Magnificently phrased question to Polanski from ITV who asked about the idea of water, asking if the extra tax yields would be more than cancelled out by the drop in productivity caused by "everybody pissing all the time".

Genuinely don't think most people care one way or the other - but if you force the debate, the results may not be what Labour expects

"I've seen first hand the effects of the current system and won't support anyone changing it" is not a logical conclusion

Never forget loool PRICK

I feel like "respect the dead" was actually about digging a deep hole to avoid the spread of plague, not being nice about people on Twitter Dot Com

For the 2nd time in my life, I am fighting for my life arguing that The Boy Friend (1971) is a good film

Why does God always give me his gayest battles?

"Ukrainians are ‘collective transgenders’ – Dugin The country has bartered away its Russian identity for an “abstract and absurd alternative,” the political scientist has said Ukrainians are ‘collective transgenders’ – Dugin Alexandr Dugin. © Sputnik Ukrainians have become “collective transgenders” in their desire to get closer to the West and cut ties with Moscow, Russian philosopher and political scientist Aleksandr Dugin has said."

Me trying to explain fascism to students: "A lot has to do with fear of supposedly stable gendered boundaries blurring, and how that maps onto racial and national hierarchies. But can I really say transphobia is the lodestone to fascism?"

Aleksandr Dugin: "Ukrainians are collective transgenders."

Screengrab from a 2021 Slate article headlined An Interview with the Guy Who Yells Mortal Kombat in the the Theme for Mortal Kombat. The subheading is Nearly three decades later he's still got it. The byline is Matthew Dessem. The featured text is the form of a Q and A. I see. Will you do it over the phone? Would I do it over the phone? Absolutely. Let's hear it. Mortal Kombat!

Bring back proper games journalism.

I am 99% sure the Evening Times once did an FOI and it was (officially or unofficially) branded the Poo League

I once looked at every pool in Glasgow on the app, just to see when they were open and now I get almost hourly updates on "unforseen circumstances" and "circumstances beyond our control"

Might become a gimmick account for pool shitting

I am once again asking you to just say a kid did a jobby

I say all this to say that despite having had 6 months to get an outfit together for tonight, the missing piece was a tanktop I'm pretty confident my mum bought me for my first holiday as an adult.

It is my 40th birthday party.

Important philosophy question: why is the 3rd outfit you try on always the right one?

And if you tried that one 1st, would it have been right or is it always the secret 3rd thing?

No, it wasn't even a bad place to work generally, they were just absolutely shit at the worst possible time

Having to explain that the therapy, which they knew I was attending as they made me work every second back, was to resolve the issue and was more effective than recieving a letter from them saying I shouldn't be anxious again or I might be fired >>>

The whole thing resulted in them having to get occupational health in to verify that the reason I was off with anxiety was because I had been diagnosed with anxiety, something they already knew

Forever haunted by the vision of my manager putting up a Mental Health Awareness Week poster on the same day they tried to discipline me for being too anxious to come to work on 1 (one) occasion

*holds finger to ear*

I'm hearing The New Statesman is doing a Mandy Rhodes

Being able to position yourself as being distinct from Government without needing to oppose quite literally anything the Government does unless it makes you personally less wealthy

So much this, it's more the setting up of a "moderate" camp which ~just so happens~ to take the position that makes Bezos the most money

I feel this in my bones, I was stubbornly refusing to start the form and then found it, fully completed

Really feel like there's a name for this stuff!

Feels incredibly weird to finally have a diagnosis for ADHD after a mere 40 years of [wanders off before completing post]

the way that straight people are allowed to retcon lgbt history is disgusting.

I phoned home today specifically to tell my mum

But credit to the guy famous for his cheap shite bathrooms for going with "I only use the finest natural materials for my giant inflatable duck"

My own method for assessing the beads that are all over my THIRD FLOOR flat was looking at them and confirming they are obviously polystyrene

The greatest local Facebook drama in history
