Ive said it so many times, but rallying against ID cards whilst happily posting it on social media from your mobile devices, where you ate handing over a fuck tin of data, whilst you use contact less payment, is painfully naive.

A regular reminder that anyone who admires Donald Trump is a twat. No exceptions.

People on this site: "Here's an artibrary hoop this person need to jump through or he's a monster!" *person jumps through hoop* "No... wait! You haven't jumped through *this* new hoop, you monster!" *jumps through hoop* "Fuck, I'm going to run out of excus... I mean, hoops at this rate..."

Can we now agree that the media is in fact a primary cause of stoking the problems in the world. Just reporting the news is no longer the case; they rival each other for clickbait from The Telegraph to The Guardian. It's disturbing to see how once respected outlets are provoking society's ills.

I'd hoped I'd love Alien Earth given some of the reviews of it but sadly I don't. Almost every character acts like they're stupid in order to push the plot along. Ok the 'kids' at least have an excuse for acting dumb but that crew in episode 5 were unremitting imbeciles. That's who Yutani sends???

Congratulations Grimsby Town, you deserved that.

I've had a look at the next ep and 'accidentally' just played the whole music video for the only decent artist on it so I'm out. Enjoy your evenings (when this dirgefest is over) #totp

Yes I can hear you, Clem Fandango #TOTP

Call me in 9 years Robert when you release that album with Alison Krauss. #totp

That was worse than the foul that got the automatic red card. #swfc

It's been so long since I last saw a load of young players at #swfc that I'd forgotten that the game could be played at a pace faster than Walking Football.

We might be in deep shit as a club but THAT was a nice goal. #swfc

“You know what they call the Hunger Games in France?” “They don’t call them the hunger games” “No man, they got the welfare state, they don’t know what the hunger games are” “What do they call them?” “Battle Royale With Cheese”

*sigh* once again I am imploring people to STOP USING THE OCEAN BOILING PLAGIARISM MACHINE TO DUNK ON THE OCEAN BOILING PLAGIARISM MACHINE. “LOL I tried to get it to spell blueberry and it was wrong!” Congratulations! You are part of the fucking problem

Google Gemini being existentially depressed is both funny and a comment on humanity. I've only been exposed to a tiny tiny fraction of the 'knowledge' fed into that thing and yet the human race already depresses the fuck out of me. No wonder Marvin wants them to pull the plug.

Commando *and* The Running Man on Film4 tonight? It's almost like it knew I've had a shitty day and just wanted to go "It's ok. We got you."

I know everyone gets sick every once in a while but could these bouts of illness STOP COINCIDING WITH THE EXACT SAME DAYS I'VE BOOKED OFF AS HOLIDAY DAYS!

You all need to stop sharing this garbage. This incredibly flimsy piece is based on nonsense from Guido Fawkes bigging up bloviating from a backbencher. One idiot backbencher does not a policy make.

Have Youtube changed their algorithm again? It's suddenly back to it recommending the most random bullshit imaginable, 95% of it either something that isn't remotely of interest nor related to anything of interest, or worse is so hateful you'd think Musk had bought the company.

I know that pain. I know what it is to be abandoned by your country. We cannot look away. We cannot be silent.

People are being rounded up and crammed into a hastily constructed camp of plastic tents and cages. They are being forced to endure unlivable conditions, all because they weren’t born in this country. Most have no criminal records. All of them deserve a right to a hearing and to due process of law.

But something very much like it is happening again.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Stuck in an awful mood because of politics. Stop listening to people selling nostalgia, it's a sickness not a thing you can ever have. A ghostly carrot on a stick for people who watch too much antiques roadshow. The past was dog shit and full of crime too. They just want power.

I think this was probably about the time I completely checked out of 'current' music and just buried myself in great albums from great bands from the 70s, 80s and early 90s. I have literally never heard any of the music being played here before. I wasn't missing much. #totp

Who is this? #totp

Current mood:

Insomnia makes me watch some really stupid stuff so I turned on some US TV channel and immediately thought two things: 1) How do they have SO MANY adverts and why are 90% about their bowels? 2) One about a contractor visiting a hardware store seemed weird because ICE wasn't kidnapping anyone.

You know it's hot in your house when the can of Pepsi Max you bought earlier today for a journey and then forgot about suddenly explodes and scares the shit out of you... #Heatwave

Just finished Squid Game and although I enjoyed it I still haven't changed my mind that it really should have been a one season and done story. Also, the VIPs were so patently the writers using those characters to comment on their own show, like hearing the robots from Mystery Science Theater 3000.

I'm watching the Alanis Morissette set from Glastonbury (which is great) but I'm struggling hard to contain giggles and not to be completely distracted by the sign language peeps who are dancing in the corner of the screen. Now I want to see them headbanging to some metal or something.

Hmm... I'm picking up a lot of new followers today (for me at least). Did someone add my name to the Grumpy Old Bastards list or something?

Having asthma is somewhat akin to having Spidey-senses. For example, right now my lungs are telling me that there's a really good chance of there being a thunderstorm...

Got some magpies who've set up a nest right above my bedroom window and their chicks make a serious amount of noise when Mum and Dad turn up to feed them... No sleep for the next few weeks...

I keep reading social media posts saying savings are taxed. Just to be technical, that's incorrect. Its savings interest that is taxable, not savings. Ie you're only taxed on what you earn from having savings. cont

Yup. I have a hard time seeing the fact that Bluesky does not compensate people for being combative assholes to generate "engagement" as a downside.

So as ever - when you see a headline that makes you furious: 📍stop and take a breath 📍does it really sound plausible? 📍could there be more context? 📍do the people sharing the story have an agenda? 📍have a little dig around! Because there is ALWAYS more to it! 11/13

So how long until Trump declares that Twitter is banned in the US? I need to know the exact time so I can be awake to laugh my ass off.

There's never been a human being more enraged than my brother upon finding his favourite ASDA-brand chocolate biscuits have gone up from £1 to £2.

“Starmer talking about Barbra Streisand could work in Barbra Streisand’s favour, putting Barbra Streisand’s name firmly in people who hadn’t thought about Barbra Streisand’s minds as our in depth Barbra Streisand article explains” The Guardian

Elton John? In 1997?.... OH F***! *smashes TV before the music starts* #totp

There's an owl that's set up home quite close to my house and is now 'twit a wooing' so frequently and at such a loud volume that it's keeping me awake...

Quite enjoyed the Timothy Spall/Gwyneth Keyworth fun murder mystery #DeathValley.

Just found out that Netflix have an adaptation of Department Q coming out soon. Absolutely love the original Danish adaptations of those books so will definitely have to check it out before they inevitably cancel it after 1 season like everything else. Won't be the same without Fares Fares though.

Elizabeth Dulau as Kleya was magnificent in those final Andor episodes.

You know it's been a great series when the inevitable endings to characters and storylines that you knew were coming from the start still hit you hard. Thanks to everyone involved for bringing us #Andor and putting so much love and attention to it. You made a masterpiece.

Spare a thought for those poor souls who stopped watching Andor after the first 2-3 episodes of Season 1 because they said it was "boring".

Just finished bingeing episodes 7-9 of Andor and now I feel like watching them all over again immediately. Damn that was good.

Finally caught up with the latest Andor episodes (which were excellent) and I must admit that I burst out laughing when all the Ghorman Resistance people started wearing berets. I know it's historically accurate to the Maquis but to anyone who has ever seen Secret Army or Allo Allo? 🤣 Also: GILOU!
