Not trying to pick a fight here.
I’m genuinely curious how TikTok has changed society. I don’t use it, but then nor does my teenage daughter. I get that it is/was popular, and changed the way people consume some kinds of content, but I don’t see that it changed society in any fundamental way.
All right music fans, what's your favorite band/musician and how many times have you seen them live?
Alabama 3. I saw them lots of times in little pub venues and playing non-main stages at festivals in the mid to late 90's.
Blew my mind when I went to live in the US in 1999, put the TV on, and one of their tracks turned out to be the opening theme tune to this relatively new show called The Sopranos.
He doesn't need a moustache when he's sporting that gargantuan tallywhacker.
Saw a thing about the world's most expensive pizza ($2k+) the other night. Squid ink pizza dough, caviar, truffles, gold leaf, etc. It looked revolting.
Labour's weak attitude to immigration is to blame here just letting these thieves just fly into the country!
I was furious with my wife in a dream recently and it did take a couple of hours for me to be alright with her the next morning.
"At least the fucking bullet wasn't venemous!"
I look forward to Trump having this guy arrested shortly followed by Arnie coming out of retirement, tooling up, and taking the fight to the orange man. "I told you I'd be back!"
Sorry for the absolute potato quality!
Looking for a UK pixelfed server. One choice.

Another lighter dish to fight off the post-Christmas cheese coma!
Salmon en papillote with couscous, sun-dried tomatoes, and feta
Ingredients
- 4 skinless salmon fillets
- 125 ml vegetable stock
- 120g couscous
- 60g sun-dried tomatoes, in oil, sliced
- 100g feta
- ½ tsp dried oregano
Salsa
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 handful of basil, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp capers
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Mix together all the salsa ingredients and season with salt and pepper.
Method
- Bring the vegetable stock to the boil in a pan. Stir in the couscous, cover, remove from the heat and stand for about 5 minutes. Remove the lid, fluff with a fork and let it cool slightly.
- Mix the tomatoes, feta, courgettes, remaining oil, oregano, salt and pepper into the couscous.
- Preheat the oven, or air fryer, to 180°C/360°F.
- Spread out four large pieces of baking paper. Put a salmon fillet in the centre of each piece of baking paper and top with some of the couscous. Press it down a little so the couscous forms a crust. Don't worry if some spills down the sides, it'll still be grand. Wrap the baking paper and try to make sure it's sealed. Place on a baking tray in the center of the oven, or in the basket of an air fryer. Cook for 20 minutes in the oven, or 15 minutes in the air fryer.
- To serve, cut open the parcels and drizzle with salsa.

When I was first learning to cook I once confused garlic clove with garlic bulb in a curry recipe.
I still have no regrets.
