Doing a food experiment at the moment, trying to cook kale and chicken thighs in the oven together. There's a bit of chicken stock and tomatoes and pine nuts in the container too 'cos I really hasn't thought about what I was doing before I did it.

Hope it works out, I really can't be bothered cooking anything else tonight if it all goes sideways..

If Superman went on Zoom and put on the glasses filter thing, would everyone think he was Clark Kent? 🤔

Seriously, the reason I'm on here right now is because I'm taking a break from trying to sleep.

Excellent lecture by Dr Ella Cockbain on the 'grooming gangs' narrative in the UK and the harms caused by it's framing.

I get the argument about providing content for a platform owner I fundamentally disagree with, but please don't make the mistake of assuming it's not a thing that people don't think about in any depth. That implication could well say more about you than about them.

A question I see on here repeatedly is, paraphrased,"why are you still on Twitter when it profits bad people?"

Partly it's because I have a history of calling out fascism and general bigotry, and deleting my account would erase all the times I've questioned those views where it may have helped someone to see opposing views.

I have a question for all you more experienced #CoSoNauts.

Is it possible to search for a thing in regular text that isn't hashtagged?

For example, I saw something in the firehouse about space lasers. I've tried all the common variation of that term - laser, lasor, lazer, lazor etc, plural versions included, but with no results showing.

Occasionally I pop over to the bird site if I see a link here to it. On today's visit, it struck me that the blue tick is actually a good thing - It's kinda cool to see people openly advertise that they're most likely a dick.

There's a great short story called Reason, by Isaac Asimov. I first read it decades ago, but was reminded of it just now after seeing quite a few religion-centred posts here. Not being religious myself, it pretty much sums up my approach to those who are.

Hmmm. I guess she hasn't changed much..

Don't be fooled by the cute, innocent look. She's recently taken to chasing me up the stairs, wrapping her paws around my leg and giving a good, hard CHOMP...

For those of you in the#UK with #BBC iPlayer - This Is Spinal Tap has just popped up on there. Classic mock-documentary comedy, well worth a watch if you haven't seen it, especially if you're into rock/metal music 🙂

I think I've just been threatened by the New Yorker 😬

Just when I thought Andrew Tate was the cringiest guy on the planet - just been made aware of his 'music' under the pseudonym Mr Plenty 😂
