This place is a CSAM-friendly Nazi bar.

Shame. Used to be a fairly nice place.

I'll be at @nick.gark.net

@arrroberts The row of rocket-shaped voids on your mantlepiece is quite something to behold.

@ianpayn @Otto_English @tforcworc “His name is an anagram of ‘sore brain’.”

Actually cackling IRL.

[Nick Gibbins @nmg]

@ianpayn @Otto_English @tforcworc Is that for real? Amazing Alan B’stard cosplay either way.

@CarrotChick @extracandy_ @diannaeanderson Can confirm that mirtazapine also stimulates appetite in humans. Unfortunately.

@violetwavelight @AdamRutherford I agree with the sentiment, but that’s not a particularly scary threat, given that he doesn’t believe in nuclear weapons…

@rouedesarchive @BecksHewer @jntod Fewer feral nuns on campus these days, though.

[Nick Gibbins @nmg]

@rouedesarchive @BecksHewer @jntod It’s incredibly hard to rewatch A Very Peculiar Practice.

Back then, it was a black comedy that took contemporary HE and extrapolated to the point of absurdity.

These days, it’s all just far too close to the knuckle.

@njj4 If, and I can’t stress this enough, you get her express permission first.

[Nick Gibbins @nmg]

@penfolduk01 @ShappiKhorsandi @SoozUK Forget those. I’m looking forward to 3:14am on 19th January 2038 when 32-bit UNIX time goes negative. There are still likely to be a lot of unpatched systems (particularly embedded systems) around in 15 years time.

@njj4 ITYM “her chair”.

@natachakennedy You forgot “ThAt’S cHiLd AbUsE!”

@IMcMillan As soon as I saw this, I had a flashback to @StroudStory mocking me for mispronouncing it the best part of three decades ago.

[Nick Gibbins @nmg]

@EleanorMorton I read and enjoyed the Book of Ghosts, but much preferred the Book of the Future (a pleasing amount of which is now mundane and everyday).

@paz_fey @ParkerNawtNice @lensawag1 @josierones Two of my cousins are/were CP, and I can assure you that that didn’t stop people using the R slur against them. Bigots don’t distinguish between folk with physical disabilities and folk with intellectual disabilities.

@AndyLandy That happy little face! <3

@theherogram 600 a *day*? If they only showed me posts that from my friends and not from fascists, racists, homophobes and transphobes, that might be okay.

[Nick Gibbins @nmg]

@thedicemechanic @biomassart I don’t know whether to be impressed or to withdraw from genteel society and live out my days as a hermit amongst the birds of the air and the beasts of the field.

Maybe both.

[Nick Gibbins @nmg]

@thedicemechanic @biomassart That's at the "eating soup with a fork" end of the scale; technically possible, but inadvisable.

[Nick Gibbins @nmg]

@richardclegg Oh ffs…
