I'm in a bowling alley with approximately 4,846 kids and it is LOUD. It's frying my brain. Beer has been deployed.

This sounds very attractive right now.

The Green party is becoming a viable option. Certainly more attractive than any of the other parties. I think I'll go green next time I vote.

Nish Kumar, "What is the Green Party's vision for how we redraw the economy of this country?" Zack Polanski, "The first thing is to have a big conversation about public ownership" "Nothing we need, and need to use, should be in private hands. All of our utilities should be nationalised"

I'm meant to be getting ready to go bowling but I'm reading my ghost magazine and keep googling the stories and falling down internet rabbit holes.

@detritus.bsky.social Happy birthday 🎉🎉

@dannyrobins.bsky.social are there Halloween specials on BBC sounds this year?

"You'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel. "

Poor little Flange. I don't know what the people who had him first did to him but I can hazard a guess. He flinches when you go to stroke him. Nobody has hit him here, we wouldn't, but he obviously has memories of it 😔

I'm not a natural show off, but I won the euromillions last night.

They’ve only gone and done it!! 🤣

In the past, if you wanted to work illegally in the UK, you didn't need a passport, ID, National Insurance number, visa, or any other documents. In the future, thanks to a new government initiative, if you want to work illegally in the UK all you won't need is a compulsory digital ID Britcard.

It's Pookie's birthday today!!

I've got a ventoux rosé. Not a medical condition, a bottle of wine. Never had it before, it's really rather nice.

If you know the meaning of these 12 words without googling, you're in the top 5% of educated adults - The Expert Editor share.google/BzoNKDQaEOGR... Absolute bullshit. I know all of those words and I left school at 16. You only need to read some books, for goodness sake.

Since I’m closely covering Epstein survivors, I want to make this absolutely clear: I am not suicidal. I have no ideations. I have never attempted to harm myself. I’m not involved in CSAM. I don’t drink alcohol or use illegal substances. I’m a skilled driver.

No it isn't. I'm sitting under the patio heater.

That's what I call himself

ID Cards are like assisted dying laws. I've nothing against either in principal but I don't trust this lot to implement either in a way that won't adversely affect vulnerable people or generate billions in profit for the worst people in the world.

Wow, end stage capitalism or whatever these interesting times will be called, sure knows how to squeeze every piece of shitty value from their consumers. #anarchy metro.co.uk/2025/09/17/d...

"Technical error". Or in layman's terms: "a complete waste of time and resources by a government clumsily chasing right-wing populism." #FreePalestine www.theguardian.com/music/2025/s...

Won't somebody think of the wolves? *clutches pearls*

I'm in the car waiting for the eldest daughter. Who has 'popped in' to her workplace. She can gas for England, I'll be here hours.

Too much going on. Himself is very stressed about stuff out of our control and he, like me, self-medicates with alcohol. Except I just get silly and then fall asleep and he's a problematic drunk.

I have decided I'm going for a well deserved glass of 'shut up, brain' before I collect Rampton today. It is Friday. It has been a 'week' and my stupidly loud brain is doing 250mph, at least. Taking the corners on two wheels and everything.

Uncanny Live is in Brighton tonight and tomorrow. I can’t wait to see the show. It’s at the Theatre Royal Brighton which has many ghost stories attached and this episode of witw features a ghost story from there! www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p...

I'm fucking *tired* that in the name of some ill-defined poor left behind people who rally around Farage we must destroy life in this country for everyone who has the wrong passport or the wrong skin colour.

They are disguising total state control over EVERYONE as 'sticking it to immigrants' and the racist shitforbrains will lap it up because they're too stupid to understand this. It's intrusive government control, nothing more, nothing less.

I would 100% visit the dentist more often if she was there.

Grateful for the 'defender' keyring being given out on campus this week by security. Excuse me whilst I go and find the 'try not to attack anyone' stall.

And make it far easier for the police state, too. Fuck off with that noise.

Fascist

How are the redneck fuckwits going to sit on their front porch chewing a piece of straw now? Their terrible voting decision coming back to bite them on the arse.

ALWAYS film if you see any state fascists doing something revolting. This applies in the UK too.

One of the unexpected things I've learned from my advocacy for trans people is how malignant parts of the State can be, how it can misuse data for positively evil purposes. It's taught me people can't be safe with a digital ID card and so I've signed this. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Wow. I didn't think anything could make that revolting cretin even less attractive but he's proved me wrong.

Oh. Just remembered the snotty with a slight threatening undertone email I sent the school when I was pissed off yesterday. Going to get called into the Führer's lair for a bollocking, no doubt. Don't care, fuck 'em. Shouldn't be grabbing my son, of course I'm going to kick off.

Friday, you beautiful bastard. I've been waiting for you.

Feels like the No Tolerance Policy in schools set us up for this. Punished if you fight back.

Atticus came out of school, upset, again. He was stimming (he just makes noises, quietly, nothing drastic) because the corridor was too bright, crowded and noisy for him and one of the screws, I mean teachers, grabbed his arm and yanked him across the corridor.

hey ma, did you see I made the Forbes 30 Under 30 for unhinged posters. yeah it's like the Super Bowl for the mentally ill

No mention of Nigel and no picture of the nephew so women can be on their guard if they see him. So weird. Imagine if it was a relative of Starmer's or an asylum seeker.

Here he is: madebyredrose.co.uk/abuser/josep...

Today's nonsense news from school, not allowed clicky pens. Because the kids click them. Well, derr. It's like they've never met a kid before. And for once it wasn't my kid, he's got a non-clicky pen. But obviously now he wants a clicky pen to annoy them with.

I'm not cooking today because himself decided to get drunk and not eat his dinner yesterday. So he can have that. And for breakfast and in his work sandwiches, cold, every day until it's all gone.

I'm sitting in the car, putting off going back in the house because of housework I don't want to do. Where's that bloody meteorite when you need it?

The @whatgoespod.bsky.social Bluesky account is up and running... please tell your music loving friends to give us a follow for 50+ episodes of 'What Goes Around' with @djdebgrant.bsky.social and @eops.bsky.social A podcast more concerned with music lovers than music makers.

Urgh. That is all.

If it does no harm to a 5 to 20kg dog it's not going to hurt a 80kg human, I'd imagine. Antiparasitic drug though, so perhaps, if they're Tory, it might ...
