If a person is working full-time and has to be on Universal Credit, then the "benefits scrounger" is their employer.

Anyone would think that being 'cancelled' really equates to a few years on holiday sitting on piles of cash in mansions, then being able to go to back to work as an act of revenge against Non Specific Wokeness. I've seen careers ended for someone giving a fragile ego 'the wrong look', so stfu.

"oh, don't forget to highlight, in bright red, the two-letter word in the tagline! the two letter word that's kind of the whole point of this clever ad campaign! the two letter word that links this show to the horror movie of the same name!" "no problem boss. i'm on it"

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

Managed to be one of the lucky few who experienced a walkthrough of the Margate Dreamland Cinema (and film set), on the only day the public have been able to visit since it closed in 2007.

This isn't a military strike. This is premeditated murder and Pete Hegseth is going to spend the rest of his fucking life rotting away in the deepest hole in Leavenworth once America is liberated from this illegitimate, illegal regime.

I need more covfefe

I was an idiot as a kid, but you know, I was never so much of an idiot I was racist at all, let alone in a kind and unhurtful way.

20 years ago today, I walked through this door as a homeowner for the first time. So much has happened since then : falling out of, and in, love. Births, weddings, divorce, funerals. Days when the sun never stopped shining. Days when it felt the sun would never rise.

Be wary of people who don't have any friendships lasting more than about 6 years.

Never kneel to the aggressor.

Are there ways of being racist that aren't hurtful or insulting? Asking on behalf of reality.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

NEWS: I spent the past 24 hours going through major MAGA accounts on Twitter, and a bombshell development has become clear: most of the right-wing ecosphere is being fed propaganda from foreign actors. This impacts elections. This impacts discourse. This is major. Subscribe to support my work:

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.
