A friend told me her first relationship ended because the guy wanted her to shave her armpits. She had no interest in doing it, but he was really insistent. She said, "Ok, we'll compromise, I'll shave one armpit, so we'll each have one we like." He got really agitated then and said "That's WORSE!"

Staying at a hotel tomorrow night, just had an email from them encouraging me to download their app, choose my room, check in online, and go straight to my room on arrival. Do you want me to clean the bathroom as well, lads?

We were watching that silly new Tom Hiddleston reenactment of the disaster of Pompeii and he was like ‘we have amazing new tech that allows us to track people through this disaster’ and I was oh no he’s going to say it’s an AI brain or something and then he said…. ‘Its a spreadsheet’ and I CHEERED

Dave. You don’t need to do this. You should be playing a hunky librarian who solves mysteries while wearing his little glasses.

Good to see people respecting a dead writer’s work by reminding everyone of their most memorable pieces, the words they deserve to be remembered for

Cats of Yore@catsofyore.bsky.social · 4d agoNobody has an inalienable right to own a cat. If someone has cat allergies they can try shots or other Rx interventions for themselves, not support the breeding of disabled animals.

BUT... we are fighting a losing battle when 'it was known in the biker community' means men knew. Men like my son. Two fathers of daughters told the singer they would punch him if he didn't fuck off. The rest did nothing. Biker events carried on with a known predator as a welcome part of them.
