The Great Permacrises

Too cold for you or too cold for your fur-coat wearing friend?

I’m ‘only’ at -4 but Ziggy will be out today and he’ll love it.

Rubbish. I was out with Charlie for 50 mins this morning. In shorts.

Just to note that Tim Cook has also made a personal donation to Trump’s inauguration.

It’s a literal Kleptocracy and no one seems immune.

On the subject of Facebook stopping fact checking, I don’t think it’s the worst move. I’m not sure what problem it solves. It just angers people who are always going to dispute the facts and doesn’t really change anyone’s opinion. It feels very lose lose.

You’ll be in the minority, although not alone. Can’t wait to see the waves of Dry Robe Wankers on the beach today.

Interestingly, you’ll be more likely to see a Dry Robe in the supermarket than on the beach.

As in swimmers? Go them! If I was by a beach I’d be off for a swim today, unfortunately it will have to wait until tomorrow when the outdoor swimming venue is open.

Nah, I was more having a go at those who wear them as a fashion accessory.

That’s a thing? :rofl: okay well that’s fair.

There’s even a Facebook group for photos of them in the wild, although it’s not as popular as the group for Wolf fleeces.

Wikipedia is quite regulated and monitored though. It’s not totally open.

I can become a community notes creator on X. I can already rate notes and most of them are just opinions or uncheckable.

Sorry my friend I’m going to hard disagree here: I don’t think the general masses can be fact checking.

It’s a brand. A huge overcoat that you’d wear if you’d been doing watersports for example

I had the same thing going on with Under Armour for so long it’s embarrassing. I was like ‘its not even armour’

Very useful for outdoor swimming, it’s basically a huge towel that’s robe shaped and waterproof on the outside that you can get changed under while keeping warm & dry if it’s raining.

Never seen them used outside of this context though :smile:

I will find a misuse of a Dry Robe for you tomorrow, simply by walking in the main street of my small home town.

Dry Robe Wankers on Facebook has some examples.

I have no strong feelings either way!

Musk is now pretty much full on with spreading disinformation to get Kier Starmer out, apparently something he’s decided he wants to happen.

I think this is pretty much unprecedented in international relations. It’s going to be wild when Trump takes office in a week or so.

Not sure where this fits but Merseyrail every weekend in January is £2 for a day travel ticket.

Absolute bargain.

This is very welcome, but I’m not seeing any mention of this being in the iOS Wallet app like the California driving licence. It’s a shame.
