I did not know that, I just enjoy to call the queen a lizard.

This is incorrect, he wrote about it 19 years and 10 months (plus a day) ago.

Is it pedant-o-clock already?

I’m actually listening to Them on audiobook at the moment. Love Jon’s soft kind voice.

Also terrifying how most of this book is still relevant

oh no, these are the ones I bought the other day! They’re WAY too bright and give me a bit of a migraine.

They also don’t have a white or warm white option as the white picks up the colour of whatevers behind it so mine was blue as it’s by my dark blue wall.

PISSED. Also going completely to waste so could have sent you them :woman_shrugging:

We listened to the public shaming audiobook whilst on a US road trip a few years ago and I could last for about 45 minutes driving before I had to swap over and immediately nod off for about half an hour. I don’t sleep in cars!!

Don’t jon ronson and drive kids

Ah that’s a shame, I was hoping as these have a remote they might be quite customisable, too bright is not good

They might be fine for what you need and also the twinkle setting is lovely with pastel coloured lights! They would have been PERFECT for my christmas tree…but not for relaxing film viewing unless they’re behind your head (I wanted mine to go around my telly)

Talking of buying stuff… I just ordered some Sweaty Betty leggings for my wife’s birthday.

Ooh which ones?

did you use a code? I had a 15% off code!

i’m putting them on my book case which is in my peripheral vision so hopefully that will work. having said that the remoteless multicoloured ones I already have are pretty bright and I can’t stop looking at them. might be worse at night though

I found a 30% off one that took 20% off…

Power gym leggings, full length in black cherry purple. They are what it threw up when I did a questionnaire but I had to do a bit of guessing.

Just got told this isn’t my house and I’m not welcome here by my brother, who also called me a (cw: ableist and misogynistic language) dumb cunt and told me to leave.

Really nice thing to say when I’m due to move out into a council place approximately never.
