Yesterday, the biggest woodpigeon I've ever seen tried in vain to perch on the bird feeders and instead resolved to reach inside them from below.
No sign of it today, I think the dog scared it away.

Americans really want a monarchy and are sad that their independence came at the cost of losing the British one. Change my view.
"If fire's so good how come they haven't created fire II?"
Fire II sounded clinical and made in a lab which fit the setting of FF7 as opposed to fira
Bit idea:
Journalist so used to using passive voice, he can't turn it off.
"At 3 O'clock today, candles were blown out in a cake involved eating."
Haven't seen it but the Wiki says yes.
And also that he turns out to be Sam's dad in the plot twist at the end.

Where would Gene Hunt from Life on Mars fit on this?
I think he'd somewhere in the bottom right, on account of just locking on to the first person he suspected to be the killer and beating a confession out of them before clocking off for a pint in the railroad arms.
There's this advert for Freeview TV that uses the instrumentals from Enola Gay by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. I don't know if anyone intentionally decided to have a song about the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki associated with their TV streaming company or if there's some exec out there that doesn't know what the song is about wanted for the advert and everyone else was too afraid to tell them no.
It has its flaws, but imho Dark Souls 2 has some of the best moments in the series.
I'll never forget riding the lift to Dragon's Aerie for the first time.
spoilers for Dark Souls 2
Meeting King Vendrick at the end of the catacombs.
Since you first reached the hub town (Majula), you've been told that Vendrick has the means to cure the undead curse and all you need to do is find him. And so the entire game up 'till this point has been about reaching his castle and then when you discover he isn't there, tracking him down to the very bottom of the catacombs.
At the end of a long corridor full of enemies, past a recurring boss fight against one of Drangliec's many dragon riders, you pass through the fog wall and face Vendrick's bodyguard, Velstadt. It's an okay fight, not particularly flashy or difficult but at least it's not Prowling Magus.
Velstadt falls, and the only way forward is a short, narrow corridor that opened up behind him. The corridor leads down into an unlit room and in the dark you can faintly make out some large shape moving about the farthest side of the room to you.
As you get closer you hear Majula's familiar theme begin to play as the creature in the room takes shape before your eyes.
It's Vendrick, succumbed to the undead curse.
So hollowed by now that he doesn't even acknowledge your presence, instead slowly walking the same circle in a loop. His withered arms barely able to raise the sword he once used to slay the king of the giants.
"What am I supposed to do now?"
As I sat there trying to figure out what my next steps were supposed to be, I couldn't help but contemplate Vendrick's fate.
Time and time again this game presents you with the inescapable nature of death. Of how no matter how good a life you lived it will come to an end. No matter what legacy you try to secure it will crumble and be forgotten. The iron king in all his tyranny is naught but ichorous earth now, even Vendrick is dead (though his body hasn't caught up on that yet).
"If life is short, and my deeds are inevitably forgotten," I thought to myself, "Why the fuck am I living as a man when doing so makes me miserable?"
Long story short, the next day I finally worked up the courage to talk to my GP about a gender service referral.
Obama but he's doing poorly in the FPS he's playing.
