@Machpants not the cat girls though

The fuck. Why. I stupidly had to endure this so now you all do too.

if I'd read that students dressing up as a cat thing 3 days ago I would have said you're all insane.
however 2 days ago my daughter was telling me about the kids at her school that dress up as cats.
you're not insane, they are though! Now I want to know who the parents are. surely that's the type of shit you stop doing by 7 years old..

and obviously shows anti bully programs at schools must be working, cause that would have been beaten out of them in the good ole days!

It's one of the things I'm really concerned about if I do finally move to Canadia... fucking tipping. What a stupid system... I can't imagine they're going to like my approach of doing it as intended... only tipping truly good service. And hot chicks. Everybody else - gets the minimum.
Tipping is so fucked. Petty of me, but one of the reasons North America is low on my list of places to visit

This was also on telly this morning, I was having a giggle at how all the cows were white, then they said the lady is charging £125 for it! I'm buying a cow.
Seems her price has raised since this article.
Can cuddling a cow make me less stressed? There’s one way to find out …
Fifty pounds will buy you three hours petting the retired dairy cows at Dumble Farm in East Yorkshire – and the tickets sell out almost instantly

This is award winning art, must've taken at least an hour
Jesse Darling wins the 2023 Turner Prize
The Oxford-born artist won the £25,000 award for sculptures made of commonplace objects conveying ‘the messy reality of life’, and unsettling ‘notions of labour, class, Britishness and power’
-
Truly? Really?
Rapper Tinie Tempah presented the award to Darling, who was commended by the jury for his “use of materials and commonplace objects like concrete, welded barriers, hazard tape, office files and net curtains, to convey a familiar yet delirious world invoking societal breakdown, his presentation unsettles perceived notions of labour, class, Britishness and power.”
Afterwards, Darling pulled a Palestinian flag out of his pocket. When asked later why, the artist said: “Because there’s a genocide going on and I wanted to say something about it on the BBC.”
The Turner prize, regarded as one of the art world’s most prestigious awards, is presented to an artist born or working in Britain for an outstanding exhibition or presentation of their work over the previous year.
The work of Darling, who currently resides in Berlin, impressed the jury most of all. They praised the artist’s ability to manipulate materials “in ways that skilfully express the messy reality of life” and expose “the world’s underlying fragility”.Tate Britain director Alex Farquharson, chair of the jury, said that Darling’s work was a “state of a nation” address that had a “timeliness, dynamism and a boldness that was really grappling with the world … and there’s a lot of humour in the work and you feel immersed in its world.”
Farquharson added that the work was juggling with themes of Brexit, nationality, identity, bureaucracy, immigration and austerity. “There’s a sense of timeliness with all the work, and in that sense I think it’s a really good year. Everyone in their separate ways, feels of the moment.”
It's certainly not the Fighting Temeraire
