I take photos IRL, on here I make crap jokes. That's it.
Please read my substack; "Littering a protected nature reserve is fine actually, or something, I don't know what the fuck is going on; in defence of pointing out these interminable books have melted people's brains."

Having just returned from a holiday & a climb of Ben Nevis, the sight of the summit radicalised me - graffiti and stickers everywhere, even a padlock on the trig point - all twee shit like this should be classed for what it is which is just posh littering
Stephen Bush@stephenkb.bsky.social · 12h agoThis is a very good, persuasive and think wholly correct piece. On the other hand: I am a snob who thinks that Ianto’s Shrine, Dobby’s Grave and these various mawkish sites need to be destroyed for basic reasons of good taste.

Meanwhile Laura Loomer is fending off accusations that she’s a trans woman. Participating in right wing political discourse just melts people’s brains.
Dag.@3fecta.bsky.social · last wk.Max Miller now insinuating that Bernie Moreno only is going after him now to deflect from the gay rumors. Everything is just peachy.
As with so many part of the UK public realm, there's a graph and it shows "something happened in 2010 and we became a society with lesser public capacity to respond to unexpected challenges"

Wanting to be a 'writer' who has no interest in writing (or readers) is the 21st C manifestation of either wretched, confused narcissism or capitalism's apathetic, feeble death rattle. Or both. It's like installing an app that tells you you've been for a nice walk with friends when you haven't.

The telegraph editorially wrestling with precisely who it’s comfortable with doing its fascism is v interesting. Guys, this is your baby. You *literally* asked for it, and told the people who warned you that it was nasty politics that they were ‘the wokerati’.

Glad our idiot government isn't going all in on electricity devouring AI data centres that would make this the new norm for no significant societal or economic gain. Oh wait...

The problem is that the super-rich have opted out of our society and taken our money with them to build their own. So the question is, how do we get back what they've stolen from us? And how do we defend ourselves when they try to stop us?
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 2d agoPSA: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.
Well, quite the morning for British actors showing their entire "yeeting the trans community under the bus" arses. I mean Laurie already did those interminable cash cow "audio drama" versions of the HP books so he was on the shitlist, but looks like he's leaning in to it.

Every six months a writer goes on parental leave, is driven insane by watching 10,000 hours of Paw Patrol, and writes another one of these articles, and they're always great.

The real story her is, as ever, pervert glasses men making women uncomfortable in public spaces, but Michael manages to make it all about his own fragile pathetic ego, bristling patriarchal prudishness and sense of ownership over the women in his life.

The BBC takes an interest in basketball - one of the most popular sports in the country that it ignores all the time - only to “cover” the absolute nonsense going on around the invisible transgender threat to the WNBA.
i encourage all of you, regardless of your age, to not take this shit advice
this is a pretty good microcosm of how things in big tech have changed over the past few years is this really important? no, but "what's in the microkitchens" is an easy way to make people feel special, which is something that used to be very important in big tech now it's "sit down and shut up"

Like a girl finds out in one of the books that her life is facilitated by secret slave labour and starts to protest it and the message is, she’s a wokescold know it all who should leave the slaves to their natural and correct destiny
Speaking of Dobby, I often think about how people who haven’t read those books would be surprised to learn just how many pages are devoted to defending slave labour
