I've been wondering what the best/most cursed possible origin for that particular phrase would be and it just hit me tonight: "The flagship educational policy of the first George W. Bush administration, the "No Child Sinister Buttocks Act"...

I think of a filthy pun and then get a compulsion to turn it into a Baldur's Gear meme. IDK what's wrong with me.

Was not expecting to see this @bclev.bsky.social reference in World of Warcraft in 2025

Was anyone else disappointed to learn that fly tipping was just like big littering and not something entomologists did after a night on the lash, or was that just me?

YOUR OWN VIRTUAL JESUS

This abuse happened between the mid 1990s and early 2000s. In 1997 the South Yorkshire police had a case thrown out of court, after it transpired that they had made the Black male suspect stand in an identity parade alongside *eight white men in blackface*.

God, the number of people who were willing to believe that the South Yorkshire police were too woke to prosecute sexual abuse cases, when in fact the police force was itself an instrument of patriarchal sexual violence. It’s like a case study in the worst excesses of the British press.

I think that not only should they rename Birmingham Airport in honour of Ozzy Osbourne, they should do it exactly in the style of Liverpool John Lennon Airport, as I've handily mocked up below. Perfect image to arrive to, as I'm sure you'd agree.

I’m petrified about today’s science news. Genetically modifying crabs to have cheetah genes? This could go sideways fast.

I know we're facing important problems like the global rise of fascism and all that stuff but I think it's important that we don't lose focus on the small things, too, like making sure that clancy brown and ron perlman get their own tv show where they play brothers who are bounty hunters in space

If I were trying to make Bluesky sound bad and uncool I would simply not describe it like Games Workshop's Necromunda

We're getting pizza and I'm obsessed with this slightly broken mural that used to be about eating with your hands but now it reads like Saruman's manifesto

This edit was sitting in my brain for years.

Do you ever think about the fact that the designers of General Midi were tasked with coming up with the 128 most important instruments in the world, and one of the answers they came up with was "Goblins"

This just popped up on my FB as a memory from 4 years ago and I am in stitches as to how the meaning of this has changed in that time.

"Luxury Student Homes" keeps buying every available property in my area and paints it the same uniform battleship grey and black, making the neighborhood look like only half of it has been unlocked on the Character Select screen.

My ADHD partner: "I really need to get more organised." My ADHD self: "I think that "being organised" is a myth. Like it was invented by Filofax to sell more planners."

If there's not an Irish goth-metal tribute band out there named "Type O'Negative", someone's missed a trick.

Did @owlcatgames.bsky.social just drop an IT Crowd reference on me in Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader?

My landlord is evicting me because my HOUSEMATE has had a dispute with them but our tenancies are worded in such a way that I'm still liable. Since I'm disabled and can't afford moving, I'm flogging some old stuff, starting with these Battlefleet Gothic miniatures: www.ebay.co.uk/usr/razerwolf

The one time in my life I stood on Canadian soil was in 1998 at Vimy Ridge. Canadian men shed so much blood on that land while defending it that France granted it to them in perpetuity in 1922. Europe remembers.

For anyone complaining that Star Wars is too political nowadays, here. I took out the political bits.

I went to the Science Museum yesterday and as well as having a ball with my nearly four year old in their amazing child spaces (god love free London museums) I was utterly charmed by this caption.

David Lynch is dead and Neil Gaiman is dead to me. It's a bad week for those of who grew up alt in the 90s. God forbid I see any headlines about Trent Reznor.

Been considering recording some vocal covers for a while (...years, okay) and finally got around to it. Figured I'd start with something nice and simple...

The Neil Gaiman Vulture article is a grim read and I have thoughts I'll put down later. For now, just noting how he casually dropped the below and then 3 months later it turned out that he'd told Katherine Kendall autism was to blame for him "not properly picking up her body language and cues".

Miscellaneous Trades in Southport, late 1860s, via Secret Sand Land on FB. It took me a depressingly long time to realise the despite the commas, the numbers were part of the street address, and thus my hometown did not in fact formerly feature a schoolboy bat-shit merchant.

Gender? I barely know ‘er! (A Chronicle of Exploration) About 5 or 6 years ago, while having a conversation with a friend about another mutual friend who had come out relatively recently as trans, I admitted that I didn’t understand the urge to transition, at least other than academically. I…

In the absence of a Spotify to wrap, here's my top 10 bands/albums I've been listening to in 2024. Already knew but fell DEEPLY in love with Wilderun this year, though Opeth's renaissance came in hot on their heels.
