While the economy sucks for younger people, it's made so much worse by landlords A month of rent should not be the same as a mortgage payment. My folks said my biggest financial commitment would be buying a house, but nowadays renting is just agreeing to buy some cunt their 3rd house for them.

"What if we made every decision by focus group, but also they could use slurs"

Guh, body is recovering from the muscles actually being used, my shoulders and upper arms are just dull aching all day now ;w;

Apart from being a gutless bigoted weak nasty man Starmer's claim to be a friend of Zelenskyy with photo-ops full of hugs and smiles didn't last long. Any PM who panders to the Trump regime and betrays Ukraine must have a political life expectancy measured in days. He has to go. No ifs no buts.

"all the world's gems are mine to keep"

Needed a small win with the car after all of the everything so I did a quick repair on the soft top. Looks a bit shit but no longer leaks so that's a win

Watched the rise of starwalker last night It was very very very bad.

Ooog one of my vr base stations has died on me. I'm hoping steam support are kind even though I'm just outside of the 2 year warranty. If I'm lucky they'll see that I'm a "3 base stations and a set of trackers" type nerd and correctly assume I'm buying a frame day 1 and fix it on goodwill...

It's heartbreaking to not be taking the MG to ConFuzzled, but also the weather rn is bullshit so it's not like we're in ideal convertible weather anyway

Well he can forget us standing aside then

It's well known that Alan Turing was a gay man, but we really have to consider the possibility it was a cover story, and she was actually a trans musician on a mission to create the worst sound a machine had ever made (to put it on her next EP) and accidentally cracked the enigma code as a byproduct

Whelp, coolant in the cockpit means the MG isn't making it for CFz... I was so fucking close too. I think it's the metal hoses rather than a clip, and that's money/time/effort which I aint got also I nearly lost my thumb when we got the engine in because a strap snapped, so that was good.

Something I’ll always stand on.

Today, in the world of car; Fitted the new brake & clutch lines I made up Polished & refitted the stainless coolant pipes Regreased & resealed a CV joint Fitted the Silicone hoses to the radiator Negotiated the hateful world of imperial fittings for the new lines Rust-treated more crusty metal

The nice thing about VERY online trans infighting is that it reaches a point where people create collectives to other everyone else, legitimise themselves & make a bunch of terms that only make sense if you're fully dedicated to discourse If a beef needs a glossary it makes it much easier to ignore

my school had both a pool and gym, as well as being in wales so occasionally doing rugby. i was fine with all of these, swimming was my favourite, but I also liked badminton, and at least in rugby EVERYONE comes away with bruises. naturally we got "football for the bullies every fucking time".

RE: the shit that the CFz team have been dealing with because of a tiny faction of puriteen pricks: if you don't like what you see in explicitly queerspace events that center diversity and safety for all of their attendees, have you considered shutting the fuck up and making your own space instead?

New skill gained today :3 Made new Brake & Clutch lines for the MG... Yeah... having my first line being a very twisty 10ft bugger of a clutch line in 1/4" Kunifer was a bit of a baptism by fire, but I managed to do it :D Also, booked in for MOT on Tuesday!

The ‘poor sales means only 173 of the stainless steel pickup trucks will actually need to be recalled ‘ is both perfect, accurate and excellent snark

One of the weird things to get used to for me this year is that slimming doesn't just mean "weight number go smaller" I genuinely think I've got less tummy fat than last year when I was 4kg lighter than present, but because I've gained muscle the hard number doesn't match what I see in the mirror

It's a good thing that I don't have any Ecuadorian friends, because I literally can't hear the country name of Ecuador without going ♪ ᴇᴇᴇᴇᴄᴜᴀᴅᴏʀʀʀʀʀ ♫ in response because of this fucking song (It happens every time I hear @tldrnews.bsky.social mention Ecuador in their magazine ad-read ;_;)

Wealth Tax Fixes Everything, No One Paying Even A Little Bit of Attention Remotely Surprised

I'm feeling quietly confident about the MG making it to ConFuzzled. I'm paring back the scope a little, barely touching the front end at all (I'll do it after the con) but I think by the end of this week I'll have everything from its inspection sorted and I can go and try and get her an MOT

COMMS OPEN FOR JUNE AND FORWARD i was going to take next month off but looks like i might be moving in two months so its time to get back to grindstone reposts appreciated greatly if your interested please fill out the forum hoping to hear from yall soon! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

