I just saw that oil prices have gone down because the idiot claims Iran had made contact and wanted “very badly” to strike a deal. My question to the stock market is HOW ARE YOU BELIEVING ANYTHING THIS DEMENTED FUCKWAFFLE SAYS???? Thank you for your etc etc etc...

I have spent most of today being absolutely fucking hopeless at the most basic of tasks.

It's obvious now you point it out. How could we have misinterpreted it so badly? /s

Ugh. Another day of waking up to discover that fucker is still alive.

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

23 people could stop this genocidal war criminal. That’s it. 23. 20 Republican senators and 3 republican reps in the house and he’d be out of politics forever. But they won’t. They’re addicted to power. A drug so strong they’d rather see a civilization die than give it up.

I've been 'on hold' for an actual agent in a chat wotsit for nearly 30 mins now (their estimated wait time: 1-3 minutes). I've now started sending Blondie's Waiting on the Telephone lyrics every 2 mins.

So presidential.

I do not take booktok seriously and I never will. What the fuck you mean the epilogue and prologue “aren’t part of the book/story”???????

I just tripped over my own foot while taking a quick stroll through the local park and styled it out with all the grace of a cat being dropped into a pond. People laughed...

Disingenuous prick. He has embedded transphobia as policy. He has denied young trans people access to medication and support. His government has brought back a version of Section 28 against trans young people. He is actively denying trans and non-binary individuals safety and respect.

Double-tap strikes are acts of terrorism. Democrats should investigate whether or not the allegation is true. If it's not, that's great. But if it is, they should find out who ordered it and who executed it so they may be prosecuted during the next administration.

These are all great and I haven't been able to stop laughing at the genie/millipede one for about half an hour.

I want this to be true

Oh god, someone just mentioned honey butter toast and now I'm going to have to source Japanese milk bread* and make some. *I suspect Bicester may not be the best place for this so it might have to be brioche

Now, forgive me if I'm being a little slow - I'm old. And menopausal. But would the fecking Strait even be closed if you hadn't attacked Iran you absolute fuckwit?

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

This fucker

I get logged out and I log in again

What - and I say this with the utmost respect /s - the actual fucking fuck? Pratchett? George sodding Orwell?

My new mattress just arrived. I put freshly laundered bedding on and am now fighting to stop myself just going straight to bed.

There's a guy on Tiktok who's narrating Pride and Prejudice as seen by three unnamed background characters. It's absolutely wonderful. Go and look for graeduck's feed. You won't regret it. He's up to the proposal after the visit to Rosings...

Important information

GNU Rob Grant. 💔

Someone's been hiding in my house, painting pictures of me and my cat...

OMG I've just realised there's a new @stuartmacbride.bsky.social book featuring my very favourite feral Scottish detective. Oh how I've missed you Roberta. And The Corpse Wore Tartan - available right now this minute. Go. Buy.

So - when is the Andrew Formerly Known As Prince going to disappear only to pop up somewhere with no extradition treaty d'ya reckon?

Blimey.

This notice couldn't be more accurate.

I think I'm a little bit in love with @governor.ca.gov tbh

This is, and I will be blunt here, enormously more important a political story than what some twerp of a Labour backbench MP may be whispering.

This made me smile - which is not easy these days.

Tag yourself - personally i'm finding it hard to choose between kangaroo and duck. Also fuck AI.

Please be Dignitas, please be Dignitas…

So Disney deleted their post on Threads asking users to post Disney quotes that show how their feeling - I suspect this is because it didn't quite go as they expected but the internet is forever so, for your delectation and delight...

Half? In Massachusetts? In their dreams... www.reuters.com/graphics/USA...

This thread:

That utter fuckwit's just said: “If we don’t do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland. And we’re not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor.” Does he not know about Alaska?

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

I love the phone in my hotel room...

I think I've found my place for breakfast tomorrow...

Mildly infuriating? Although, tbh, the more I look at this, the more I enjoy it. Anyway tag yourselves. I'm O is penguin.

Had to spend an hour sitting next to a retired Aus cattle farmer who thought the British Empire had been great and all the countries controlled by GB were developed and happy (but those colonised by the Spanish on the other hand were all shit holes). Big fan of Nig and Donnie as well obvs.

Honestly? This week on the beach has been lovely but I'm now in urgent need of something to do other than read, nap on the beach and swim in the sea. Thank gawd I'm going back to Bangkok on Sunday then on to Sukhothai. In the meantime, have a sunset... PS my apologies to everyone I know at home.
