Done some zoomies* this morning in my new altras. Delightful. No heel strikes, no pain. Was a slight twinge in the groin injury after I'd finished for the first time in ages, but not super concerned because I was told last march that it could take years to heal properly. *Slowest C25K ever.

Absolutely losing my mind over Ava, THE ROCK'S DAUGHTER, quitting WWE despite them offering her a raise to keep working a pretty cushy kayfabe general manager gig and then the day after her contract ends she posts this

Panna cotta. Jellied dairy is for perverts I'm sorry. Minging stuff.

They're gonna shave my boy 😭

I don't think your memes about the billionaires paedophile island are funny, actually! In fact I'd go so far as to say they're absolute shite for cunts.

There's Another Kitt joining my team soon (different role, same name) and it's taking everything in me not to make Highlander jokes about it.

That we continue to persist at all is a testament to our faith in one another.

These people need to make up their minds - are principled leftists a huge voting block who can swing an entire election, in which case surely we should be catering to them - or are they sub-human scum who are of no import and can be ignored? Pick.

After literal weeks of wondering why the code doesn't work, the code suddenly works. Nothing has changed, and I am afraid.

Amazing news that Suella Braverman has defected to Reform UK a mere 194 days since her husband, Rael Braverman, left Reform UK for comments they made criticising his wife.

Drivers who think the safe stopping distance I've left between me and the car in front is their gap to join our lane: FUCK OFF.

"I've got to go for a walk to get my steps in" - boring, uninspired, frames going for a walk as a chore. "I wonder how many dogs I'll see if I go for a walk right now" - fun, motivational, frames going for a walk as secondary to dog spotting.

This is the only censorship of wrestling I will accept. Book it.

AEW censoring the swears now is not the one like I'm here to watch people pretend to beat the life out of each other I'm pretty sure I can cope with somebody saying fuck.

Partners of soup guys take note: if you're cooking something you can make us really really happy by keeping veg scraps (and bones I guess if your soup guy is into that kind of thing)

Same.

For the 100th time today I am thinking about how fucking stupid it is to make January the month for people to try being vegan IN THE UK because there's fuck all in season so very little tastes its best, it's dark and miserable, etc.

I wrote about my experiences being sexually exploited as a child, and what we need to do to make sure AI doesn’t make that a reality for millions of children. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Guy who is seriously thinking about sobriety with a bottle of good whiskey that's already paid for due to arrive any day.

At a bar which has a grunge covers band on. They're very, very good. But it feels antithetical to grunge.

Yesterday they found an unexploded WW2 bomb up the road and evacuations have been in place since then in order for it to be removed/detonated. But they also found a *much bigger* unexploded WW2 bomb in a *much more residential* part of Exmouth so the disposal equipment is dealing with that first.

I have once again bitten off more than i can chew at the business factory. My lead dev has given me permission to just *not do the work* and kick it up the chain because it's going to be a nightmare, but I am delighted because I'm an overachieving freak.

Mentally I'm doing remarkably well for somebody who is currently watching the same papers that called for the eradication of my community in the name of "protecting women and girls" now rush to defend a Nazi run deepfake child pornography site

Now playing Placebo - Exit Wounds

I have acquired cigarettes! This year let's stretch that limit further.

On a pub crawl without Mr Pet as there's *a lot* of walking and he can't do it. I only smoke when I drink. I managed to bring an empty pack rather than my cigarettes. I am the only smoker in the group, we have not passed a shop. I am five hours in and ready to do murders.

It's a year since [former business factory] announced voluntary redundancies and as scary as it was at the time I haven't ever looked back. I was so lucky to land on my feet, reskilling in an area I find so much more engaging and rewarding.

Bit behind but Megan Bayne's tan job at the weekend was, uh, a choice.

New vivos arrived just in time for the soggy soggy weather 😍 I love them

When a cop murdered my big brother at a road block 21 years ago, their post-facto justification was that he tried to run over a cop. His foot released the brake after the officer shot him in the chest, and the car bumped an officer.

Name a wrestler who, every time you see them perform, makes you feel grateful to that you get (or got if they're no longer active) to witness their career first-hand.

it is just so 🥴🥴🥴 to me that governments and law enforcement bodies across the world have to be begged and pleaded with to even consider investigating what is quite literally sexual crime on an unbelievable scale, taking place openly on one of the most popular digital platforms in the world.

the user interface of eggs is hostile to novice users. they should iterate on the design to remove the chance that a poorly cracked egg ends up spilling sticky goo everywhere and/or introducing sharp shards into the resulting food

I was going to make a joke pondering whether getting the AI game ghost to play the game for you was more stupid than buying games on steam than you'll never play, but I had a look around and you're all fighting over too few brain cells today and I was worried somebody might take me seriously.

Got up early to go gym before work and it is an ice rink out there so that's not happening

Fucking hell driving in wintery conditions is an experience. Most people are cautious humans but the ones that aren't are truly suicidal.

I hate when you order shoes and then have to wait for the shoes to arrive I would like my shoes please.

And he's RIGHT to say it

Basically lost my entire morning watching culinary class wars. Would recommend if you like cooking shows, would not recommend if once you sit down watching stuff your chances of doing anything else evaporate. Gym was way more busy at midday on a Sunday than I expected but we got the job done

I don't want to hustle I want to go for walks and eat potatoes.

Gonna go for a walk and look at the sea for a bit because this invaders stenography presented as news is driving me fucking insane

I’ve a lot of respect for the off license near my flat, who’ve tackled Dry January head on with a ragged cardboard sign which simply reads BOOZE JANUARY.

This year I'm committing to doing things badly, saying yes more to things that serve me and no more to things that don't, and learning to take bumps. Let's smash the arse off it.

Jools Holland's Hootin' Fanny

Happy new year to all but three of you. Choose amongst yourselves which three.

The rise of AI deepfake pornography should make people think twice before uploading any pictures of their children anywhere, or using AI at all. But it won't, because they think it'll never happen to them.

Maybe nothing has left a "cultural footprint" in 20+ years because we're flooded with bullshit, the idea that art can affect change became "cringe," and we started calling everything a "franchise" or an "IP."

Wearing a wrasslin shirt and bandana so people know I like wrasslin. But wearing it over a long sleeve so people know I like music. And the long sleeve is fishnets so they know I'm a queer.

Reminder to my fellow established gym nerds that in January you gotta nut up and shut up regarding the influx of new people. Shift to quieter hours if it bothers you, they deserve the space as much as the rest of us.
