Aggressive and highly unusual tax avoidance robs the NHS and schools of £600,000. Not so patriotic really are you Reform?

Enough of the funeral dirges Mary #TheOtherBennetSister

So he’s gone straight from public school, up to Oxford and then into the Church. Now he’s expected to do his duty and find a wife. Poor sod. #TheOtherBennetSister

All the social awkwardness then #TheOtherBennetSister

Charlotte being Professor Buzzkill there #TheOtherBennetSister

_Everything_ Charlotte? #TheOtherBennetSister

Sure to be a winning strategy 😬 #TheOtherBennetSister

Poor bugger. And he knows. #TheOtherBennetSister

Here we go. Bucket of cold water time #TheOtherBennetSister

Aww they are nerding out #TheOtherBennetSister

God, I know that feeling #TheOtherBennetSister

Yep. Caroline Bingley is still a total cow #TheOtherBennetSister

Mrs Bennet is one of literature's great monsters. I know this isn't Austen, but the book is pretty true to her characters.

Wear the glasses! #TheOtherBennetSister

“What do you use this room for?” “Yes”

What the fuck did you think she was going to the optician for, you hideous old cow? #TheOtherBennetSister

Poor Mary. Speccy four-eyes #TheOtherBennetSister

I’m hoping that the BBC is raising its game, what with Small Prophets, Lord of the Flies and now #TheOtherBennetSister

Have Monkey and Mungo Jerry ever been seen in the same room? #sts70s I think not

Creator of some of my favourite things on BlueSky. If I ever improbably become famous, I want to be immortalised as a small felt mouse.

So the usual Reform wankers are attacking Hannah Spencer for her clothing. Sorry? What? Pardon?

Happy Sunday evening to all who celebrate

I feel like this should be the shape of more general use AI conversations. It's good to respond "No, I use my own mind for that."

No, I am not worried about 'declining' birth rates, I accept them as post-modern birth rates, the birth rates that naturally happen once the conditions are set that children can be expected to survive to adulthood reliably and that women are allowed to be educated and become full citizens.

In 44BC it took 60 senators to stab Julius Caesar to death. Crazy to think that nowadays, thanks to modern technology, he could be killed by one senator running him over with a snowplow

I heard an advert for The Apprentice (UK) on my podcast app. A soundclip from the show stated “this is the toughest game show on TV”. Which, frankly, I found insulting on behalf of every other game show on TV. Including the ones on CBeebies.

Everything is being corrupted by a single Silicon Valley belief: that for every question there's a correct answer. Life isn't meant to be enjoyed, but "won." Turn your food into nutrient paste, inject yourself with illegal proteins, and finish the marathon by taking a taxi.
