Thank you @psac_afpc, because of your strike action my bus was held up and I had to walk an extra 4kms to work this morning! It was a lovely morning and I really enjoyed the walk. I hope everything went well and everyone stayed safe. Thanks again!

@punchcocks I was surprised myself. I guess things were quiet. We were living in south-east London, UK, at the time.

@punchcocks There was a burglar. We called the police and, within minutes, the police had surrounded our block and caught the perpetrator. The speed and coordination wouldn’t have been possible without their training and capability.

I’m sure @KatyFBrand means well but the independently wealthy have often led the way politically, scientifically, philosophically, artistically & athletically. And the idea that you have to be under a Master’s boot to develop character is straight out of the Capitalist playbook.

@Wheeler Mine was me on a powered skateboard keeping up with the car. When bored, the discursive mind needs something to rest it’s attention on after a while without additional stimulus, which might explain why this is a common experience on long journeys.

@AllyGarbs Wrasse. Swam with these fish, they play with you like big puppy dogs!

You don’t have to be a Manhattan homeowner to pay people you give work to and now can’t. Cleaner, child carer, window cleaner, music teacher, whatever. You don’t have to pay them the full rate even, just whatever you can afford if you haven’t lost income yourself.

[Angélica Martínez @AMartinezNY]

My mom is a housekeeper for 4 different people in Manhattan, naturally they all cancelled her indefinitely, without pay. I am certain that none of them lost their income but her income just went to zero. If you hire a housekeeper, please pay them, it’s the decent thing to do!

It’s been brought to my attention not every single human being has had the privilege of watching this phenomenal German commercial. It deserves a goddamn Oscar imho

Hey @BlackCowVodka, why is your delicious beverage called Vodka in the UK but Spirit Drink in Canada? 🤷‍♂️🍸

[Tom Swarbrigg @tswarbs]

This👇💯

[Tom Swarbrigg @tswarbs]

Just a thought. Every time you talk to another person, you're interacting with the most complex thing in the known universe. Kinda makes every time you talk to someone during your day special.

Shopped at two @EBGamesCanada outlets today (Bedford and Chain Lake Drive) had excellent customer service at both. Knowledgable and endlessly helpful staff even though they were busy. I did end up spending a sh!t-ton but hey, thanks guys!🎮
