Age yourself with gaming

I think the BBC is important, regardless of the state of its current affairs programming. But the idea of a "shared national popular culture" makes me feel a bit icky. It feels barely distinct from saying "shared national identity" in subtler words.

The problem with buying a gaggle of mini bottles of red wine for bolognese making: "half in the bolognese, half in the glass" only works if you have enough self restraint to resist opening a second bottle. And a third, maybe?

lest we forget

Sure, Metacritic and RottenTomatoes have their merits, but they're no match for the best method of finding new series to watch: gifs of male nudity on Tumblr

Once a month, the Kindle store tries to make me read a book about closeted sports stars falling in love, and I've never been remotely tempted. But... casting hot young men to actually act one of them out might prove more persuasive youtu.be/ADi1iextoUM?...

AI is not fit for purpose if it can't tell the difference between being called a little f*g on Twitter (negative) and being called a little f*g on Grindr (positive)

I've said it before but the Venn diagram of people who: - do Locktober successfully beginning to end and - are locked pretty much constantly is a circle. Party last night theoretically should have been full of unlocked sub boys, and they were all still caged.

Got this to the party with minimal damage, managed to wear it for long enough that it was worth the effort. Spent the night with my boyfriend, managed to piss in the host. A good night all round.

If this had been Churchill's message during the war I feel I would be more patriotic

Made something of an effort for Halloween party tomorrow, but probably should have gone for something easier to transport the length of the country on a train

Just had an extremely expensive 30 mins. My new bed just got delivered and won't fit up my stairs, and then drove to my hair appointment and pretty sure my car headlights have stopped working.

Having an absolute bugger of a time getting all my thermostat components to talk to each other again since my electrician turned off the power. Guess I just spend the winter in massive jumpers?

The main problem with going to the cute local bookshop in town is that when you pick up a new book they remember you and ask what you thought of the last one. My brain doesn't really go into "reading mode" unless the stars align. I'm just adding to my pile...

Trying a rewatch of Stargate Universe again. They tried so hard to make everyone complicated, and everyone is just so fucking unlikeable. The "comic relief" audience insert character is so whiny about being friend zoned by the "hot girl" on the ship that he just comes across as a massive incel.

Is there anything worse than starting a thread that gets some attention with a typo?

I bet I'd be able to sell this as a perfect solution to Locktober boys. No painful cage, regardless of how horny you get, plus a month of being able to just piss anywhere. Where is the downside?

Of the top of my head - thinking with portals, a thread...

Furry artists are such perverts - bless them! It's similar to the "straight Japanese porn" phenomenon. Sometimes you have to ignore the participants and just respect the creative niche content.

I'm a big supporter of women's sport but... That's not why I put the gymnastics on. We want men in lycra!

Big appreciation for the workmen who bring apprentice twinks. They could charge extra for this service.

Hold your friends down by the throat while you whisper filth into their ear

Chatting with my boyfriend about all the things I'm going to do today, while I sit on my sofa in my dressing gown and the hours tick away.

My biggest takeaway from season 20 of Taskmaster is that Maisie Adam isn't a lesbian

Plumber just told me not to use my toilet for 24 hours. Guess I'm ringing round local boys and asking if one of them wants a job.

Downside of renovations in my house - I've had my playroom full of junk for over two months. Starting to get very pent up. Once my bedroom is done I'm going to have aggression to work out.

People are used to 11‐digit mobile phone numbers. In ye olden days (the 90s) with landlines you only had to memorise 6 digits. And in my local area all the numbers started with 26 or 27. This wasn't the feat of memory that modern kids think it must have been.

When you search a Marvel shirt they've all got a big nerd aesthetic. To work right, this shirt would need to be loudly queer. Cropped and/or mesh and/or rainbow.

Drop something devilish

Very annoying when someone posts photos that make me want to spend money.

My new book arrived at the local bookshop today! God knows when I'll actually get opportunity to read it, but exciting nonetheless.

Reposting into my main feed. I should do one of these for my baby: he needs some goals. A lot of them are relevant, but I think sounding and double fisting would make this board impossible to complete with him! At least within a year or two. And I should probably replace the ones we've already done.

There is no way that there wasn't a load of stuff cut from the edit of Bake Off last night about Iain's "goatse-themed" pie.

If You Wanna Be My Lover, You Gotta Get With My Friends: a comic that’s definitely not just a riff on Scott Pilgrim (thread version)

I made the rule for this much less strict because some mornings I want to be cute and say hi without hurting him. But he still seems to have racked up a tally of 91 spanks, with most of the month left before he has to pay out.

I'm sure the BDSM representation in this will be awful but I'm still looking forward to it. Very fond of the assless lycra.

Feels silly to make a big deal out of Locktober, given that @yossikink.bsky.social wears the cage all year. But any excuse for photos of my boy.

Not saying I'm tired, but I've had a bit of an eye infection and I just tried to compare my eyelids in my front facing camera by closing both eyes at the same time.

Not my idea - I can't remember which institution implemented this, but it's worth sharing: It is possible to comply with the government's shit new bathroom laws by making your *main toilets* inclusive and making your "third space" the one TERFs can use. If you have sway in planning meetings...

Added bonus of the UK government forcing me onto VPNs: instead of boring British adverts between my podcasts, I get free Spanish revision.

Tbf whilst I'm a bit overweight and I've got eye bags that make me look like I've been punched in the face, I do think my hair is extremely cute at the moment.

Got IDed this afternoon which is more hilarious than flattering. But I'm still feeling good about myself. Stupidly the thing I was attempting to buy was a piece of plastic from B&Q that had been categorised as a "filling knife". It didn't even have a sharp edge.

NB. I'm not talking about hookup sites. If they're kink-focused, listing your limits is great. But, particularly on art/fiction sites, creators who list what they WON'T write/draw in their profiles are the bane of my existence.

Kink social media pet peeve: people who put what they're NOT into in their profile. We get it, you think some things are icky, but you're really fucking up search results.

One thing that I'm finding more amusing than I used to in my Stargate SG1 rewatch is that they occasionally have to interrupt the core message of the show: "Religion is a scam designed to consolidate power in the hands of a corrupt elite" to clarify: "except for Jesus"

Skim reading this, my brain put the "group" in the wrong place and made it more exciting

I'm lazy, so when people help me with my morning wank like this, it's much appreciated.

horrified they weren’t quick enough to keep her from spreading this kind of vile hate speech on TV. for those who don’t know, “go birds” is a coded expression of support for the Philadelphia Eagles

Sometimes I'm pretty sure he's teasing on purpose
