Social Media is a drug. A phsycological drug rather than a chemical drug, but a drug nonetheless. It works on your dopeamine and seratonin stores. Meta (and the others) realise this and by enshittificaiton, they will now start to charge after giving away the free samples to hook you in.

You can't solve all your problems by setting fire to them. That only works for about 31% of problems

I was reminded of this G.O.A.T. skit from Dave Allen this morning and thought it needed sharing again... www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QVP...

DOJ's Epstein excuses on Xitter and the responding community notes are turning into Matryoshka dolls.

This is called ‘A Short Poem Concerning the Proximity of Chris Rea to Home as He Drives Back for Christmas’.

They moved Maxwell, who is now seeking a commutation, and they gave her a fucking puppy. And no one has asked Trump to explain why. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Donald █████ is a ████. I'm sure of it. He ██████ young girls on ████ Island, along with his mate ███████. Then he spent ██ years lying to ████████ voters, as if it never happened. I hope he snags his █████ on a rusty nail and it falls off, cos he's a ███████ cunt.

I want to be the guy who tests drugs to see if you can operate heavy machinery after taking it

**Me trying to keep a stiff upper lip** Coroner: Put that down!

Target Achieved. I have lost 24.7 kg of weight since the end of February, to get me down to my target of 100 kg. More to lose next year, but I'm basking in glory for this achievement for now.

I have no sympathy for people who leave their car doors unlocked and then complain when they find me sleeping in the backseat.

Kissing is weird. At some point, multiple cultures independently came to the conclusion that wanting to lick the inside of somebody's mouth shouldn't be exclusive to dogs.

Take fly boss walk jam nitty-gritty

The increasing convergence of mainstream media organisations, clickbait and the far-right has been one of the worst parts of 2025. They know full well it wasn't just some "anti immigration tweets". He called for people to join him on the streets, burn down migrant hotels and "start the slaughter".

A weird feeling this morning. I'm leaving my current company officially on Christmas Eve, but they've sent a courier to collect my IT stuff this morning... So I guess I'll be tidying my sock drawer for the next few days.

Holy fucking shit 😂😂😂

I can't imagine that being bombarded with things telling you that people are lonely at Christmas makes lonely people feel any better! "Here, let me keep prodding that bruise. Does it help?"

My wife sent me to get a pint of milk. She said, "If they have eggs, get half a dozen." When I returned home, she asked why I had 6 pints of milk. I said, "They had eggs."

An excellent read! Thanks @chadbourn.bsky.social & Sam Dumitriu!

*buying tampons (on speaker phone) What size is your vagina again?

And guess what? The FCC immediately changed the website to state that the agency is not independent right after Carr's comments!

As congressional hearings go on in public today and can be watched live online by everyone, Jack Smith is testifying behind closed doors despite his written request to appear in public because Republicans don’t want the American people (again) to hear him destroy their lies.

GEE, SUSIE WILES SURE HAS A LOT OF TIES TO RUSSIAN OLIGARCHS. IS THAT WHY HER WHITE HOUSE JOB IS SO SECURE? JUST ASKING QUESTIONS — BIG STRONG BEAUTIFUL QUESTIONS, WITH TEARS IN THEIR EYES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO MY LATEST POST, IN WHICH I LAY IT ALL OUT. LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/3Y0oRHy

Thinking of my late father today, who was Chairman of the EU's Socrates programme, a self defined euromaniac, esteemed political scientist and former Vice Chancellor, who would be extremely proud and delighted about today's news on Erasmus+ This one's for you, Dad x

“Boing”, said Zebedee And I thought Brian said it was safe to eat shellfish!?

The president of the parrot appreciation society has died - RIP Hugh Zapretty Boyden 😞

I don’t know how it happened, but I’ve lost my spoon rest. It’s not like I ever leave the house with it. Or do I?

On the original recording of Nirvana Unplugged, you can hear a guy in the front row say "One day we are all going to have computer phones"

Venezuela it is, then...

I want every single solitary Republican in every elected office in every corner of this country to be asked about Donald Trump’s post about Rob Reiner. They like to cloak themselves in religion… Then read it to them. Don’t let them say they “didn’t see it.” Let them “defend” it.

If this rain doesn't stop soon, I'm not going to be able to get out and water my garden!
