Wishing the absolute worst day to whichever soulless ghoul came up with the idea of using dementia to sell fucking Dairy Milk.

The bore worms have reminded me that at some point I need to get round to making the ultimate bear halloween costume.

Feeling like becoming one of those people who just checks out of trying to understand the world to become obsessed with butterfly collecting or discovering the “true” identity of King Arthur, or getting into a really obscure kink. Any recommendations welcome.

This where the “what matters to Keir is winning” strategy got us. A prime minister making deeply unpopular decisions with no coherent justification because he thinks “winning” entitles him to do so. When I say that people running Labour are shit at their jobs this is what I mean.
Even as a politics lecturer in a Middle East department, I am lost. Israel has a right to self defence, but Lebanon does not? Israelis have the right to be safe, but Palestinians do not? Iran can’t launch missiles into civilian areas, but Israel can? None of this is coherent.

When the Tories next ask why people aren't proud of their country can someone remind them that they consistently want it to cosplay as another country. Fucking mental.
Israel is about as popular as Jimmy Savile RN, & a Tory Leadership Candidate stating that a Star of David should be at every port of entry to the UK ain't gonna be winning over a single ST. George waving, Poppy Policing, Flagshagging Patriot Tory Voter.

Who would have thought that investing the Labour leadership in a cohort of London based professionals who've spent the last 15 years envying the lifestyles of their peers in the law and investment banking would lead to them making some out of touch financial decisions?

A low value subscription based model allowing continued access is just corruption "as a service".

Labour MPs realising in real time that just because you call it being a "sugar baby" does not in fact mean that no one else realises what the gifts are in exchange for.

Realised I was born 1700 years too late because my core abilities of remembering and debating the minutiae of secondary fantasy worlds and feeling compassion for horrible people but judging them anyway would have made me a kick-ass church father.

Is it bad that I read this thread and thought “I could put on a better Regency ball than that” and now I’m googling how much it costs to hire a horse and carriage.

Can't wait to find out which hackneyed SF trope she claims to have invented in her publicity interviews. I'm going to guess sex robots.

Call me a curmudgeon, but I think if you choose to re-record songs in a smooth jazz style you shouldn’t wimp out on doing the rap feature, so kudos to whoever sang the De La Soul part of this insane version of Feel Good Inc. the hotel bar is currently playing. ⭐️

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out Because I was not a communist Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me Pertinent words re Starmer’s smoking ban

Rescued from the blue bin because I was off at Pride creating queer folklore of my own, but really looking forward to getting stuck into @sacha_coward’s Queer As Folklore during tomorrow’s inevitable torturous hangover.

A woman with an accent so southern I’m 80% sure is she’s called Tomara is slagging off Irish people on the tram and I hope someone murders her.

Can someone come over and choose me four acceptable and weather appropriate outfits please because I'm lost. Cagoul and short shorts? Technical top and tight jeans? Merino polo, jockstrap and umbrella?
