 3000 miles away.
And my obligatory photo of the fire damaged buildings on Princes Street.
Most of the back of Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh is open after years and years. Saw this view for the first time in over a decade today. (Don’t think it’s been closed for quite that long but I moved away for 30 years didn’t I)
Edinburgh Zoo’s human enclosure. A famously shy creature, it may look empty but they’re probably there if you look hard enough.
And what is it with these arseholes that makes them try so hard to make the country they allegedly love into another country? That country being America.
I’m never normally remotely bothered by the Emmys but I just read that Kate O’Flynn and Dale Dickey are nominated for best supporting actress in a comedy series for Widow’s Bay (which has 19 nominations all together) I have no qualms about this.
In What randomly hurts today with Graeme Swanson I find my index finger is very sore and I have no idea why. Maybe I should stop going to meme reenactment club.
Ordering some picture frames so I can take photos of my postcards in order to sell more postcards. marswasrubbish.etsy.com
I’ve just set my instagram settings so no one one can “create” anything with my “content” If you’re an artist you might want to do this.
I'm not letting myself get excited about Nigel Farage's statement. I'm expecting some kind of Moe throwing Barney out political situation in the coming months. I think the only thing that's going to stop him is heart disease.
I remember the Lucille Ball one from a few years ago made some...interesting choices.
I posted this from Nighty Night once and someone thought it was real. I’m sort of sad it isn’t.
My photos: "Hey, remember when you got blocked by Sarfraz Manzoor and your friend sent you a screenshot in case you wanted a memento?"
