Went to the loo in the castle today, pushed open a cubicle door and there was a bloke already in there... back to me, pants round his ankles, hand fully up between his cheeks cleaning. That's something I'll never unsee.
You absolutely SHOULD NOT go around telling people that data centers are full of gold, silver, palladium, copper, and that the data centers are almost entirely unstaffed.
how many just one bad apples are we up to now?

Can you imagine the almost complete lack of self-awareness needed to draft this post, let alone hit 'send'
It is not enough just to distance ourselves, we must stand with women in this fight.
...that this is NOT how you treat women, it is utterly UNACCEPTABLE, and totally beneath contempt. These men are vile, not role models, and we should be LOUD and VOCAL in our condemnation; not trying to underplay it or sweep it under the carpet.
And this isn't a "not all men" thing, this is me saying this is utterly evil, and men (real men) should be calling this out, condemning it unequivocally and telling other men, especially young men at risk of the atrocious attitudes pedalled by the likes of Andrew Tate and his ilk...
I'm not going to link to it, or even go into details, because it is horrific and undoubtedly hugely triggering for some. That said, if I was to say CNN and 62m, and you know what I'm referring to, then know there are men who are horrified by this.
Thanks Jacqui!

Peter mandelsons entire career is like a cursed pharaohs amulet that kills everyone that tries to use its power and every other week some Labour party idiot picks up and goes have we tried using the pharaohs amulet
S33 of the Simpsons and some other smart kids at her school have just realised Lisa's smart...
This is like that Friends thing where those lifelong friends keep noticing weird things about each other they would definitely have known before, only the writers needed a subplot for Joey that week...
Helps you poop regular.
If Nigel Farage has achieved one positive thing in his insidious, grifting career, it's convincing the British Public that we are no longer a two-party Democracy.

FIFA must be feeling pretty bloody silly right about now.
Watching Viktor Orban concede an election is another reminder that Donald Trump is a convicted felon who appears over 30,000 times in the Epstein files and is a delusional, incoherent, traitorous toddler who is destroying the country and a threat to the entire world.

Great review on Goodreads for Parallels 🎉
Loved that show
Look at the women at NASA.
They are the ones pushing the boundaries of science, solving problems most people can’t even understand, and carrying this country forward, while our politicians right now posture and stumble through talking points.
And they are doing it all with joy.👇
Mike Bushell referring to trying to work out who's going to win the horse race as a fine Grand National tradition.
Umm, that's every horse race, Mike. That's literally the only draw of the sport of horse racing.
Turns out Russia, Russia, Russia was worse than we thought
Oh yeah definitely the one thing sci fi and fantasy has been missing is the male gaze
Eastercon – a place of hope and resistance
This weekend it was Eastercon - Iridescence. Held in Birmingham, UK. It was very busy and we were in a hotel large enough to also accommodate the 500 attendees of the anime con known as HaruhiCon. It was lovely to see everyone again but my main take away…
“You’re not supposed to use your phone while driving.”
“Got it. Let’s install large tablet touchscreens in almost every single new car.”
From a post:
“Told my wife to have dinner ready by 6 or I'll obliterate her entire civilization.
So anyway, she now charges me a fee to use the bathroom that used to be free, and I didn't get any dinner, but I'm pretty sure I won that exchange.”
One should never condone, instigate or encourage violence, but if I wake up tomorrow to the news that Trump and Hegseth are swinging from lampposts, I'd be remarkably understanding of that decision.
So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?
