Repeat after me: I am not meatier than Greta Garbo. I am not meatier than Luigi Mangione. I am not meatier than Scott Adams. I am not meatier than Jim Varney. But if I stand back and watch and learn, I will be meatier than I am.

The fact that a neo-Nazi teenager who attempted to behead a Kurdish barber in Bristol last year has just been sentenced to almost 20 years in prison isn’t *national* news is enormously telling. It’s really not just a South West story, is it?

Men will do *anything* except go to therapy

You: please act normal, you need these people to like you Me: ok! People: hi Me: The human genome only contains about 20,000 genes, but over a million copies of an ancient virus-like sequence called 'Alu' & half a million copies of another called 'L1' & together they make up 27% of your DNA.

the banter outcome. IPO is off, SpaceX merges into Tesla, millions of shares flood the market

I wonder if senior people at Fox News etc ever sit back and worry with abject horror at what might befall them if the Dems ever get back control and not unreasonably install their version of Brendan Carr at the FCC. www.ft.com/content/d62d...

The spate of far right grooming gangs inspiring teenagers to commit terrorist attacks is a story you’d think should be much bigger than it is. This is going to keep happening & we have MPs and papers who’ll keep making excuses for it

WallStreetBets' comment letter on the SEC's proposal to scrap quarterly earnings reports was surprisingly excellent. And it touched upon a big but under-appreciated issue I've been thinking about for a while. www.ft.com/content/9cc7...

as a registered member of the woke brigade, unfortunately my position is that the porn star Reform councillor should not have been forced to quit as a Reform councillor. god having the correct moral and political opinions is annoying

this is excellent cinematography though

It is an endless embarrassment that Schröder is still an SPD member. The man is a literal Russian agent and board member of Gazprom.

verrrrry tired of people who haven't taken any notice of what labour's proposed changes mean in practical terms

All restaurant closures are sad, but the just-announced end of the Spaghetti House group after over 70 years, is especially so. We take the diversity of our restaurant sector for granted, but it started with pioneering family run businesses like Spaghetti House. Farewell. www.spaghettihouse.co.uk

as I was saying

We now have denialists of Israeli sexual violence against Palestinian prisoners shouting at denialists of Oct 7 Palestinian sexual violence against Israelis. And all of them hate the NYT and screaming "hoax". Despicable people. All of you

On that day, the fash 'peacefully expressed' themselves by doing sig heils and throwing full beer bottles and cans, fireworks and trash at us while we were kettled outside a Trafalgar tourist shop for several hours. This has, for some strange reason, never been mentioned in the papers

BBC News is honestly diabolical these days. Shallow and trite analysis, and acting as an insidious cover for racism and transphobia under the veil of ‘neutrality. Their coverage of the locals and Reform was completely nauseating also

"The UK is an open, tolerant and generous nation" is what politicians say before hitting you with the most xenophobic stuff you've ever seen.

oh no I have ordered another book based on a bluesky thread. it's time for an intervention

One unpopular thing I have concluded from every history book I've ever read is that most people only hate oppression if it happens to them, and this was especially the case in a pre-journalism age where the oppression of others was basically invisible

Achilles is canonically a demon twink, of course he would be a role model for Alexander

Fun fact: the magical child safety solution which Jess Philips cited in her resignation letter is a vendor-specific offering, which benefited from an intense PR and lobbying campaign, and was previously praised by ... Prince Andrew. I always keep the receipts. heatherburns.tech/2026/02/20/t...
