Two LiveJournal people I sometimes remember: - Em, who was obsessed with Miss Piggy and trying to break off a relationship with a married man - the guy in Arizona who came out in his 40s and embraced bear-dom, but had agreed with his wife to remain married until the kid finished high school

This is quite funny if you are inclined to interpret 'liberals' as Lib Dems. Vince Cable on a zipline coming after Kemi Badenoch with a pugil stick

Gazza ended up in The Priory in the late 90s because of what they thought was paranoia-fueled anxiety - convinced he was being bugged & followed around - and it wasn't actually mental illness, it was that the red tops effectively had him under state-level surveillance. So I knew they were bad, but

So I'm currently Seeking Employment at the moment - do not recommend it as a hobby unless you want to gather the urge to lie down on the nearest beach and let the sea take you - and, actually, one has to admire this as a direct and eyecatching self-marketing technique

I've just been asleep is this real or is it like my newly gained ability to make trumpet noises when I wee

Would I like to surrender my active personal choices to algorithmic approximation of the most likely choices based on a vast dataset of average of past choices made by other people? WHY THE FUCK WOULD I WANT TO DO THAT?

As someone who's spent most of the week in bed with that razorblade throat thing that's going round: guinea pig the fuck out of me, Big Pharms

Andy Robertson should have gone to Milan rather than Celtic Park if he wanted to go and see some Scots do well, it seems.

Watching Bruce Mowat stonemaxxing in an attempt to curlmog the Swiss.

This is the sort of thing we were promised a return to as the result of Brexit

This is the opposing team in the Robot Wars episode of Spaced.

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

Have spent last few days reading about Brewdog, bc playing Two Point Hospital feels a bit on the nose when you're coughing yourself sick, and it seems they have a themed hotel in Manchester? Even given that you can for some reason drink beer from a shower fridge, is anyone into Brewdog *that* much?

Croaking "I'm sick and I'm dying" to the tune of Seven Nation Army

But you can only choose one.

The reporting of this did the rounds a week or so ago but I think it’s nice to hear it from the horse’s mouth if you will. What a great and warm thing for him to have done. I hope people who might not have ever considered the importance of learning about others take something from it.

My calendar has a different picture of Cliff Richard each month and the birthdays of people who love me

I remember when my friend was pregnant nine years ago and I said "well, at least you don't get anti-vaxxers in the UK so that's a relief" and she just looked at me as if to say "oh, my sweet, naive childfree friend"

Feel like the Brewdog brand, aside from any feelings about the founder and how they treat their staff, belong to the era of burger places with toilets labelled 'cocks' and 'cvnts' & menu offerings like "JFK'S BLEEDING NECKHOLE SUNDAE, (NOT VEGAN, FUCK YOU HIPPIE) 18.5"

All streaming to be banned. You can only tape songs off the radio with the DJ talking over the intro. One telly per household with three channels. This must cause a nightly argument that ends with your dad shouting "Whose telly is it, eh? Who paid for that telly?"

All shops and takeaways to be officially renamed with the appropriate ethnic slurs, to serve them right for engaging with garlic

Not sure what bug I have, but every two days I think "hooray! I'm well enough to leave the house!" and then pay for it the next day by being up at 5am trying not to cough up an entire lung.

There is a player for Macclesfield called Buckley-Ricketts, which is an excellent name, even though it reminds me of this guy rationalwiki.org/wiki/Andy_Ka...

Personally I'll be waiting until tomorrow for twice as many marshmallows

Have we not already been penalised enough by thirty years of "oh, but you'll change your mind!!" Also, how utterly delightful for those who are childless, as opposed to childfree.

If children were more politically active they would be quite pissed to be told that their screen time is “the most urgent public health issue” while the largest measles outbreak since the vaccine sweeps their schools because of conspiracies that the adults in their life believed from social media.

Are snow sports now accessible to working class kids who might have a talent and interest in it, be that through funding, facilities or simply getting someone to a ski resort at an early enough age to make it a viable dream? Or is this thread comparing apples with quail's eggs?

So, I joined LinkedIn for the first time this week

I'm still not clear on what we're supposed to be doing with all the time gAI has freed up for us, now that we're not creating art, having our own conversations, making our own choices or having relationships with real people.

Not sure which is worse: the mould or the half-arsed AI copy and pasting www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/1...

It’s at this point that we must seriously consider Annie for our next Prime Minister. She’s just saying what we’re all thinking.

What women on the left already knew before the files came out is that men can imagine a world of class consciousness (Chomsky), a universe more expansive than ever before known (Hawking), a world where you can live forever (Attia) but not a world where women are fully human.

Aww, bless him for thinking that's the germiest place it's been

Keith Andrews now officially designated the Suave Teacher Your Mum Can't Stop Mentioning In Passing After Parents' Evening of the Premier League.

#LFC’s right-back slot this season is the footballing equivalent to being a drummer for Spinal Tap.

That's great, Palnar, but I'm not clear what Polanski is able to do about this when he's busy campaigning for Gorton and Denton

Might apply to be Spurs manager, that should put off having to fill out application forms for a couple of months. Just need to work out what my Managerial Style should be. Suit and tie? Normcore-but-very-expensive black sweater? Repping the club shop?

Has Thomas Frank been sacked? Remains unclear

Everyone else: AAAGGHHH TEETH FALLING OUT!! SNAKE!! France: I should call her Greece: ooh hat
