And this, fellow humans, is how misinformation starts. My local Reach Plc news outlet on Facebook doing what it does best over Anne Widdicombe’s death. This spirals and snowballs into lies and unhelpful speculation.

Waiting in the hottest waiting room ever for a Sunday CT scan. Wish me luck 🤞

I think corporations need to be better at saying to their R&D people that their ideas are horrible and they should go home right now.

So @bsky.app decides to implement an interesting social media strategy. Instead of courting potential new users on Threads, nah, just insult them instead. The comments are mostly made up of Bluesky users deleting their account because, fun fact, people use both.

It would be ok if there wasn't so much lightning.

We had chips last night. Air fryer, hand made. Using a certain amount of potato starch and some soaking really raises the game of your chips. It doesn't elevate. It improves them considerably. I do wish everyone would stop using the word 'elevates' in the context of food.

A white leaf-patterned plate bearing thick-cut chips piled high over a side salad of mixed leaves, red onion rings and cherry tomatoes, alongside pieces of chargrilled chicken with a dark glossy sauce, set on a mustard-yellow table surface.

Close-up of thick, hand-cut chips with blistered golden skin and a pale, fluffy interior, piled on a white plate with a green leaf motif, a dark sauce visible in the background.

A simple black-and-white cartoon shows two hikers standing inside a dark cave. One hiker looks angry and is staring into an open backpack. Instead of flashlights, the bag contains two pink-frosted fleshlights. The second hiker stands beside him wearing a backpack and a beanie, looking oblivious. A caption below reads: “Higgins, you fool! I said to pack flashlights!” The joke relies on the similarity between the words “flashlights” and “fleshlights.” The cartoon is signed by The Oatmeal.

I feel it should be mandatory to have a takeaway from an independently owned establishment on a Saturday night. When I rule the world, it will be enshrined into law.

The exterior of a brick building featuring a storefront. A red sign above the windows reads "The Golden Wok Chinese Takeaway." Several people are sitting inside, visible through the large front glass windows.

An overhead view of a black stovetop covered with open Chinese takeout containers. The food includes a plate with a spring roll, foil trays containing rice and stir-fried meat with vegetables, a small tub of red sauce, and a white paper bag holding fried dough balls.

Black-and-white close-up of wet seaweed and patches of sand on a shoreline. Dark strands of seaweed form swirling, textured patterns across the frame, contrasting with lighter areas of sand and foam-like sediment. The abstract composition creates a rugged, organic appearance with no clear horizon or focal point.

Obligatory lunch photo

A toasted sandwich cut into two pieces sits on a white plate held in one hand. Dark grill marks run across the bread, with melted filling visible at the edges. The background is softly blurred, showing a bright living room with large windows, houseplants, a television, and furniture.

Danes Wood, near Exeter have better foxgloves than your mum's.

A tall stalk of purple foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) stands in sharp focus against a soft, blurred background of green foliage and small pink wildflowers. The flower spike features numerous bell-shaped, magenta-purple blooms that gradient to a lighter pinkish-purple near the top, with unopened buds crowning the tip. The scene is brightly lit by natural sunlight, highlighting the vibrant colors of the wild garden setting.

It was almost harder than Burnout I'd argue. I never managed to complete Burnout, maybe one day.

Last night in #Cornwall and as usual I can't wait to return. Stumbled into a 'locals spot' in Laneath Village Hall just outside #Looe, #thetipsycow Thursday is burgers night. And boy they do a good #burger 🍔

Close-up of a stacked burger on a wooden board. Glossy brioche bun on top, held with a short skewer. Layers include grilled meat slices, melted cheese, red onion rings, and mixed greens. Sauce visible under the top bun. In the background, a glass of white wine and an empty wine glass, softly out of focus.

The humble sausage roll has a surprising history! #foodsky #foodhistory #video

Christy Pancakes 🥞@food404· Apr 20

🧵Greggs is the Reality TV of the bakery world. Difficult to understand the appeal, yet people keep finding reasons to watch — mostly out of morbid fascination and habit. Cheap, acceptable, purely functional. I was completely addicted to their sausage rolls when I worked at the college, so (1/6)

I'm writing silly videos. I think it's for my own amusement more than anything. This is about Danes Wood near #Exeter - there are a lot of AI created bits, so yeah 🤷‍♂️

If you're not doing this, is it even Easter?

A tabloid-style newspaper front page.
Headline at top reads “EASTER WORLD RECORD”.
Main bold text says “I STUCK 9 CREME EGGS UP MY BUM”, with the number 9 in large red font.
On the right side, there is a photo of a man’s face with a neutral expression.
At the bottom right, there is an image of wrapped Cadbury Creme Eggs.

Reach PLC doing a great job at local journalism. This is the Mayor of Bath... 🫠 #exeter #devon

A Facebook post from Exeter Live shows a smiling older man with short white hair and glasses, wearing a dark pinstripe suit and a red tie with small elephant patterns. He stands in front of a brick building.
Text above reads, “I am incredibly apologetic that I have not lived up to the standards I set myself.”
Headline below says, “Exeter’s TV pandemic expert resigns as Mayor.”

Orcombe Point in #Exmouth #beach #Devon - misty afternoon with the dog. This end of the beach is much easier to walk if you are less mobile. Sad to see so much sand has washed away but it's fascinating to see the new rock formations which have been uncovered.

Red sandstone cliffs stretch along a misty coastline. A shallow tidal pool sits in the foreground, ringed by dark rocks and patches of green seaweed. Wet sand and scattered stones lead toward the water. The sea lies to the right under a pale, overcast sky. Small figures walk in the distance at the base of the cliffs. The air looks foggy and cool.

Fear not, I found my insults folder.

Grid of colourful photo tiles on a smartphone screen. Each tile shows a scenic background with a large white word overlaid. The words are crude British insults and slang. Visible examples include “BUCKETAD,” “SHITPOUCH,” “PISH,” “JIZZSTAIN,” “NONCE,” “PISSKIDNEY,” “WAZZOCK,” “FANNY,” and a large central tile reading “BELLEND.” A toolbar with share, edit, and add icons sits across the lower centre of the screen.

Possibly Facebook groups might be a good plan if you can do it at a later date

Found this I took a couple of years ago in the archives. #exmouth #blackandwhitephotography #bnw #devon

Black and white photo of a quiet shoreline under a cloudy sky. Small waves roll onto wet sand marked with scattered footprints. To the right, a short wooden groyne extends into the water. A tilted post with a triangular navigation marker rises from the end. Faint hills sit low on the distant horizon.

I wrote a small thought about Zukis in Exeter. I'm still getting the hang of Substack, not entirely convinced. open.substack.com/pub/foo404/p...
