I've said it before, that the worst thing about this place is the Holier Than Thou Squad, but I love you can just block them, however, yesterday I hit my limit.

Goin gto bed. I feel absolutely miserable. Must try to avoid being online.

No, YOU drank a whole bottle of wine because you wasted a whole day being at work and being in stupid nasty arguments on the internet with people who didn't even disagree with you.

School leavers disco, this. It was so loud I sang out loud at that school for the first time because I knew nobody would notice. (I mimed all the way through assemblies in the Midlands because being able to sing would have stood out. They all sounded like a farmyard.) #totp

I have danced drunkenly to this SO MANY TIMES it feels like an old friend. #totp

Peope were stil saying 'Depechay' then? #totp

Ohmygodohmygod The London Boys!

I still want to get all the things done today I meant to do but I am too tired now. :(

God I feel awful. What a horrible day.

I had a plan tonight to cook something lovely, and I ended up going out and getting wine and pizza, so if anyone was wishing me harm earlier, pretty much, well done.

My grudge-holding is of such Taurean epic quality I can never forget the Beastie Boys' first UK tour had female cage dancers. #totp

Hastings St Clement’s #Sussex where Dante Gabriel Rossetti married Lizzie Siddal & where my husbands ancestors were baptised and married. #Hastings

Great response to people who don’t read fiction (from The Assistant by Bernard Malamud)

I might just go to bed. I haven't been able to get anything at all done today, I've worked solidly without lunch. I feel absolutely wretched.

*mutes fucking ID cards*

Finally packing in work. Really should have had lunch. M ight get some wine.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

From the incomparable @robinince.bsky.social 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 "This is one of the mightiest books I have ever read - sometimes I wanted to turn away from it but the vortex created is so powerful you cannot escape from it - it is fireworks and pinched flesh and it will not leave you quietly."

Great article here on the much needed Basic Income for the Arts Please read

bullseye! that popular idea the british people have been lobbying for for years. i swear starmer is the only man on earth who could throw a dart and have it land in the back of his own head.

I hope there will come a day soon where it dawns on someone in Starmer’s team that their strategy of communicating “Nigel Farage is right about everything but please vote for us instead” is fuelling these disastrous figures rather than mitigating them, but today is not that day

I do think the British are mental when it comes to ID cards, but if they make you put M or F on them I am absolutely joining you on the barricades, though, because fuck that shit.

Oh my God, did I have to get someone to sign my photo when I got my first passport, I can't remember back to 1994? SO stupid. Such classist nonsense. Assuming you know a judge or something and implying they're more honest than a plumber.

Usual Toria luck is back in full effect now I've moved house. Spotted falcon on church spire. Ran to get digital SLR with decent zoom. Battery went flat.

The peregrine falcon just flew past and I once again failed to get a picture as my phone was charging.

Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

Weather update: Put cardigan on because too cold. Took cardigan off because too hot.

#NowPlaying One of those inexplicable brilliant sui generis songs. Like (word used advisedly) “Song to the Siren“ or “Why Can’t We Live Together” by Timmy Thomas. open.spotify.com/track/4XCGfH...

Your occasional reminder that ‘hooray, I’ve got a job with a BIG company!’ is almost always a misplaced celebration as a creative person. This in particular is awful - a design literally stolen from an artist, then used on a separate project.

Thank you for the reminder of the time Jason Manford issued a notes apology because his tribute to Brucie being under the Palladium unintentionally sounded like he is in Hell.

I always enjoy reading the TripAdvisor London Forum because I'm fascinated to see what foreign tourists expect, what they ask about and what surprises them. I thought this post from someone from Texas was a really lovely and cheering comment about riding the tube late at night

I haven't had breakfast and I always eat breakfast, but all the food I could have for breakfast is putting me right off, that's a really peculiar an unfamiliar kind of feeling unsettled. So the first thing is to have a word wth myself and some toast.

"For... interesting holidays". Something about the spookily lit trees in the foreground makes this feel like the kind of poster you'd catch sight of on a mildewed wall in the early minutes of an MR James adaptation. (SMG: collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co23...)

Engraving two bullets with "this bullet only lies" and "this bullet only tells the truth" to really stump the FBI

a matador's goal is to avoid physical contact

Isn't it funny, I find Marine Hyde's columns quite amsuing, but if I see/hear her on that podcast I can't not remember that she used to shag Piers Morgan.

There was me, all pleased that I managed to put CDs on my PC and have them on my phone, but now my PC goes off when I get a WhatsApp message. Oh bugger.

This is huge: “A drug that provides near-perfect protection against H.I.V. with shots just twice a year will be made available at $40 per patient annually in low- and middle-income countries, offering new hope… making lenacapavir a realistic choice in countries with constrained resources.”

ladies if he’s a matador that is a huge red flag

You can just make up anything these days and the media will call it "unproven" rather than "a load of utter bollocks"

Might have annoyed people at work by referring to AI as 'an ouroboros of bullshit'.

Due to popular demand this is now available in our shop, ie I can draw one for you. They’re not prints, I draw each one individually. www.worldofmoose.com/collections/...

Work is quiet so am looking up 'places to stay in Orkney'. Any tips?

They're interviewing one of those patriots on tv at the moment, nice to see he's buying local

Spaced (and also Shaun of the Dead) were so PERFECTLY made for people my age it was ridiculous. Aah, now all I have is the Shipping Forecast...
