i need to hack off my hair, maybe tonite is the nite, ive just had so little energy to spare

im just plumb tired

It will be incredibly funny if Labour's entire strategy, that you have to vote for them because they're the only viable laternative to reform, falls apart because they're behind the Greens.

Today's example of Mesopotamian pith (i.e. small words that stand for complicated ideas): the Hurrian (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurrians) word "abi," which Emmanuel Laroche's handy GLOSSAIRE DE LA LANGUE HOURRITE informs us means "a hole dug in the ground to communicate with the infernal powers."

the beatings will continue until seaworthiness improves

what an important issue thank goodness the entirely hypothetical world's most inattentive diner has been saved from accidentally not eating meat one time

MOTABILITY CARS ARE NOT FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you need to apply for one, they take a portion of your benefits in return, and most people with one have physical disabilities not just anxiety

This is bigotry that is baked into the AI system, quite frankly. These "errors" occur because AI tools are not made with inclusion or diversity in mind. The tools do not recognise marginalised people. Because they're never even thought about, let alone in the room making decisions.

i rly dont know how, in the world that we live in, ppl just go ahead and post about their weight loss with no cw or anything. like what tf are they thinking

this is such nakedly textbook eugenicist framing I'm actually somehow shocked in spite of the bar being underneath hell already

just absentmindedly thought 'lady gaga is an avatar or guan yin' and i think i meant green tara but yknow why not

Fascism

"I think Greta is right but I don't like how single-minded and rigid she is" Just say you hate autistic people and go.

jerott blyth calling danny hislop 'you upstart church-get' 😂

TIL that Sumerian, that wonderful language, had the word "ah-du-ga," which is the spittle spewed by a wicked magician while uttering an evil spell.

Fucking hell

Watch the establishment work!

This seems a bit…reckless….

im getting close to finishing lymond and im half tempted to just go straight back to bk 1...but theres also the niccolo series which is even longer...hmmm

“The rule would not apply to EU nationals with settled status in the UK, as their right to receive benefits forms part of post-Brexit arrangements with the bloc” An explicitly racist policy then

Oh dear Japan. Have you seen the state of the UK. The highest energy prices in the world, astronomical rail fares, rivers literally full of shit, among the worst inequality among peer nations, stark regional inequality, still suffering from the financial crash of ‘08: The reason is: Thatcher.

gotta hand it to ellington for recording a version of squeeze me (but dont tease me) sung by a dude in a twinky voice

This is why the talk about decentralisation and so on with Bluesky is (so far) a joke. And that is, mostly, actually a good thing. What people actually *want* is a single centralised site that doesn't let Nazis on. If they wanted decentralisation they'd use Mastodon.

now ive made most of the moving plans the ideation is back

I know, with absolute certainty, that if it was a church, or a temple, or any other place of worship other than a mosque that had been set on fire *whilst people were inside it* then there is no way the literal Home Secretary would be tweeting out “could have been worse”.

Just a reminder this is how the most liberal mainstream newspaper in the UK framed people who wanted to burn as many refugees to death as possible. (It's all sympathetic to the fash). www.dumptheguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

After last week's Hotel-Shouting Team put up the 14 Words, this week one of us had a sign saying 'Nazi scum'. Their speakers this week included a man who was fired from the military for his neo-Nazi links and a fake priest who's been posting 88 in response to 14 online. 1/

have said it before but I think there will never be a social network that's big and "works" like early 2010s facebook or mid 2010s twitter. we're splintering forever and ever into smaller and smaller fragments from here on out, there is no "next site we all move to"

I have a 1.5 hour commute to eastern Lancashire for work. Flags everywhere there, almost exclusively English flags. None in the town in North Yorkshire where I live though, which is both a bit surprising & reassuring. I'm from Texas & wayyyy more flags are being flown here than I'd see back home.

lymond spoilers - i know some pretty silly stuff happens in dumas but this cardinal impersonation bit feels very baroness orczy

Just one more police power bro. Just one more police power and I swear that I’ll be it. Please bro one more police will fix everything I swear. Bro please just one more police power

I mean, they’re about thirty years too late.

Keir Starmer was smart to wait until The Brittas Empire had mostly disappeared from the public conciousness before becoming PM.

Called it. Tories are trying to out-Reform Reform so there’s only one way this is going

This just confirms what trans person in the UK already knows, and it only tracks the time between referral and first appointment. There is still more waiting for at least another 2nd appointment and then any treatment. Nevermind waiting for surgery after all of that...

from a FOI request this august: they’ve seen 10 new patients in 2025. 0.25 patients a week on average.

for example: would still be around when my initial GIC appointment came up

Gaby is scared of a Reform government. Migrants, Palestinians, trans and disabled people already have a Reform government but she doesn’t care so long as fascism has a red rosette on it

This is a de facto ban on trans healthcare

The term "glass cliff" describes a situation where an institution in crisis, such as say a religious organisation facing a huge child abuse scandal, will appoint a woman or ethnic minority leader. Subsequently that leader will take all the blame for that institution's failings.

what was the first song you remember loving as a child? sweet dreams by eurythmics, or thriller by michael jackson, or electric avenue maybe?

starting to think that dracula is just a book about autism. -this -pseudoscientist van helsing says the count has a 'child brain' which pseudoscientists also say about autistics -he can't eat certain foods, needs to sleep in specific places, has certain routines he needs to stick to

VULTURES RULE

You’ll note Keir hasn’t even bothered with a throwaway statement how disabled people should be treated with dignity

"Without guaranteeing fairness, linking access to ESA and UC health payments solely to the PIP daily living assessment risks leaving hundreds of thousands of disabled people without the support they rely on to live," added @andymcdonaldmp.bsky.social www.bigissue.com/news/social-...
