I think I'm going to need to watch the #Picard finale alone. Sentimental Fool.

Listening to a Karl Bartos album, it immediately becomes clear how integral he was to the Kraftwerk sound.

Hardcore dance track with the clucking chicken, I will find you!

You know the saying 'nothing dies on the internet'? Well, being ninetys nostalgic about listening to Radio 1's Essential Mix in my old mates basement, after several bottles of K Cider and an eighth of squidgy black, I did a web search to see if the saying is true.

Guess who just finished uploading every Radio 1 Essential Mix from 1993-1997, in 192bit mp3, to Google Drive? 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Ever have one of those days when the only thing you can do is be in awe at the convergence of unrelated things that go completely sideways?

Yeah, sex is great, but have you ever rubbed your eyes immediately after removing the contact lenses you've had in for sixteen hours during allergy season?

@DBlackwell77 Jesus must've been well pissed. 😄

@holon42 @lifeinthePNW I was part raised in Guyana, in a Hindu community. The colour and celebrations of those, then returning to Wales to dreary, endless, guilt tripping sermons in cold, dusty churches, was the catalyst to my becoming atheist.

@lifeinthePNW That's so true. Even Steve Jobs never achieved that level of reinventing the wheel and selling it as invention.

The cross on the hot cross bun symbolises the four seasons and four phases of the moon. #easter

@Tether Yeah! 😂 Jack Daniels are inclusive too.

...Oh, and happy other stolen Pagan festival.

TL;DR

All the fun things about Easter are pagan. Bunnies are from the pagan festival of Eostre, a goddess whose symbol was a rabbit or hare. Exchange of eggs is an ancient custom. Hot cross buns are ancient too. The early church clergy tried to put a stop to sacred cakes being baked at Easter. In the end, in the face of defiant cake-baking pagan women, they gave up and blessed the cake instead.

I shaved my beard back to just goaty three weeks ago, just can't be arsed taking a selfie and updating my profile picture. First time I'd seen my cheeks and chin in nine years - thought my mole had moved. 😄

This makes me a happy Jim Beam drinker of 20+ years. #lgbtq+ #PRIDE

123-reg's email spam filter is a joke. I just forwarded an email to another address in the same domain (my own domain name hosted by 123-reg) and it got flagged as spam... 🤡 💩
