It’s Hallowe’en. The turnip-man’s lopped head Blazes at us through split bottle glass And fumes and swims up like a wrecker’s lantern. Death mask of harvest, mocker at All Souls With scorching smells, red dog’s eyes in the night- We ring and stare into unhallowed light.

YOU’RE NOT HELPING, NFT WEIRDOS.
I’m making an NFT’s for peace collection dropping next week. 25% to Israel 25% to Palestine and 50% for me and my team. Message me for the discord so you can reserve yours now. Here’s a few examples of the art. Peace in the Middle East apes. Can’t we all just get along?

That look when you’ve just robbed your supporters of over £28k and fucked off to Disney Land. Good grifting, Calvin Robinson.

Elon Musk boosting two regular fake news posters who have historically posted debunked videos neither are on the ground or verify. both have shared AI-generated videos in the past as real. they just share any garbage they come across to rack up views.

It is times like this that shows that Twitter is broken. Blue tick bad faith actors, liars and disinformation mongers are not only promoted by the algorithm, but it also monetises their content.

The new provost of Eton, quoted in today’s Telegraph. 80% of his close male friends are from Eton and he treats everyone else with suspicion. No wonder the school spews out so many egomaniacs and weirdos

In the sense that it was a load of rancid incoherent bollocks stitching together a clutch of nasty bigotries, yeah, it was truly Scrutonian.

No, it was not 'gifted' by anyone, it was seized by one of the most brutal colonizers Ireland to which Ireland has ever been subjected, who honed his genocidal skills with Drake. That seizure was challenged, and retrospectively legitimized in the nineteenth century ...
From 2015. ‘The Earl of Shaftesbury, Nick Ashley-Cooper, has licensed 5 sand extraction firms to take a million tons of sand a year from the lough. It is then sold on, mostly to construction firms. The lough bed was gifted to his family in the 17thC.’ belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/…

The idea that in 2023 we’d be paying an absentee landlord for natural resources is bizarre. Give him £1 and tell him to fuck off.

We shouldn't have to pay an unelected Earl (who has profited over Lough Neagh) to have control over our own water. This important Lough should be handed over without a single penny transferred into the Earl's bank account.

In March 2006, Professor Daniel M. Oppenheimer published a paper that argued writers seem more intelligent when using simple words than fancy ones. His paper was titled “Consequences of Erudite Vernacular Utilized Irrespective of Necessity”
