Have I played “Control Resonant”? Sorry…I’m too busy reading the story of a man who “Controls Rocinante”…that’s right, Miguel Cervantes’ immortal tale “Don Quixote de La Mancha”. So you enjoy your strange “Federal Bureau”…I’ll be delighting in the adventures of Sancho Panza and his “Friendly Burro”
Can't stand the stereotype that only seniors love Werther's Original. They're simply the ideal candy: sweet without being overpowering due to the slow dissolution in the mouth, and the caramel adds a subtlety to the flavor that sets them apart from a skittle or a starburst.
when i start ruminating on the boxed cereals which destroyed my memory, nothing can help me sleep. not even getting in full military regalia
you see Americans talk like this and you realise it's in defense of the ancient folkways of Chicago or something
Kendra "Gloom is My Beat" Pierre-Louis@kendrawrites.com · last wk.Yes what @alsorae.bsky.social said. I would also add, they're moving into more and more spaces that are outside of the areas that transplants traditionally lived in.
Bleakly, grimly hilarious that people my age have been hearing this exact same tune on repeat for very literally our entire voting lives now. I'm 40. My daughter starts seconday school next year.

I think it should be a source of deep embarrassment – and perhaps even shame – that Rishi Sunak has spoken out on this before Andy Burnham has.
Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social · last wk.Former PM Rishi Sunak in the Sunday Times challenges the rise of ethno-nationalism in British politics, as an argument within the right about Britishness being about ancestry, DNA and ethnicity www.thetimes.com/article/e89d...
"the author of that harry potter story leads an insane cult that's captured much of the media in this country" is a different person if you're in the UK or the US
I mean if you really want to hear Ed Sheeran without any opening acts you can simply get put on hold with your bank
the ways in which the USA can be an absurd nanny state are astounding
Radley Balko@radleybalko.bsky.social · last mo.Rage 🧵: A few years ago, our neighbors complained to the city about the plant growth on a steep slope in our backyard. It’s so steep that lawn care companies told me they won’t mow it. The city didn’t care. They threatened us with thousands of dollars in fines. I ended up writing about it:
utterly shocking admission. abruptly cancelling all surgeries without any evidence of harm
Jacey is a suitable combo of my actual name for privacy reasons@spacegrace.bsky.social · 3w agoWelcome to the UK, where using the magic word ‘trans’, allows you to skip standard process with no evidence of harm or wrongdoing. Just send a complaint! We all know they wouldn’t take the same action for any other form of healthcare. @plaidcymru.bsky.social cavuhb.nhs.wales/our-services...
hello I am modern aaa game designer. the shareholders told me to make the game longer. I do not wish to make the game longer. they told me to make the game longer or I lose job. I make the player collect 6 potatoes for 5% damage resistance. The shareholders are happy. I've been laid off.
Crushed@silenttakedown.bsky.social · 4w agoyeah sure whatever, let lara croft cook potato stew on her phone for 2m0s of damage resistance who gives a shit anymore
Do not speak to the BBC if you are trans. Just don't do it. Tell them to go fuck themselves. Even if you know the reporter and they are not an ass, tell them to go fuck themselves anyway because they work for the BBC and their editors will do this regardless of the journalist's intent.
Cwiar Cymru@cwiar.org · 4w agoMore appalling behaviour from the BBC. ⬇️ A trans person interviewed about their horrific experience having their surgery cancelled whilst in the hospital described as 'biologically female'. And then half the article devoted to praising the work of an unemployed transphobe. 🗣️ DEFUND THE BBC 🗣️
I am absolutely, 110% confident that the *adult woman* being discussed here has seen multiple psychiatrists and been repeatedly checked for proper understanding of the surgery and its consequences because that's what fucking happens with NHS trans surgery referrals.

MY AAA GIRLFRIEND: C’mere baby. I want you. *time stops* *VFX outline shimmers around her yellow underwear* ME, THINKING: I think she wants something, but what? *2 seconds later* ME, THINKING: Her underwear seems important. *2 seconds later* ME, THINKING: I bet I can interact with her underwear.
If Labour thinks this will be forgiven or forgotten they are wrong.

This might be the funnier YouGov poll: Canada's retaliatory tariffs are above water with US adults:
JLRay@jlray.bsky.social · 4w agoThe latest from YouGov (n ~ 17.6k): Yes, everyone hates the idea of renaming Lake Ontario. Trump barely breaks 40 percent of *Republicans* and Independents barely break into the *single digits* yougov.com/en-us/daily-...
predictably I have heard of two of these people and in both cases only because they intersected with politics in some way
dame@dame.is · 4w agoit’s that time of year again, Rolling Stone released their list of the top 25 content creators, which is actually a test of how old and out of touch you are… the lower your score, the more out of touch i’ve heard of 11 out of 25
there's absolutely no way they can have done a proper risk assessment of cancelling all types of surgery, at whatever stage, with absolutely no notice whatsoever
Lee Hurley@hleehurley.com · 4w agoWales Gender Clinic cancelling surgeries for trans people has made the front page of the Sunday Times and needed three (3) cis journalists to write it. Oddly, they actually quote trans people (lifted from Reddit)
people say this site doesn't have the juice but there's currently a multi-day blood war over whether expecting a date to wear deodorant is immature and anti-feminist
TESTER: You’re walking in a desert when you see a tortoise. You flip it over on its back. TESTEE: I wouldn’t do that. TESTER: Haha right, because that’d be tortoise interference! TESTEE: TESTER: TESTEE: Sorry is that a question. Like part of the test TESTER: *writing, muttering* Rrreplicant
I begged Woman’s Hour to cover Gamergate in 2014, when it was the NYT front page & UK women in games were living in terror. Gamergate became the model for MAGA. They said they didn’t think it was an important story. That week they covered women mountaineers of the 19th C & new ways with aubergine
Joel Morris@gralefrit.bsky.social · last mo.I pitched a show two years ago about this to Radio 4, to tie in with the release. They said they had already made a programme about computers fairly recently.
I was offered two surgery slots a week apart - the later one would actually have been better, would have let me attend an event I'd paid for, but I was so scared that it might suddenly be taken away from me that I wanted the earliest opportunity. I'm not glad to have been right
TransActual@transactualuk.bsky.social · last mo.The Welsh Gender Service has, we understand, been barred from making any new surgical referrals and hospitals have been told not to operate on NHS Wales patients while an independent clinical review takes place. This includes some who had already been admitted to hospital
