I feel like the fact he is (according to himself) taking a cocktail of meth and anabolic steroids is not mentioned enough when discussing him.

Finished it (book 15 this year). Review as follows:

would you not want the guy running you country to be able to discern the difference between a doctor and actual Jesus Christ

i put the kenan and kel theme song over the intro to mad men

book 13 this year was Apostles of Mercy by Lindsay Ellis. Third in a first-contact series that mixes action and literal politics. This leans more action than the second book and I enjoyed the introduction of a new, different alien species. Probably one character too many but hope for a fourth book.

Recommendations for EVERY Dan Brown book and nary an Alice Bell book on the any time I’ve been here, I’m going to start a letter writing campaign to the Smiths bookshop in Gatwick.

In a survey of over 3000 men 18-34, 95.1% admitted to having used coercive tactics to get a woman to have sex with them. We keep not really facing these results as a society because they’re an absolute nightmare. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

People routinely allowed in NHS women’s wards without question: - cis male doctors - cis male nurses - cis male porters - cis male cleaners - cis male catering staff - cis male visitors Etc, ad infinitum List of people who should be banned from said wards, for some reason: - Trans women patients

Please appreciate the detail on Mary Magdalene at my local church’s Easter tomb diorama. That woman is SHOCKED

A related evil: obvious ADR along the lines of 'it's [thing that was clearly established in multiple previous scenes]!'

Issuing a formal invitation for JD Vance to come to London and endorse Farage

did the first 50 pages today and, lads, is this just beauty and the beast?

The self-appointed "leaders" of the Fuel Protests are truly scum of the Earth. Why our media choose to interview the likes of Duffy here re the protests is beyond me. Do they really think he cares one iota about anyone but his own self?

The new feminist thinking is that cis women are just bad at _everything_

Hello! I have built a new thing that I hope will be useful to people. It's a calendar of *new* games coming out over the next year. Every release schedule I see includes ports and Nintendo Switch 2 Editions and I hate it, so I made this. I hope you find it useful! releasecalendar.games

I’m seeing @misterabk.bsky.social in Swindon tonight and the friend who was coming with me can’t make it. Any takers? Free to a good home (who can be in Swindon at 8pm this evening)

I mean, this is a grim way to define living a full life but also overstates how much regular modern life is ease.

and yet, by escaping gravity's pull, her father has become one of the least leashed freaks in history

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

Might become a prepper lads

CYA, I greatly admire what you do, but this is the 2nd time I’ve spotted you using an AI generated image to promote your comp, which is so disappointing. I’d love to know how you justify this, given the widely-known impact of genAI on the writing and illustration industries bsky.app/profile/ldla...

Good day to share one of my favourite Onion headlines — theonion.com/report-ronan...

i believe in redemption, grace, restorative justice and second chances. but nobody is entitled to wealth, fame, or mass adoration—and if a path back to all that even exists for louis c.k., it ran in the opposite direction from putting on a tie and doing “trigger the libs” bits in saudi arabia

Calling it done for now for my little sculpey "Rocky". A+ little guy from a fantastic film adaptation of a book (Project Hail Mary) y'all should see if you haven't! #projecthailmary #sculpey #miniaturepainting #minipainting

took a picture of my week old niece where she looks like Jean-Luc Picard looking out of the window while thinking about that archaeologist chick that Q sniped

Also— in the UK, authors get paid when you borrow their books from the library! (Paperbacks, hardbacks, e-books and audio all.)

It really cannot be overstated that COVID happened, suddenly a bunch of absentee tech dads were forced to stay home where they saw their kids playing Animal Crossing while talking on Discord, then collectively decided to light a trillion dollars on fire to make Snow Crash IRL.

“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”

it being called junk food is language functioning as intended! Nobody eats a whole bag of Doritos and thinks it's good for them!

This is not a 'masculinity crisis', it's a misogyny crisis. This is not a problem with 'masculinity'-- millions of men model positive masculinity every day. This is a problem of male violence. Stop calling it 'masculinity'. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Jank has been going for 2 months. In that time we’ve published over 100 articles. We are not fuckin around. Here's a rundown of our work so far. www.jank.cool

Comedy Without Errors' series is basically required watching re. Louis C.K. Especially the first part, where he interrogates his own response as a big fan of Louis. youtu.be/93nMBtXVAfM

Book 12 this year was Queer As Folklore by @sachacoward.bsky.social! Super interesting, accessible non-fic and I learned a lot! I found the pirate, hero and deeeeath chapters especially cool.

it’s true that overall likes are way down on bluesky over the past year. however, if you look closely at the data, that’s mostly an anomaly resulting from the fact that your posts specifically have gotten worse and are dragging the vibe down.

he looks like Sans???
