Who wants to see a speedy hedgehog doing laps round our garden? 🦔 💨
I swear it’s not sped up. Look at those little legs go!

I’ve had seven responses to my MacBook listing on Facebook.

Every one of them is a fucking scammer. Every. One.

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Am I doing something wrong here?

Not a single response from a genuine punter offering me £150 less than the asking price. It’s a hell of a machine, that I obviously don’t expect to get £500 for, but don’t want to just give it away. But I’ve only had scammers responding.

@emsquared It really is shit, isn’t it? I’ve been putting off listing this Mac for precisely this reason.

@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

@fireborn Nah, that’s barely an issue.

The problem is Facebook don’t really give a shit about it because all those scammy accounts boost their user numbers.

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

@emsquared Yeah, it’s like eBay, but worse.

What really bugs me is seeing people selling brand new shit on there. I don’t know why, but it goes against the spirit of the thing completely.

Oh, so I’m playing Assassin’s Creed: Origins at the moment.

It’s set in Egypt, around 50BC, I think, and the main character is called Bayek.

Every. Time. an NPC calls him by name, I say it in a Yorkshire accent.

Every. Time.

@TheBreadmonkey My wife looked up to me earlier and said “Are you going to say that every time?” and had to admit that yes, probably.

I’m not expecting many reactions to this one, because people still have this weird reaction to ratties. They’re top notch pets, but people still think they’re disgusting. @sundaypix

@pdcawley Right. Yeah, that’s fair.

Only one of those in my photo still remains. They shine bright, but burn out quickly.

WHAT IS THE WORST THING YOU WOULD PUBLICLY ADMIT TO BEING PREPARED TO DO FOR A BILLION QUID

@TheBreadmonkey Vote Tory.

Now hear me out. With a billion quid, I can do a lot to campaign on behalf of decent lefties to counteract my one wasted vote.

@aaron I’d maybe kick Dog the Bounty Hunter to death, or Liam Fox. But not an actual dog. @TheBreadmonkey

. @Troggie has just told the grumbling, hungry cat to “talk to the Meat Manager” and pointed at me, and well, I’m just off to change my Grindr name.

I never thought Arthur would be able to do this again!
He's adapted incredibly well since he had the majority of his lower jaw removed because of cancer back in January, but the only thing he couldn't do was pick up a toy. Well, until just now!

The label is still on it as it was a Christmas present that he was unable to play with. I'm treasuring every moment that we have left together.

@sharongascoigne He looks like an exceptionally good boy! Can you give him some belly rubs from a random stranger from the either side of the Solent, please?

Every Christmas for thirteen years I've run a very successful and popular Secret Santa on the birdsite, enjoyed by hundreds of good folk around the world. Recent musky changes there (rate limits, the monetisation of Tweetdeck) make it impossible to run now. I see no reason why I couldn't run it here, though, so maybe will become instead. Watch this space in October. https://toot.community/

As if by clockwork, within a minute of listing my old MacBook on Facebook marketplace, the scammers have arrived.

Facebook is a fucking pox.

Left-handers of Mastodon!

Have you ever used a Lamy left-handed fountain pen? If so, did it offer any tangible benefits to your writing?

Ever since I first learned of their existence, I've been fascinated to try one, but £20 seems a lot for the kind of writing I do.

Nope, never have.
