Not familiar with these two because I don't listen to BBC radio but well done to them. But also, how sad that "coming out" is still so fear-inducing in this world. For straight people who argue Pride isn't necessary, how many years did you have to hide themselves? Exactly.

My sexuality is Charlotte Church saying she hopes to be 'a formidable traitor hunter' #celebritytraitors

Here’s what every woman knows and what many American women are compartmentalizing: Men will do 10% of whatever they want to do to you in front of others. This is why the cardinal rule is to never be caught alone. Now apply this to what you’ve seen ICE do to women while you’re watching.

One of the best things about my Dad is his ability to Do The Voices when reading out loud to kids. He did recently admit to me that having to ‘do’ a talking umbrella in a Rupert The Bear story nearly finished him off.

Tens of thousands of people killed. An entire state reduced to rubble and he acts like it's the Apprentice final.

oh god no he hoovered up his own brain

This is fully bananas. I went to a middling state school where we had all our maths lessons in porta cabins in a car park.

One of the things I like the most about the current government is that the vast majority of the cabinet went to normal schools. The people making decisions grew up in the real world and not like this:

Divorcing parents sitting on each opposite bench, seething as their child rocks forlornly back and forth on the chicken.

Some people might laugh but there's something actually important in this as I have heard others talk about how a fear of dying is palpable among fascists. They carry hell with them in real life.

What policy themed visitor trail would you do upon retirement? I would pilgrimage to visit the 100 Rishi Sunak outdoor chess sets around the country. I genuinely think it would be one of those fun random things that would take me to places I’d never otherwise go to

If you could please do us a favour and RT (or whatever it is on here) my writing CV I would be extremely grateful. I am a very capable writer of words, mainly “humorous”’ and if you have some PROPER paid work for me, please DM me. Thank you for your time www.mathew-owen.co.uk

I’m rather pleased that, in this digital age, there are still scalpers outside the gig venue trying to sell tickets. They even seem to be the same dudes from the gigs I went to in the 90s.

"well what are the Democrats supposed to do" I don't know! They're supposed to know! I'm not the one who sought and obtained a political position that would require me to know what to do when the ruling party attempts to install the President as a dictator!

this is sociopathic behaviour and I think we need to treat it as such! just because something has become easy to do doesn't mean it has become less creepy, or more acceptable!

"anti semantic"

I once had a straight Anglican woman tell me, in all seriousness, that gay Anglicans ‘didn’t mind’ the fact that they can’t get married in church. Nothing I said - as a gay Anglican who can’t get married in church - would convince her otherwise. 🤷🏼‍♀️

12 October 1892 | Edith Stein was born in Wrocław. She was a German Jewish philosopher who converted to Catholicism & became a theologian & a Carmelite nun. She was murdered in #Auschwitz in August 1942. Stein was beatified in 1987 and canonized in October 1998.

Not the main takeaway from the article – a sidenote, really – but this is why the Internet of Things concept terrifies me.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment. An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action. A disinformation machine as our journalism fails. A bias machine as fascism takes root. A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

I hate autumn. I hate it more than any other season. At least with winter you know to whack on that Michelin man coat and moisturise like fuck. With autumn you might be too hot. But you might be freezing cold. You'll probably get soaked. And pumpkin spice tastes awful AND STINKS.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

In my opinion it’s time to retire the Nobel prizes for fields where most of the important discoveries have already been made, like physics, and add prizes for newer fields where substantial innovations occur every year, like speedrunning

It rocks that these people won, are in control, got what they supposedly wanted, and are still just as bitter as ever about everything, winning or losing makes no difference to filling the gaping holes in their souls

LA: we will fight you. Chicago: we will fight you. PDX: we will make you endure week after week of of improv theater.

Hi! I pooed on the floor at 3am, ate my way through the third dog bed in six months and then pulled the sewing machine off the table and broke it! And all in one day! Good thing I’m cute. #dogshaming
