On my dog walk I often chat with right wingers. I pretend I am an ex-Reform voter put off by the utter fuck up of our county council. Then they see me as one of their own, don't get defensive and shouty, and start to question their own opinion of Reform. Honey, not vinegar.


Mirrors should have an "out of focus" mode for when you don't want to look at yourself clearly. Ideal for morning grooming with a bad hangover, or just for when you're sick of the sight of yourself.

If middle aged wankers were to stop buying vinyl copies of albums they already own in four different formats - including the original vinyl - then all the problems of plastic straws would be offset and we could ditch those paper shites that have been forced on us
in reply to Anon Opin

Vinyl records are a drop in the bucket and an item that is much less likely to end in a landfill. Crab bucket mentality.

Any #Wordpress experts able to help me figure out how to change the og:image for the IFTAS blog? I'm using the Nook theme, I have a Site Logo set in the site editor, Jetpack is enabled (.com business plan).

I have a 1200x630 image ready to use, but nowhere to set it - looks like instead there's a pre-determined auto-created image from s0.wp.com and nowhere to change it.

I cannot not edit the theme nor functions directly (hosted service), and I prefer not using a bloated plugin...

in reply to Matthias Pfefferle

@pfefferle I'm on mobile, but can check tomorrow too. If the OG tags are coming from Jetpack, this filter is likely a fair place to start. developer.jetpack.com/hooks/je…

I assume that the craft bottom right is "us" and the Evil TV Remote Craft are invading aliens? Even the "us" one is pretty futuristic, and its weapon for some reason is mounted at the rear, firing forward.

Back then there were no conventions for this kind of thing.

Israel Issues Threats
Thiago Affirms: Our Mission Is Peaceful and Protected by Law
The Israeli occupation government attempted to intimidate our flotilla over radio, threatening to stop and confiscate our vessels if we continued toward Gaza.
Thiago responded firmly: we are a peaceful, nonviolent humanitarian mission. Our journey is legal under international law, and any attempt to obstruct us is not.
"We carry food, aid, water filters, crutches, baby formula, to people you have been starving to death."
The world is watching, and those responsible for hostile actions will be held accountable.

Oh, so this is a thing in other languages as well? We had a colleague in our company who often ended his sentences with "Fragezeichen" (the German word for "question mark") and I found it really weird.

Is there any logical reason doing so?
