Just been looking at the stats for cis-on-cis violence. Extremely troubling stuff.

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

Just had a realisation: Andrew Tate is a drag king. He doesn't know it, but he is.

I am the kind of lonely That loops back into itself, And makes me withdraw. I pass by the cute boys Speaking their language That trills like a mandolin And wonder whether, If I spoke and understood, Things would be different.

I think I've said it before but as another domino (Kickstarter) falls to the prurient whims of Visa and MasterCard, it really feels like we need a new and uncensorable payment network, and it feels like this is what crypto was made for.

It's lucky for ABBA that they weren't called Carlos, Ulrike, Niccolo and Timotea.

All I really want is a husband who's financially comfortable and has lots of free time but is still radical anti-capitalist, will accept me and my many quirks/foibles and let me work on my weird shit instead of getting a real job, and is also hot, charming, funny, kinky etc. Is that so much to ask?

I love this essay very much!!!!

They're named Labour after another famous source of extreme pain

I had a lovely tarot session yesterday but it basically told me I need to trans tf up. Hmm...

Suffice it to say I will not be voting for the Poundland Nazis.

This is the single funniest thing I have ever seen Bluesky staff do.

they finally made this into a film, thank god

Peter Magyar's politics may not be a huge upgrade overall, but he is at least significantly more fuckable than Orban, and for that we should be thankful.

Well, it's been two months since my period of itinerance/homelessness and mostly-worklessness began. Still no closer to finding 'the next thing', really. Struggling with singleness too. In other circumstances (access to meds, resources) I'd probably try and channel this into some art. Sigh.

Six hours of riding today. 😩

14 tracks were recorded for the Ethel Murman Disco Album, and only seven made 'the cut'. Having listened to the Ethel Murman Disco Album, I would give my left nut to hear the seven that 'weren't good enough'.

Neon at God's Own Junkyard. Mood.

Back in the old neighborhood.

Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, in the hope I'll finally find the post that will change my life.

He tried to read an elementary economics text; it bored him past endurance, it was like listening to somebody interminably recounting a long and stupid dream.

I have tons of political words blocked on Bluesky and avoid the news in general, so I have no idea what's going on, but people seem very agitated about it.

I am a dummy. A total dummy.

AI is out there telling people to put garlic in their buttholes. Just thought you'd want to know.

A different perspective. Always helpful.

I do have some time on my hands today...

Oh hello again, infinite wellspring of self-loathing. It had been a few weeks hadn't it?

I have now seen the Cheeky Girls live. I suppose at the very least I am now a person who can say that.

The Northern Line is so noisy. It sounds like a combination of awakening an angry ghost and dropping a cupboard down the stairs.

I wish I could block ai on Bluesky but unfortunately it's a fairly common diphthong.

ai;dr

small crab eating a grape (important)

I feel sad today. :(

remember to ask out your crushes this morning and then simply go haha just an april fools as you sob if they say no

Waiting to go and make use of a guy in a basement and wondering if it will ever be my turn. Hard life.

No kings.

I'd like to see a politician say: "Some corporation owners threaten to cut and run if they're made to pay their fair share in taxes. They're forgetting supply and demand. If there's demand for what they offer, someone who is willing to play fair will take their place and supply it. ...

just this week: -- OpenAI killed Sora -- Disney subsequently cancelled its investment in OpenAI -- Wikipedia is now banning LLM-generated content ...tell me again how this is all "inevitable" and you have to "get on board or get left behind"?

I realized today that all the gayboys having mullets and moustaches now must be because they're modelling themselves after the Chuckle Brothers and now I can't unsee it.

As a child I was a very avid reader. I secretly read the first four Harry Potter books at my cousin's (wasn't allowed at home because witchcraft) and, just sayin, even then I wasn't particularly impressed or grabbed by them. Kinda boggles my mind that so many full grown adults are still obsessed.

In Edinburgh for a couple of nights, and I'm going to start a thread of things I've learned about myself on my travels. 1: I like Marmite. Took 34 years to get around to trying it. Time wasted.

Ruh roh. :x

My world, my Earth is a ruin. A planet spoiled by the human species. We multiplied and fought and gobbled until there was nothing left, and then we died. We controlled neither appetite nor violence; we did not adapt. We destroyed ourselves. But we destroyed the world first.
