The worst thing about being single, is not wanting to bother my many friends when I feel down. They're busy. I hate feeling like a needy sadsack if I ever kinda need to talk about my feelings. In other news, the cutest little fox-cub now seems to live on my road. Maybe he'll listen to me moan...

Party town problems. Pub full of excited football supporters. I am viciously, aggressively, making sure I get a seat in the shade. I don't care about football, I will leave before it begins. But I have been bicycling in a heatwave. /1

Name a film with a title which is a full sentence.

At some point, probably 3am some evening soon, Trump will run into Michelle Obama's speech today. And even though he won't understand all of the words, or any of the subtleties... He's going to explode with racist bullshit on his weird version of X and it will be so fucking bonkers...

So I had a (vaguely complex) but fun evening tonight. Where, in the "shy people" corner, I met someone, who was shy, but also *really fucking awesome*. We talked a lot of computer science, and she was beautiful. And we've both got weird security protocols so we only meet if I cook her dinner.

Has Trump gone mental about the scaffolding fun yet ? The whiney horrible dickhead of man must have been fuming ? Has he spewed out a bunch of misspelt bullshit or AI pictures of him being God or whatever ? Or is he still busy stealing american's money and shitting a diaper ?

Me too. 😅

I love my funny little party town by the seaside. Pub is rammed. Hen night of sexy cowgirls etc. Door security guy has wandered over the road to discuss stuff in the art gallery window with some bloke who looks like Anchorman...

I was just involved in a thought experiment which ended up with both the most terrifying version of the "Roko's basilisk" end-game. But also a *really* sexy version. Also, really terrifying. Sleep tight. x

Anthony Head was an Ambassador for Battersea Dogs and Cats home for more than two decades. Thanks for everything Tony x

If you claim to love this country, but you also hate anyone: young, woke, black, brown, gay, left wing, funny accent, drives an EV, supports different football team etc etc then you don't love the country you just love a small subset of the country similar to you.

About once every 3 months I just feel very grumpy and buy a bag of jam doughnuts from the co-op. It's a rare thing. Happened today. But I accidentally bought them at Tesco. There's 5 doughnuts. Co-op has 4. I just keep staring at them, baffled...

I feel kind of bad suggesting this, because it feels a bit rude, and like I'm stereotyping a culture I find primitive. But how about the USA celebrates it's 250th Anniversary by just having a moment of silence. About 3 months should do it. Just let the World breathe in and out. No shouting. Calm...

Window-frame's flush with the wall, leaving nowhere to put your candles or indoor plant ? Sill issue...

somebody tell WeRateDogs

My biggest regret about the festival I went to last weekend: I didn't tell the bloke who was dressed as a gnome, that I really enjoyed his happy gnome dance when the band kicked off...

Top tip. If you're feeling sulky about being randomly single and decide to just go and do something nice for yourself... Don't go to the ballet. Even if it's a really pretty, cool, Dracula-based ballet. Watching scripted, beautiful gestures of romance and passion? Not a great plan tbh...

"School Hard" S02:03 is very important and should be watched and discussed at length by younger people. I will not answer questions on this topic.

Aw... a very tiny person (3yo-ish) just came to my table, utterly fascinated by my weird look. She was absolutely charming. Unfortunately she burst into tears when she was told off for touching a stranger's trousers (definitely good advice tbf)... Happy (?) World Goth Day all!

ever since i was little i knew i wanted everyone to shut the fuck up

If AI is so good how come it's so shit 🤔

Breakfast for dinner tonight...

How the fuck are they going to do this ? "Honey I shrunk the Royals"

In a fairly random conversation today; I was asked about cute celebrity couples. I vaguely mentioned @bencollins.bsky.social and @katmabu.bsky.social. Then remembered I live in England, and nobody had a clue who I was talking about and told me off for not watching telly enough.

Zohran Mamdani seems nice.

Thoughts about a seaside town. Half of your opportunity map is - y'know - the sea. Weirdly, half of your opportunity *calendar* is - just cold rainy nights with a constant wind blowing from the north, and an empty town. Then the sun comes out. Which means nothing. And then the *awful* wind stops.

being homophobic and transphobic in 2026? eyuckkkkk get a lifeeeee losersssss

Zack Polanski seems nice. Can't relax, spent the evening talking about leaflets and politics. Did have a boogie at the drag night though. Progressive activists are lovely though, mums helping each other with babies, or dogs, or collecting rubbish, doing first-aid care for a passing drunken tourist..

Just seen my first "pissed bloke who really should have kept his shirt on" of Summer. Nature is marvelous...

I know it's a silly jokey joke, but people REALLY need to stop anthropomorphizing their boyfriends. "My boyfriend told me" your boyfriend didn't "tell" you anything. "My boyfriend thinks..." your boyfriend can't actually think or feel; just output a convincing simulation of it based on probability 🙄

We don’t need talkers right now. We need fighters. And no matter how many times they knock me down, I’ll get back up and fight with you. Every. Single. Time.

Wow.

Macbeth: SHIT

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government. Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’ I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

I'm impressed at how logistically, Sabrina Carpenter is like the perfect height to host the Muppets

Not sure whether I'd be happier to hear the White House press team ask about Minneapolis's nomination for the Nobel Prize, or for someone to bluntly ask about the President shitting himself on live telly the other week. Shame they probably won't ask either question...

Hannah Spencer seems a far nicer person than Matt Goodwin.

One of the great British tragedies of recent decades is the collapse of its university system. Wrecked by disastrous Govt policy experimentation followed by neglect, and a totally incompetent, vindictive executive class. Utterly fucked now. Well done pricks.

Meet @katmabu.bsky.social, running for Congress in IL-09. She’s part of the next generation of leaders, ready to take on a political system that’s failed working people for far too long. Support the Next-Gen: secure.actblue.com/donate/katvi...

Urgh. Job hunt is getting to me... This is unlikely to help - but I do find it hard to be dishonest. I blame @edzitron.com for finally flipping out a bit... (in a good way!)

Controversial elder Goth opinion. The best Christmas film is the BBC's "The World Of Peter Rabbit & Friends - The Tailor of Gloucester". Muppets Christmas Carol: very good. Tailor of Gloucester: even better.
