I haven’t been this excited for a bubble to burst since I was a toddler.

Headline in the Independent: "Reeves’ ‘mansion tax’ would stall home sales and fuel exodus of super-rich, experts warn" I don't see how an exodus of the "super-rich" is a bad thing. Their mere existence is an indication of their parasitism on the economy, the sooner we are rid of them, the better.

Answer me this, internet: Why is there no such thing as a phrenology head decanter? Surely this needs to exist?

What a cruel fraud the right is funding, with the help of our malignant or clueless media, presenting trans women, who reality reveals to be so often the victims of violence, as its perpetrators.

Happy new year to everyone except the massive firework cunts. Get fucked.

Jools is back out of suspended animation for another hour or so...

I'm struggling very hard to find any sympathy for the obscenely rich people who have had £10.4M of hideous jewellery stolen, including a watch that looks like it has been pebble-dashed and a horrible bracelet that wouldn't be out of place in an Argos catalogue. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024...

A very happy solstice to us all!

In Old Scandinavia, a “Julenek”, a sheaf of grain kept over from the summer’s harvest, was left out for the birds at #Christmas. Farmers believed this tradition, known as the “Remembrance of Birds”, would ensure good luck, and a plentiful harvest the following year. #FolkloreThursday

Posted this at the old place, but thought folks on @bsky.app might like to know I finally met my "mother".

SIMPLY HAVING A

I bought a TV-B-Gone and enjoy going into Curry's occasionally on my lunch break, and watching the employees freak out as one by one all the TV's switch off as I'm innocently examining HDMI cables. I'm saving the planet, saving energy.

The ayes have it. The ayes have it. 👏👏👏

If I were doing a journalism I feel I’d be focussing less on Badenoch’s eccentric views on sandwiches and more on the fact that she regards people from the (mainly Muslim) north of Nigeria as her “ethnic enemies” who she resents being “lumped” together with www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“Do I believe in ghosts? I believe that some people see ghosts. That may seem like an evasive answer, but it is the exact truth. I have never myself seen a ghost, but I believe that one may have seen me.” —Reggie Oliver, “The Lure of the Ghost Story”. 👉🏼 helleborebooks.com

How I long for a Christmas like this. No protesting farmers No Storm Darragh No freezing pensioners. Just sick children being cured by a Yuletide inspired Cilla Black. Ah those were the days…🎄❤️

Well, according to the Grauniad, this storm isn't over yet.

Is what is going on in Syria an indication that Putin's influence and power projection is starting to falter? Assad has been propped up by Russia for years and now suddenly it looks like his fall is imminent.

This image from The Guardian needed this adjustment. Sorry, not sorry.
