In other news the word Hypocrisy exploded today www.barrons.com/news/russia-...

It's that time again where I have to tell myself I need to stop freaking out about America, I'm not American and I don't live there, cant do anything to fix it. Just a lot of the social media anxiety and stress is generated from the shit show happening there and I get swept up in it.

How long until someone tries to claim that the Biden cancer diagnosis is just a smokescreen to distract from the mental decline accusations.

All day today Me: finished that task time to close that window. Also Me: Next Task requires me to open the window again, sigh

27 years into the relationship and Diane (My Wife) has started making me do park runs. 5K this morning. She's either trying to get me fitter so I'll be around longer or knowing my recent experiences performing outdoor exertions maybe trying shorten it.

I accidently scared an elderly colleague Her "You scared me like the scary doll in that film." Me "Which film was it, Poltergeist?" Her "No not that one, the one Steven Spielberg did" Me "Poltergeist" Her "No not that one" Me "Was the doll a scary clown" Her "Yes" Me "Poltergeist"

When I go back and try and play old games like 20 - 30 years old games I always feel that my younger imagination must of been filling in a lot of gaps in graphics and gameplay.

[Jarring Sound] No one expects the Trump Administration. Our main failure is our tariff war with the world, and disappearing our citizens

Anytime someone says or writes "Not to put too fine a point on it" the following song plays in my head www.youtube.com/watch?v=vn_o...

Back at work after a week recuperating from fracturing one of my ribs. Also my hospital painkillers have mostly run out and my side is throbbing a little uncomfortably. That will teach me to try and exercise

Managed to fracture a rib and partially collapse a lung playing touch rugby. Nobody tackled me or anything, I just slipped and somehow landed on my chest.

This song is relevant again and really great www.youtube.com/watch?v=YonS...

Last night my kids were away, one was at cubs, and the other a week long school trip. We went out for dinner just the two of us, It was great just being there the two of us without screaming kids. I'm sure we'll miss them when they eventually leave but it was a reminder of the before times.

My cold is so bad that every time I sneeze it's like Slimer just got me

With the arrest and disappearance of Mahmoud Khalil for expressing pro Palestinian views. Any Free Speech Absolutes who aren't screaming like hell about it are just admitting they don't really care about free speech. They just want to be able to say the N word without getting into trouble.

Nothing is more likely to fuck me up at work than having to register a MAC address which consists mainly of B's 8's and 0's

A cargo ship has crashed into a oil tanker holding jet fuel in the North Sea. Looks like someone needs to read the book en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_...

Nothing worse than having to tell your mum that she's posting stupid hoax's on her Facebook page. All I did was copy and paste the content into google and it tells you it's rubbish. www.snopes.com/fact-check/f...

Our oatcakes have an ad on its packaging for their Marmite and Cheese flavour Oatcakes.

A moment of silence for my gaming PC which has unexpectantly died.

Every now and again I get addicted to something usually an online game. I will play it obsessively then one day without warning a switch in my brain will flip and all desire to play it just vanishes. Today that happened with Marvel Snap which I had been devoting a ton of spare time this last year.

I see we're back to waking up like this every morning. That happened a lot quicker than I was expecting

Red flags missed in neo-Nazi stalker investigation, I wonder if they had a little swastika in them as well. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I'm sure Tommy Robinson and all the right wing reactionaries will be right on this, organising protests against the establishment that allowed this to happen. Or not since they are white and not Muslim. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

There was a guy posting pretending he wasn't MAGA but kept posting contrarian views and gaslighting about Elon's salute. He was wondering out loud why he couldn't reply to anyone and I think it was because everyone was blocking him as soon as they looked into his replies as his profile is benign

This is a good song www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fXq...

I'd managed to block / Hide all the suggested pages and all the adverts on Facebook. Has been about 6 months since I saw something on my page that wasn't a friends post. But they must of taken on a lot of new advertising customers because its all back. Back to blocking / hiding again

Happy New Year

Merry Christmas

You can bet that Boris Johnston is sitting there watching Trump thinking "If that moron can get elected back in after screwing everything up and being a corrupt dick then surely I've got every chance at a comeback"

Today I learned that if you cut a hole in a net, then the net will have fewer holes

I thought I would search for the BBC news on here. Turns out I have adult content allowed turned on and needless to say it was not the BBC I was looking for

Saw Alabama 3 last night. A band getting on in years but still playing a mean tune. They asked the question could country music be mixed with acid house. RIP Rev D Wayne Hypo Full of Love (12 Step Plan) Is an excellent song live www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuP4...

A thing I'm doing is blocking all the Right Wing trolls I see but also the Left wing accounts that are just trying to freak me out for engagement and clicks. I know Trump is bad and his cabinet picks are bad but I don't need the feeling of impending doom a lot of people are peddling

about 10 - 12 years ago on Facebook my mum contacted me and asked if I could friend her. She said she just wanted to be able to see what I was up to and wouldn't interfere. That was a lie.

I don't think the saying Evil wins when good men do nothing is applicable in social media. The temptation to correct bigotry or misinformation. It just creates engagement which helps spread it to more people. Ignoring / blocking and moving on are the best ways to deal.
