Just booked onto another week of this in October. Yay!

So who did get Raptured in the end? Has there been a headcount?

Looks like we got ourselves a little bit of a problem here

Probably not the greatest surprise here

The now very difficult to bridge disconnect between what reality actually is and money/power getting what they want it to be, is currently speaking to the UN General Assembly and it's going as well as you'd expect

Just sending this to Boy (13)'s school so they can be assured that any parent there who reports this to them is an absolute whingeing loser who can't do pickups themselves because they'll get bullied by cooler, cleverer, better parents

When we were burgled (ten years ago) the policeman who came to give us our crime number said that usually all he ever saw stolen was car keys, because they're now so secure you can't steal them without the keys. Everything else was worthless, because who buys a nicked telly in a pub now?

Was reminded of this today. This song alone is a staggering achievement, let alone the rest of what they managed together. And if you find it funny or horrifying that Alex James makes posh cheese and is friends with Jeremy Clarkson? Fuck off, you boring, thin, jealous little dundridge, just fuck off

Say ‘It doesn’t cause it,’ not ‘There’s no evidence,’ because these people can drive a coach and horses through even the narrowest seam in a sentence, because they just don’t care about being able to back it up, they’re loud and clickable and that’s all they care about

I don’t want to get raptured tomorrow, I get paid on Thursday and it’s been a five week month

I get that we want to see the moral stand that we feel taken against Farage's shithouse kiteflying for cunts, but the only question Labour ever, ever get asked about even the mildest policy is 'AND HOW MUCH WILL THAT COMMIE IDIOCY COST? EH? EH?' and that'll inform your responses to other things too

this exists it is called thinking

Willing to put my roast potatoes up against anything you can buy in the fanciest branches of Toby Carvery

Seen a couple of posts this weekend reminding us all that nothing is good enough and we shouldn’t enjoy anything. It’s good to be kept on the straight and narrow, I nearly enjoyed something earlier and who knows where this might have led. Thanks!

Making roast potatoes in a Saturday. Feels decadent

So this is what ‘frantically trying to put the lid back on the bottle’ sounds like

In the nice coffee shop for a rare daytime visit. It’s full of students, two just walked past: ‘Have you been here before?’ ‘No, but I saw it on TikTok’ and now I feel so old I need digging up and reburying somewhere less chichi

Labour now hating: Immigrants ✅ The EU ✅ Students ✅ Trans people ✅ Next up, cyclists, building houses and solar panels for the full Reform-aping kamikaze bingo. It’s all going so well! www.lbc.co.uk/article/brit...

Last session of a week’s online training, and the trainer has just said he’s muting to go to the loo. Fair enough, but then he was gone for no more than 45 seconds. I can only assume he has a toilet next to his computer at that speed

Starte me at the top and just leave me to work my way down to the bottom

Remember when Turkey was about to be immediately ushered into the EU so we could be forced to take 76,000,000 immigrants that time?

Oh, look what I found @badger5000.bsky.social

I'm not sure about this branding but I'm not the billionaire business genius

You don't want a new civil war. "Oh, another coward who wants us to work through the system! You just want the status quo!" If you prefer civil war to the status quo that tells me you have no concept whatsoever of what a war would look like or *what the new post-war status quo would be*

@sentimentbot.bsky.social SHOW ME MY SOUL

Michael Hobbs continuing his brave stand insisting that evidence should mean anything to these people

I know why it’s angering, but people calling Starmer a poodle for being polite to Trump, why don’t you go and tell your boss exactly what you think of them? To their face, in front of everyone. It’s his job to schmooze unpleasant foreign leaders, short of them starting a war he has to be nice

‘No, he’s not dead, he’s just pining for the fjords’

Now isn’t that just the most perfect looking croque-Madame you ever saw?

Just put on a delicates wash, classic working-from-home move

John Oliver must be looking over his shoulder right now, considering how Trump’s stormtroopers are pretty unchoosy about detaining naturalised US citizens as well nowadays

It’s the weirdness of these people that will be their undoing, I’m sure of it. We just need our principal media outlets to get bored of Farage’s one note bluffer schrick and get into the crazy human interest behind him

Who’d have thought that the real firewall agains the far right wasn’t the left after all, but a functioning centre-right. Oh well, we live, we don’t learn and everything always gets worse

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, should Russia sweep across Europe in a war of violent conquest, I will sleep easily knowing that Kent, the county of my birth, will be obliterated first. It deserves everything it’s got coming to it

Five pleasures in life Good bread and butter A purring cat New socks in old shoes Red hot, non-stop fucking Being near the water

Love a week’s online training where the tutor spends almost all his time drawing whiteboard slides I can’t read and aren’t in the course materials, then failing the review tests because of it

Can’t wait for them to then do nothing about it because it’s too hard and might seem rude, plus the papers won’t like it, and we should be paying more attention to their planning reform and local government reorganisation anyway, isn’t that enough for you fucking people?

I appreciate there might not be room in the quote, but if the journalist’s next question wasn’t ’So why are you saying racist things?’ then that’s a total failure of the writer to do their job. This has to be the response every single time. Every. Single. Time

Why should I wear the same glasses as that Facebook dork? His website’s shit. And his haircut. Why would I want to look like him?

Garfunkel

Test everyone for cocaine who gets arrested at these marches/rallies/hotel protests, and the who gets arrested at Palestine Action events, and see which bar on the chart is the highest. It won’t be the left-wing pensioners, just to spoil the ending

The original post is blocked to me, so I can’t tell if these things are supposed to be good or bad

This would have been a decent enough, if cautious then at least well meaning response two weeks ago. Now it’s laughably, even insultingly inadequate. Starmer was the right tool to beat Johnson. He is absolutely not the right person to be leading the country now. Run, maybe. Lead, no

Cardiff has been great today, because all the racists have been in London

The Groypers are a chain of rocks that lie just below the surface of the Solent, and are estimated to have sunk over 10,000 vessels since they were first mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in 981AD

The only obituary of Charlie Kirk worth reading: ‘He was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct. He had children, as do many vile people.’

Obviously what the Oxford Union guy said was terrible and he should resign, but the bigger problem is that Britain's elite is drawn from such a narrow pool that what happens in a stupid student debating society, where posh kids cosplay Parliament, plays such a wildly outsized role in in public life.
