Jean Luc #Picard should have been at the Coronation of the new Borg Queen. Is that really so much to ask? The Collective is greatly insulted. No wonder we are losing support all over the Galaxy. MAKE ALPHA QUADRANT GREAT AGAIN!!!

Craignethan Castle in Lanarkshire. When built in the 1530s this was home to some of the most formidable artillery defences of the day, though the strongest part was demolished in the 1580s following attempted coups by the owners.

Craignethan Castle in Lanarkshire. The image shows a view down on to a castle that comprises a stone wall of modest height cutting across the foreground with a harge old stone house at its right-hand end. Beyond the wall and house is a mown grassy area, then a ditch crossed by a footbridge and then a squat tower house also made from honey coloured stone. Beyond is are threes then distant farmland. The castle is in sunlight.

It turns out you can simply serve a file from a domain to use it as your bsky handle.
So this guy is now S3. All of S3.

Maybe I’m just being overly sensitive, but whenever I think about water polo I always feel sorry for those poor horses.
I find it telling that if you look through the comments to Paul Stanley's anti-trans diatribe on the birdsite, you'll notice that the people who agree with him are almost all blue checks.
Almost like there's a significant intersection of the people who support Musk and bigots.

The German language is actually quite veggie:
Da haben wir den Salat (There we have the salad) = What a mess!
Gurkentruppe (cucumber troop) = bad team
Tomaten auf den Augen (tomatoes on the eyes) = blinded
Bohnenstange (bean stick) = tall person
Spargel (asparagus) = thin person
Erbsenzähler (pea counter) = nitpicker
Interessiert mich nicht die Bohne (I'm not interested a bean)= I don't care at all
wie Kraut und Rüben (like cabbage and turnips) = messy
Enjoy our langveg!

A bear walks into a bar. He goes up to the bartender and he says "I'll have a gin and………Tonic."
The bartender says, "Sure man, but what's with the big pause?"
The Bear looks down at his hands and says "I don't know… but my father had them, too…"

My son came up to me last night and asked: “dad, where does poo come from?”
Feeling squeamish but wanting to educate him I explained how poo is made in your digestive system and comes out of the small hole in your butt.
He paused and looked confused for a bit before asking:
“..and Tigger?”

A true warrior must be proud of their deeds, but pride without humility is arrogance. It means nothing if it drives away those around you. Be proud! But temper it with humility, or else you will find yourself alone, friendless, facing your enemies with only pride on your side.

I told a joke on a Zoom Meeting and no-one laughed.
It turns out I'm not remotely funny.

My daughter turned three today.
She has said to me "No, I don't want ..." no less than half a dozen times today.
In the past month, she probably said it three times.
So, yes, she really turned three today.

If you're banning books, you're telling other parents how to raise their kids. Keep your kids ignorant if you're that dumb and selfish. Leave our kids alone.
Soon, it will be easier to get pot in Texas than estrogen.