A sneak peak into the development of indie games:

I once had to drive through¹ Loughborough²³ and thought⁴ I hit a bough⁵, which would've been bad because I didn't have the dough⁶ to cough⁷ up to fix the vehicle. If you told an English town to shed a swamp you could say: Slough⁵ slough² slough⁸. ¹ oo ² uff ³ ah ⁴ aw ⁵ ow ⁶ oh ⁷ off ⁸ ew

Today was a fucking horrid day on the car and everything aches and I achieved fuck all over 10 hours and I was almost squished by my engine and gearbox falling off their stands onto me and now my arms and legs are noodly and weak ooooooog.

Laura Kussenburg can fucking do one, she keeps pushing John Swinney on "WILL YOU GIVE UP ON INDYREF 2 IF YOU ONLY WIN A NORMAL AMOUNT INSTEAD OF A LANDSLIDE" Aye Laura, I was just considering fucking off my whole personal & party core policy after 5 consecutive polls for Yes thanks to your framing

So much as the month of constant car work has been gruelling, my body is definitely looking better for it. I've SIGNIFICANTLY slimmed down, whilst simultaneously getting absolutely ripped in my arms

I can't stop thinking about this video since I saw it last night

labour's anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies will never win them any votes, because "the UK's problems are caused by immigrants" is both a fundamentally incorrect idea and trivial to outflank on the right. "well, we'll be twice as tough on immigrants then. vote reform"

I would like to wish all reform a merry dysentery

WE WON. Amnesty named me People’s Human Rights Champion for exposing a scandal in British healthcare. My team and I found abuse, neglect, conversion therapy, and deaths, all ignored by NHS managers. See the story: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_S5w... Support our work: www.patreon.com/c/Philosophy...

Mate the right wing really are thick as pig shit. The Project 2025 which is directly responsible for such popular policies as "ICE" and "ICE Detention Camps" and "ICE Occupying major cities" Oh yeah, one of those please? Get in, the optics are great Same shit as when Reform were pushing for DOGE.

Not only are we stronger standing together than we are fighting within, but we're happier, more comfortable and more able to explore new experiences (𝚊𝚕𝚜𝚘, 𝚒𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞'𝚛𝚎 𝚍𝚘𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚒𝚍𝚙𝚘𝚕 𝚌𝚞𝚕𝚝𝚞𝚛𝚎 𝚠𝚊𝚛 𝚋𝚞𝚕𝚕𝚜𝚑𝚒𝚝, 𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞'𝚛𝚎 𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚝 𝚘𝚏 𝚊 𝚖𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚝 𝚠𝚑𝚒𝚌𝚑 𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚍 𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚢 𝚠𝚑𝚎𝚗 𝚎𝚙𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚒𝚗 𝚐𝚘𝚝 𝚖𝚘𝚘𝚝 𝚝𝚘 𝚖𝚊𝚔𝚎 /𝚙𝚘𝚕/)

Eurgh, I think I need to slow down on car work, I'm basically perpetually exhausted lately

next week @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social is announcing the biggest regression of lgbt+ rights in british history and our first ever segregation laws labour use words like 'progress' as marketing catchphrases this is the most regressive, bigoted, short-sighted, and nasty government of the last 50 years

Thank you brain, yes, you did have a trauma nightmare about the MG getting stolen last night, but at least you woke up and went "Motherfucker it's on stands, the wheels are in a pile on the drive and the engine is in the garage" before going back to sleep 😂

This colour is only temporary, the Buzzweld protection which I'm putting on is a 3 layers; Rustproofing (orange) followed by foam insulation (white) and then a top layer of protective seal (Will be a teal type colour, but I have black too) but I do quite like this Hotwheels-esque orange on blue.

The Anglos to this day will fight to enshrine their right to shoot Irish people in the street because they fundamentally view us as an inferior people

The recent announcement about Anthropic joining the Blender Development Fund as a Corporate Patron member has raised concerns from the community around how we engage with AI topics. This is how we plan to address the issue: www.blender.org/news/upcomin... #b3d #DevFund

I picked up my Switch for the first time in what must be 4 years to play Tomodachi Life, and after using my Steam Deck 𝕒 𝕝𝕠𝕥 in that time, god the switch feels impossibly tiny in comparison.

Literally considering repainting the MG in Emerald Green lmao
