The age of AI and click bait has made obituaries so insufferably disrespectful now. "Don't say the name so people click on the story to find out who you're talking about" is rancid, don't *do* this, please.

They have a problem with Burnham's jogging outfit? Might I remind them of this horror they unleashed upon us?
Anyone got the old Robo Hunter Titan books? Was there a strange effect on some of the pages, that looked like a child colouring in the laser blasts with a red pen? It's to settle an argument.
So TV pulls stuff from their services, so people don't have the option to watch them at all, and at the same time provides inadequate warnings for the stuff they're actually showing that guarantees people get traumatised. 'Sexual content' is a flash of boob/willy. It is NOT attempted rape. JTS.
Is it because they cost a wanktwillion quid, your neighbours will be equally money-grubbing bastards always banging on about house prices, and you'll wake up every morning living in a noisy, smelly, angry rats nest? I haven't read it, so this is just a guess. www.theguardian.com/money/2026/o...

I'm sure the decision to hold Danny Tommo on remand will soon be reversed, now that a couple of dozen knobbly-kneed wife beaters in nonce bonnets have walked under an arch.
"The catch is that the Trump administration is reportedly considering paying for the change by redirecting some of the money that now helps low-income parents pay for childcare." There's always a catch. ICYMI @citizencohn.bsky.social:

In my early 20s I had an affair with a married woman almost 20 years older than me that I worked with. The sex was mind blowing but has ruined every other relationship I've had since as nothing has lived up to what we did together.
We have a real fight on our hands ...... to spread our message of hate and division. Good 👍
"I left Britain because of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods" said nobody genuinely ever. The Telegraph scours the globe for anyone of notable net worth who recently moved and asking them for a list of pet peeves out of which they pick the one that serves the Telegraph "capital flight" narrative best.

By 40, you should have a shirt you can’t bear to throw out, an animal you over-identify with, a bad 90s movie that makes you weep due to unresolved issues with a parent, an apotropaic charm to ward off The Curse, inexplicable memory lapses, blood on your hands, so much blood, & shoes w/ arch support
as a satire on so-called late stage capitalism how could one beat investors pouring a trillion into a company offering to wipe out humankind
I mean, I’m not being funny but it would be just my fucking luck if I followed “graduated in the middle of a recession” and “tried to get a mortgage the week of the 08 financial crisis” with “became a pensioner when they finally scrapped the triple lock”.
Stephen Bush@stephenkb.bsky.social · last wk.👇A thing which is really striking once you see it is that people visibly think that the words “triple lock” means “all pensions”, from the people who think scrapping it means “no pension” to the people who start ranting about boomers on cruises.
