Before X-rays were invented and xylophones became widely known, alphabet books sometimes said X was for ‘xany’, an early form of ‘zany’ meaning an idle person.

Love to change my business logo to something that can’t be trademarked which means anyone can legally use it for whatever they want

Lol someone on reddit made a post about a made up feature introduced in WoW so that a news site using AI-driven scraping bots published an article about it and it worked

@deannawol @omegar24 @Legendgerry @LinusTech I enjoy Minesweeper until I get to a state where the clues are only revealing a probability and not a certainty. Won a game of Minesweeper on expert last night, but had to guess 3 times during it. Also, Windows Minesweeper's explosions are too loud these days! And has bloody ads!

Spike Island Cork was the largest prison in the world in the early 1850's.

Boys as young as 12 made up 10% of the population.

The Panthermobile. Designed and built in 1969 at a cost of almost $500,000 for the opening and closing titles of the Pink Panther Show. Restored over a five year period (2011-16) by Galpin Auto Sports, after its UK owner - who had paid £88,000 for it - was declared insolvent.

So sad about John Nettleton - he was a lovely man and a fine actor. His stage credits are enviable, but of course Sir Arnold in Yes, (Prime) Minister is an exemplary comic turn. Loved him in East of Ipswich too, which I know he was very proud of. I’m lucky to have known him x RIP

To give you a context of how historic a WGA/SAG strike would be, the last time this happened together not only was Eisenhower still president, but the actors union was lead by noted organizer and socialist, Ronald Reagan.

A pair of these (to emulate the full PS5 controller button layout at once) will cost £160.

The price for 1 access controller is comparable to the Xbox Adaptive Controller (£75), and even with just one access controller offers a larger number of built in inputs.

I’m in the business lounge in Oslo airport and they have an absolute mountain of Jaffa Cakes in a bowl. The Scandinavians are so far ahead of us, lads.

861 streams on Amazon (which is better than Spotify) earned me 94 pence. All money gratefully received, but this is why #songwriters tend to moan. (She moaned...) Do consider *buying* rather than #streaming, and I mean this for newer artists rather than me; I've had my time. ✨

Always surprising when history crops up unexpectedly. Just discovered that Article 9 of the [English] Bill of Rights 1689 - on the separation of powers of courts and parliament - was repealed here in the Houses of the Oireachtas (Inquiries, Privileges and
Procedures) Act 2013.
