Where’s the condemnation of the far right for this from Starmer and Mahmood ? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Very cool that our entire economy and environment has been hijacked by the needs of CEOs too rich and too toxic to ever grasp the concept of simply having friends.

I'm sorry, but Taylor Swift has the blandest muses. Him?

If you were thinking of watching the Ed Gein thing on Netflix then yes, he tucks it between his legs at one point. There. I've saved you about eight hours.

It's going great, then?

30 more women to tip this over 55k today? The calm, compassionate, inclusive feminists, who might not have seen the amazing support received for the trans community and the rejection of hate so far? Go on…

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

A baby platypus is called a puggle (or 'platypup' 😁) And anytime you post a video like this one, someone always points out they have venomous spurs. The adult males DO, but *only* the adult males! Let's talk about the amazing venom cocktail produced by this adorable little beaver-duck.

I'm gonna getcha

Amazon have removed the guns from their Bond posters, giving the tantalising impression that Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan think you’re a wanker.

Pardon me if I've come down with a case of Mar-a-Lago-face-blindness, but is that a newly yassified for TV Miriam Cates giving full on evils at the idea of a female archbishop? Noted 'Christian' and 'women's rights advocate' Miriam Cates?

Somehow still unwell. When I mentioned being kept awake by aches and pains my mother was like 'Perhaps you need more exercise.' I mean, yes? But now?Everything, as usual, is my fault.

I know you have to be a bit of a sociopath to be Home Secretary, but I'm really getting sick of this current parade of overachievers.

It’s 185 years to the day since a man called Thomas O’Conor wrote a report about a stone figure on a church in Kiltinane, County Tipperary. This wouldn’t be especially notable if we didn’t also consider what the statue looked like, because this was the first written use of the term Sheela-na-gig

"First day I met her, she said 'I'm a radical feminist lesbian.' I thought, what would the Queen mum do? So I just smiled and said 'We shall have fog by teatime.'"

What I'm getting from this is that witches really can't be having with the nightmare traffic bottleneck that is a busy Bodmin Moor.

I'll say it again. Our horror at the Gaza genocide and at the atrocity in Manchester comes in both cases from the same, inherent part of our shared humanity. We need to assert that shared humanity in the face of both these evils as loudly as possible, and in as many practical ways as we can.

It says so much about the horrible state of feminism in this country that my first thought about the new Archbishop of Canterbury is 'hope she's not a terf'.

It's now reached almost 2.8 million signatures. Please consider signing (if UK citizen) or sharing. This card could be catastrophic for all trans people in the UK if introduced. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

AI actress Tilly Norwood has tragically passed away while filming her first movie with director A Hologram of John Landis

Well, that escalated creepily.

This weird country, where because of legislation meant to protect children I have to use a VPN to see pictures of friends' cats on Imgur. Meanwhile every ad break is a million gambling ads thrust directly into my eyes.

Interview With The Vampire just got added to Netflix and it's one of the best shows on TV. If you are intrigued by supernatural drama, or by vampires having lots of gay sex, then I implore you to watch it. It's very, very good.

This, yes! That phrase you said was clunky? It's actually ~artisan~.

last night at bedtime I was telling my son (3.5) that I love him, im glad he’s my kid etc, and he grabbed my face in his little hands and said “and you are a very good driver”

Do not attempt to make funfetti cake with Waitrose edible confetti strands. They are delicate bougie organic things, and will not withstand the heat of the bake the way that rock-jawed American sugar shards will.

Okay, this is exciting.

Please help Mohammed get his daughter treated so she can recover from her injuries. 💓🙏

He wanted a reaction. He got one.

I watched the slop ad they put out about this, where they described 'her' as 'if a Sunday roast somehow developed BAFTA capabilities.' I think it was supposed to be a joke, but only would have been coming out of the mouth of Alan Partridge. Unfortunately I have a feeling it was supposed to be hype.

The Hampstead ponds have REPEATEDLY voted to include trans women. But the officious pricks at Sex Matters don’t care what other women think and are forcing a public consultation anyway. Throw the ponds some support.

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

Relevant again because someone's been doing the Four Yorkshiremen sketch in the papers again.

Reform say it is "disgusting and libellous" to suggest that Nigel Farage flirted with Hitler Youth when he was young. Here's how a former teacher at his school remembers it

I think it might have been high school coach Ryan in the FuBar books who described the mandatory abstinence classes he had to teach as being a lot like the warnings on a q-tip packet - a thing that everyone knows is not being taken seriously anywhere, but we have to pretend it is. For reasons.

It's my birthday tomorrow and I am allowed to be obsessed with cake.* *Even more obsessed with cake than usual.

Anyway hello

@oulysses.bsky.social oh hey, welcome back! Where did your old account go? So about those reassurances about what you're doing with the information submitted to your project? Definitely just making a directory of links, not scraping content for anything else, right?

Call me a prude if you want to, but I do think it's really weird to use your conference speech to list your favourite wanking euphemisms

Don't know why, but I keep running into cake recipes with buttermilk lately, and the whole science-fair-volcano of it all makes sense when you're looking for a nice airy rise. Not about to retire my faithful Victoria Sandwich recipe any time soon, but I do like it.

I am very very bored of being ill. Currently running on Benylin, paracetamol, and countless cough lozenges.

Watching Gen V in 2025 is extremely bizarre. Switching back to alleged reality to watch a shrill, insecure souse screaming right wing gibberish at the military top brass, and Trump posting AI videos of Chuck Schumer saying 'I'm a woke piece of shit.' Reality is officially too stupid for satire.

New! Cassetteboy vs Keir Starmer. This took absolutely ages, so if you'd like to buy us a coffee at ko-fi.com/cassetteboy we'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
