Think I'm gonna try and curate my experience on here a bit and try and make it more enjoyable than the other place. In that spirit I've just blocked a recent mutual who apparently mainly posts about Arsenal football club. The Arsenal quota is maxed out
How is this relevant to my post
Love when these things happen and random British people with 200 followers feel weirdly compelled to be like "but seriously, I actually condemn this kind of political violence in the strongest possible terms", who's that for exactly
Thought people were meant to be nice over here!
The most generous reading of Mandelson's ties to Epstein is that he was there not for paedophile reasons, but because of his long history of swanning around with very rich cunts for almost certainly corrupt purposes
I always work so much faster and with so much more motivation when I have next week off. Wonder if I can turn this into a business case for me to get 26 weeks of annual leave a year
Hard to imagine there'd be any point in having a Green Party that gains the support of John Rentoul, so this feels like a big waste of everyone's time
I find it bizarre that we're forced to accept live-streamed genocide and are told that it's illegal to be opposed to it, but anyone who says the obvious about these guys is at best putting their account at risk and at worse potentially facing legal charges. and the obvious is: we need to kill them
She definitely worked there, she told me her real name and her job. I even knew where she lived cos she was selling her house and she sent me the listing. Think she was nervous at first about meeting which is fine but it eventually became a whole Thing
I was pretty relaxed about meeting and never pushed it. I finally gave up on her when I spent two weeks in the hospital and she didn't visit. She worked there!
(she was much older than me) anyway, she kept coming up with increasingly absurd reasons not to meet even though we worked less than a mile from each other and live in the same city. A truly baffling part of my life
Logged on here and the first post I see is about a sort-of ex of mine who's now a massive obsessive TERF, fucking hell. Spoke to her for a year-ish online but never actually met because she was very obviously lying about her age
Been listening to this and it's beautiful, consider this an official ropestoinfinity dot bluesky dot social Endorsement
Just presented my office swipe card to the lock on my own front door. This is gonna be a long Tuesday
My recording style very much operated on a "fuck it, that'll do" ethos, which to be fair is how I approach every other aspect of my life
Listening to an album I recorded 19 years ago and only just noticing I just panned a whole 5.5-minute song entirely to the left speaker by mistake. Can't believe I never made it as a musician and producer
Like this is such a fucking perverse thing to do to an acoustic guitar youtu.be/lfrjcf6ER6Q?...
When I found out that Melvins did a 36-track, 2.5-hour album of acoustic versions, I wondered how they'd rearrange their heavy distorted rock songs to suit the acoustic guitar. Turns out they didn't bother, and just played them all exactly the same way youtu.be/mhq50L8UogU?...
Hard to imagine the scale of the devastation it must be causing among all my sexy mutuals not to be able to DM me over on X, The Everything App, which they do all the time by the way. Ladies don't worry, I'm here too x
UK public voting for Israel, fuck's sake
Not only am I not in the US but my vote literally makes no difference where I live in the UK, so you probably shouldn't worry about me too much
You guys are so patronising. I'm nearly 45 years old! I've voted for Tony actual Blair in the past! I voted for Brown! I've done the lesser of two evils thing at multiple elections and all we get offered is the same shit
GDP growth is not a meaningful measure of how progressive a society is. The economy grew by that measure under the Tories most years even during austerity even as living standards plummeted
It's amazing innit, Labour under Starmer are just kind of de facto centrist regardless of what policies they enact, whereas I'm far-right-adjacent for...opposing right wing policies too much?
Nothing's ever the centrists' fault is it, even the politics they actually enact as a government. It's somehow my fault for opposing both Starmer and the far right
Do you think we like the right wing press and Nigel Farage?
I was here in the UK experiencing the Tory corruption and ineptitude. I wanted something different, this week all Labour are talking about are immigration crackdowns, expanding prisons and making benefits cuts
People will tell you that not voting, or voting for a minor party, is a dereliction of duty and a waste of your precious vote, but for me the biggest waste of your vote is just to reassure a party that you'll turn up and put your X down for them regardless of what they do
A significant number of the pundits suddenly noticing that Labour are bad will still be telling us to vote Labour at the next election. At some point, if you want things to change, you have to make them earn your vote too
I just don't get it. I've been saying "Reform are right but vote Labour" for months now and they still keep wanting to vote for Reform!? I think this means I need to be even more clear about how Reform are right but you should to vote Labour
the labour right have always always done this and thereโs only three hypotheses that explain it: 1) theyโre really fuckin stupid; 2) they prefer losing to having the left win; 3) they actively want the right to win
Sun really shows how fuckin grey I'm going
He thought he could get away with all types of bullshit simply because he was cute
Murphy, a foster cat we had for a few months. Ended up having to lock him out of any room you wanted to eat in
Here's hoping!
