This week, Shadow Chancellor (stop laughing) Robert Jenrick unveiled our latest sack of mad ideas to a near empty room. If you have a few minutes to spare, you can read all about it in Nigel's Notebook: parodypm.substack.com/p/its-bobby-...
"Look at The Rock, and how much more aggressively he bulked out after he lost his hair. Look at Jeff Bezos, who reacted to baldness by pumping iron and building willy-shaped space rockets. Now compare this to Stewart, who [embraced] his baldness without ever apologising for it."
To baldly go: Patrick Stewart was an icon for bald men everywhere
The actor was an exemplary bald, unapologetically embracing his hairloss and setting the scalp-based bar for all other men with receding hairlines

"Why would you sprinkle round a few politically smart (albeit small) giveaways now but delay all the really tough and unpopular decisions on welfare and defence to an autumn spending review if you weren't creating a window for a spring election?"
Why MPs keep talking about an early election despite Burnham's denials
The prime minister has categorically ruled out an early general election, but it has not stopped speculation at Westminster.

I've seen the post castigating people for not knowing of a particular celebrity and my dude I have to tell you that no matter who you are there are literally thousands of "celebrities" you have never heard of in the US alone, if you want to play that game I will absolutely BURY you in your ignorance
Please, please, do not use the IOS app to pledge to my Patreon. Patreon is the reason I can afford to update Mom's bathroom after her stroke and keep the house safe and livable for her. What Apple is doing is an overreach of OFFENSIVE proportions.
reapersun@reapersun.bsky.social · 2w agoIf you pledge to my patreon through the ios app you will pay an additional 30% fee (Apple's fee, they keep all that!) AND your pledge is held by Apple for 75 days. So if you pledge to me in March maybe I will get that money for rent in June.
I dont want flying bombs masquerading as flying cars that serve no purpose to humanity. I want the cure to alzheimers.

With Halloween revelers preparing to celebrate in nurse uniforms and other costumes, the Japanese Red Cross Society is warning that any use of the iconic red cross emblem without authorization is against the law.
Dressing as a nurse this Halloween? Adding a red cross breaks the law.
Often mistaken for a general symbol of medical care, the red cross is protected under the law and reserved for specific humanitarian purposes.

I know someone who was a preschool worker and she got RICH a few years ago from Bitcoin. 7 figures. Could've retired. Instead just bought lots of Disney stuff and acted like it was earned. Aaaand earlier this year she got scammed out of all of it. ALL of it. Super broke now. Ignored advice to save.
thinking about Patrick Stewart and Tim Curry and Dolly Parton and Catherine O’Hara and how many of the tributes shared after they died translate to something like “their art made me feel like I wasn’t alone in the world” it is hard to think of a better way to spend a life than that
