And if you don’t have Premium (or just love audiobooks I’m general, wishlist the item on chirpbooks.com and when it goes on a 30-day sale you’ll get notified, where you can then buy it for like 90% off. I love this service and it has changed the way I consume audiobooks. Like audible without the membership.

it’s currently US$18.99 down from $20 if you have no Spotify and are unable to wait it out.

I just noticed the middle tines of the fork are snapped off, allowing for easy insertion.

I wouldn’t say I despise them, but the other negative emotion I have is feeling depressed at having been a burden that they decided they wanted, of their own free will, to help me. I hate it, it’s so backward. It becomes a spiral of feeling melancholic for no reason and it just becomes a depression feedback loop.

Maybe I did know, but nobody cared enough to call attention to it, so I forgot; and then I forgot that I forgot. MIB-style.

Three decades I’ve had this name and only now am I noticing that.

I can I can’t??

But it’s a perfectly cromulent word.

Feels weird giving stories like this an updoot.

Hire an accountant.

Boost also had this handy feature where you could tap a button to see the parent comment. It would open a popup/modal window displaying the comment with the usual updoot/downdoot, quote/reply and parent buttons - so you could easily repeat the process and read the parent context up to the root.

That was handy in long complex threads.

The definition of a ‘risky click’.

You’re gonna make it really difficult to jump on Boost for Lemmy when it comes out. Maybe I’ll use both apps, or use Voyager on a specific device and Boost on another. 🤷‍♂️ I have been impressed from the get-go at how ready wefwef/Voyager has been since migrating from reddit. Not a fan of iOS, so I’m interested in having the in-app switch to change OS ‘themes’ in the web app framework you use!

Thank you for all your hard work and effort you have put into this app!

+1 for both displaying on Android, Voyager 0.21.

Block out the Sun!

The prompt in this post reminds me of Jesse from The Fast Show (Mark Williams)

“This week, I have mostly been…”

So for the rest of this week i will mostly be bingeing every episode of the fast show on BBC iPlayer since I’m told they’re not expiring for another two more years.

And then after the final Fast Show I’ll probably watch the anniversary special. Whitehouse’s Rowley Birkin QC is phenomenal in the sketch where he’s recounting a story of his youth without presently being drunk. Incredibly delivered and written in a poignant way that only British comedy seems able to achieve; à la Blackadder Goes Over The Top/Goodbyeee.

Edit: this is the one. https://youtu.be/QlZFfXAUr2I

Valuable! Have some Lemmy gold! 🥇

That’s just it. Nothing unlawful seems to have occurred at this stage. Maybe he got a bit of Clarkson syndrome about his power and money, that remains to be seen.

But if this all fizzles out and he’s able to professionally (and mentally) recover from it, I’d be happy to see/hear him orrsentythr present the news again (edit: keyboard went a bit psuedo-Welsh there ironically…) , when and if he is ready. It’d be like when Stephen Fry went missing and the nation was concerned for his wellbeing and return to public life.

Now it’s just a sad story about personal lives being made public. At least the ‘young person’ is not in the public eye at the moment.

Probably just in time to protect themselves against litigation. Now that it’s out, I can say that for some reason the news website in question posted that it was breakfast presenter Jon Kay (of whom I have never heard) that was suspended. Apparently he’s just on holiday though.

The only news outfit to publically name anyone before the public statement, and they got it wrong. Bravo! 👏
