Not sure if my primary concern is your vitamin intake or food in direct contact with the train table 😬 but good luck either way!

Peter Kyle MP prefacing his ChatGPT reply to me that I am 'valid' and I 'exist'. Yes, Peter, I'm a voter in your fucking constituency

I genuinely wonder how people who sell AI slop as music or art or poetry can sleep at night. There is not even any nihilistic frisson of anti-humanist jouissance to be gained from their pitiful endeavor, they are actually fucking contemptible, shitting on the human soul, the banal enemies of life.

Honestly? Fuck the Home Office.

After tonight's service I spent my evening hearing stories of how the Home Office treats Iranian Christian Converts, Nigerian Lesbians, and Indian Doctors, and the fear and pain and anxiety they're all experiencing is absolutely abhorrent and unnecessary.

Made up statistic that merely reflects your own prejudices aside, surely most people already 'boycott' 99.9% of pubs by default, as in 'don't go to'. And yes, if the landlord of my favoured local was as outwardly obnoxious as Tim Wetherspoon, guess what Sherlock, I probably wouldn't go there