Part 2
Anyway today I came across a barn owl who likes to hang out during the day and got chatting to some guy with a pro camera setup who comes regularly to see him. Here are my crappy attempts to capture this majestic bird
Yeah, last week I was telling someone about it who wanted to learn about birds
Fringe opinion I think, but good to know
Having a lot of wholesome conversations with random fellas about birds lately, I fear it may be time to embrace being an unfuckable middle aged man and become a serious Bird Nerd
"Can I ask how you got here? It's just you're the second person to walk through here and this is supposed to be A Scene" and then asking me to show him on his phone where I walked from. Maybe spend less time on your phone and more time on your cordoning skills mate
Just had my Jeff Buckley rudely interrupted on my Sunday morning walk by a copper asking what I'm doing walking through his crime scene. Can't do anything in this country these days
I've had two glasses of wine and about to open a beer, normal Saturday
I didn't change the picture from here www.spiked-online.com/2025/04/26/k...
He's writing this for the UK's foremost Free Speech magazine by the way, meanwhile Kneecap have had their US visas revoked and been dropped by their agent there over this. We've somehow reached the point where criticising Israel is actually the "only* thing that's considered antisemitic
This from Brendan O'Neill really made me think ๐ค
fundamentally, and what makes it so insulting when self-styled left wingers join in with battering a minority, is that when the press, billionaires, fascists, and religious conservatives all unite against a group of people it couldn't be more obvious what side you should be on
An update
I'm not really a sci-fi person either tbh, getting towards the end of Lost at the minute and definitely enjoyed it more when it was slightly more in touch with reality
Was gonna post this exact tweet in my follow up but couldn't find the text version and I don't want to get run out of town for not using alt text
I haven't, no, any good?
Sounds like some kind of botched experiment from sci-fi which inadvertently destroys earth by summoning bloodthirsty mutants from another dimension
Work have just launched our exciting new strategy on the use of AI, which they are keen to stress will help us do our jobs better and not replace us. Anyway they're calling it 'Project Nexus' which is hilariously evil sounding, come on lads
Only one thing for it, Labour have gotta get more racist
Fame is a fickle mistress
It's very strange to have a regular cat picture do numbers certainly. Told him about it last night and he's not arsed
Wow this blew up! Check out my other two cats who I also think are great
I just think he's neat
New Green Party advert just dropped explaining why you should vote for them. And its a cracker!
The porn bots seem to have lost interest in me lately ๐
Well if you want I can get some off 'Trippy Godfather' and then we can make a deal, I've been looking for a new career
Does anyone know why approximately half the accounts I follow back on here immediately try and sell me drugs in the DMs
The government policy sucks, is the thing
Listening to Homogenic a week ago I thought "I wonder if anyone's isolated Bjรถrk's 'beep beep' bits from 'Alarm Call' and made it their actual alarm", anyway it turns out of course they have. Hoping this makes getting up for work tomorrow less depressing www.reddit.com/r/bjork/s/R1...
Weird how this didn't work?
What the fuck is wrong with you
Good to go up big fucking hills and get blown about like a dickhead imho. Had horrible flashbacks to doing those fucking cairn minigames in Assassin's Creed Valhalla though
Went here, too tired to think of a funny caption though
Still find it hard to take anyone seriously when they call it 'X'. Like I know it's probably the professional thing to do but it's so...undignified
Before the woke brigade came along
He's tired out now from another day of being a needy little bastard
He's right to say it
My boxers so rarely to get to experience the breeze, little treat for them
Was exciting to get my laundry out on the line in the sunshine for the first time in months. Did it dry? Fuck no! But it was nice to briefly feel like it might
Sounds creepy
'Not really' is the answer
Do videos work on here? Let's find out
I got the gist ๐
Yeah, I looked at replacing mine but they're crazy expensive now, so I'm just desperately clinging onto this hunk of shit since I've at least paid it off
I'm tail end of Gen X, not so bad at phone calls but I put all my life admin tasks off anyway until they cause me grief. Currently paying people back for money I borrowed in January to pay for a grand's worth of car repairs, and that's after it cost me 500 quid in November ๐ญ
Yeah it's bad times, luckily there are plenty of hot people with good politics but you can't always tell straight away
Yeah see that would make it easier to unfollow, I just have to decide how strongly opposed am I to wishy-washy liberal centrism
Someone I sort of thirst-followed on Instagram has posted a Starmer/Macron fan edit on stories, and said Starmer's statesmanship has made her 'proud to British'. Difficult times for me
Aww, that's sad ๐ just been looking through your pics though and I do feel envious of your lifestyle while I'm chained to my stupid desk
God it's ages since I talked to you! Glad you found me
Oh you're probably right. Me and the cat crew are all okay, you?
Could have sworn we already followed each other here
We need to move beyond these outdated notions of 'having a job' and 'going to work'. I shouldn't have to do these things
It's a date ๐
If it helps, I hate being inside or outside and I don't think my body is even capable of running
I'm on my way!
She was very clear to specify that it should be posted through her letterbox, clearly she did not want to have to interact with whoever was delivering her ice cream. Have to respect it
Phwoar
I would definitely give you a choc ice if you asked on a WhatsApp group and I had one
All I have are white Magnums, missed my chance to become a hero
Woman on my neighbourhood WhatsApp group posted earlier to say she was too tired/ill to go to the shops and could someone kindly post a choc ice or Feast through her letterbox? People are using the magic of the internet in incredible ways
Post a picture of you from a different era. 1995/6, a truly hipster setup with my sick AC Milan training top, and SWOS on the Amiga
Statistically it's this bsky.app/profile/rope...
Margo, delighted to be photographed as always
