Back 4 million years the whole world really was a planet of the apes. So in some ways recognising something that wasn’t your species, but looked like it might have avoided conflict, loss of territory, loss of food…

Have we though? We still vote for them and populate the business rooms with them…

…my theory is different. I think this is evolutionary back to competition with similar species.

I love Fela Kuti’s music. A mix of African tradition and 70s jazz rock.

Damon Albarn (Blur) went out to Africa in the late 90s iirc and recorded an album. I want to say its called Mali Music but its been 24 years… thats a great album too. All samples of folk musicians

Had some woman full-on grab my male arse in my old job when I was bent over doing a task. My colleague (female) saw it and marched after her letting her know that wasnt acceptable. Another member of staff kept constantly going on about my bike shorts and legs and everything inbetween… she was about 20 years older than me.

People here say this green text is fake. It may well be, but from experience it also may not.

Exactly.

The number of times I had to correct colleagues that “HR is NOT your union”

I get this reaction from people when playing Skinny Puppy, Igorrr, Herbie Hancock ffs… these people are sheltered, LOL!

I listen to a lot of Cash. I like some country. Crosby Stills and Nash etc.

The Telegraph here has done the same for Ebikes and Escooters. But mostly cyclists. Its been weeks of these articles. They’re not alone either, the Mail, Express and Sun have done the same. Its to create the illusion of your Government tackling a problem that doesnt really exist, as ours announced they’d be “bringing in new measures” recently only to launch a General Election a couple of days after.

I remember being on a wilderness weekend many years ago and being told that when you cut the stem on some poisonous shrooms they discolour a sort of blue tint. I’m lucky, I hate the taste and texture of mushrooms.

Does it grow in shiit? 😅

The_Tired_Horizon, 6 days ago

I love all that side of it myself. Used to photo the wild fungus down here.

“Just off for a shiit, mate!”

We’ve been making these Dune time machine jokes since Back to the Future.

I find that context is everything… so it depends where they were eating it from.

Can confirm. Built a mini Van de Graaff as a kid.

The Netherlands does have access for those things. Its the petrolheads who make up that they dont. Otherwise we’d see their cities failing. And there are cargo bikes for many things. My Cousin’s partner rides one thats like a mini boxvan, half electric with a solar panel on the top.

Yeah there are problems with battery and EV materials and their links to all kinds of nasty things. However, lets not forget how bad other industries have been (even recently) for slavery… the cotton industry, the soft drinks indusrty, even the plastics recycling industry.

And OK, lithium is a problem, but there are other ways to store energy that arent being used. We need to stop expecting a perfect solution to everything and just start using sand batteries, compressed air etc, things where we do already have engineers that can accomplish something.

Who have stolen land, drilled under people’s own land to access their oil, drilled into other countries without permission (eg Russian firms). They’ve also hidden data about environmental damage since the 1960s including CO2 evidence. Worse than tobacco.

Never got into them, sadly. Listened a a couple of their albums but always go back to Kyuss or Opeth etc

Their band name is bloody awesome - says everything!

The_Tired_Horizon, 13 days ago

Yeah used that myself in the past.
