Clarkson has been trying to warn us for years, and we haven’t been listening. He punched a producer when his dinner wasn’t on time, to highlight the impending delays to food deliveries after Brexit. He left the BBC to work for Amazon, presenting a show that was a shadow of it’s former self, to illustrate how billionaires diminish everything they touch.

He couldn’t be clearer with his messaging, but the UK continues to ignore him.

I once did some office work for a tobacco company, where you were allowed to smoke at your desk. I don’t smoke, but I had a few ciggies when I was there, because you realise that you’ve never really pointed at anything, until you’ve pointed at it with a cig in your hand. It’s just a better way to point at stuff (I don’t make the rules).

The microwave is a fundamental part of the Make Tea -> Forget About Tea -> Reheat Tea cycle.

Also, I have to put the bag in first, because otherwise I’ve no idea how much room I need to leave for it (which you’d think I’d be able to eyeball by now, but apparently not).

You don’t need to apologise. I wasn’t trying to give you a hard time (sorry if it seemed like that). The remote posts I linked to in my earlier comment have now gone (maybe I was being given a cached version before - that’s a possibility I often forget about).

How have you deleted them? They are still here and here and probably at friendica.world but that site seems bust.

There are better playgrounds if you want to mess around with Fediverse stuff.

I was listening to the Adam Buxton podcast where he was interviewing Kim Deal (from The Pixies and The Breeders). She was saying that ‘King of the Road’ was the first song she learnt to play, and I really enjoyed listening to them jam away at it. The original is less fun in comparison, but it’s still a great song.

It’s not my favourite song, because that would likely be some ambient bollocks that was released last year or something, but that’s not a cool thing to admit, and the thumbnail for your vid brought the Roger Miller song to mind.

(I know I’m full of shit, even when I’m writing the comment).

It’d help bellobearofficial@lemmy.world if you used the same URL for the post in that community, and in the ‘comics’ communities, so it could also be discovered as a cross-post (using Lemmy’s ‘cross-post’ feature makes re-using the same URL easy).

I watched a TV show called ‘Justified: City Primeval’ - it’s not very good, but something I found weird was how often the characters mentioned each other’s race I’m from the UK, so maybe it was just badly written, or maybe Americans do actually talk like that.

There’s a Lemmy community at !severance@lemmy.world (although I’ve found that chatting about TV is harder than it looks).

I go there for the post-episode TV discussions (though I don’t log in). It can interesting to read people’s theories for something like Severance, although the whole experience can end up being depressing (because of mod shenanigans, the over-use of spoiler syntax, and the dissonance / over-reaction created when some show that the hive-mind has already determined is the best thing ever has a duff episode)

I use an distro called ‘Bunsen Labs’, which was created as a successor to CrunchBang Linux when maintenance of that distro ceased. It uses OpenBox as the WM, and works well for an old laptop and for random VMs I spin up to test things (my test Lemmy instance runs on it).

No, you’re right. It’s just how it sounds with Sanders’ distinct accent.

For stuff about films, I like ‘Thomas Flight’ and ‘Like Stories Of Old’. LSOO has just released a video about Gladiator II that I’m going to watch in a bit (I’m hoping he hated it as much as I did!)
