Logically it must be… but for some reason I’m getting strong Tuesday vibes!

Right, looks like I can get a mortgage if I can find another £7,000 for the deposit. So if you’ve not bought my live show “Always Bet On Beth” yet, well, I’m sorry you’re such a transphobe, but you can feel better by helping me get a house

What's striking about this grid from JL Partners Polling earlier this month is just how little British people care about all the anti-woke moral panic bullshit despite how much of the discourse it constantly monopolises in every single nook and cranny of the UK press.

The 2024 general election should have concluded with a Croft/Perry/Lloyd “You have been watching” sequence of all the Tories whose antics have been diverting us, showing where they are now. Truss searching the bottom of a ballot box, Cameron in his posh shed, Rees-Mogg sobbing into nanny’s bosom.

I am really really sick to the back teeth of multi-factor authentication. I appreciate it's absolutely necessary, but it's such a faff, especially on a small device when you have to swap between the auth app and the app you're trying to get into.

I specifically wrote my author bio to be gender neutral when there was a blog tour for my debut novel. So it was annoying when some book bloggers rewrote it to make me "he" and another in their review refered to me as "Mr Limb".

By the way, I keep referring to it as Twitter (rather than Bird Site, Other Place etc) when talking about it here because if nothing else it would piss Omen Sulk off given he tried to rebrand it to X and that didn't stick.

He probably died in that 2010 plane crash and was replaced by Ba’al the frog demon which cast a glamour over the media. After all aside from that that he's just an archetypal pub bore.

I am sure smarter people than I am probably know WHY the bulk of media has such a thirst for fascism and can explain with diagrams. But supervillains don't really need concrete motivations in OTT movies. They just need to be stopped. HOW is what I want to know.

The Green Party's 4 seats are far more impressive than Refash's 4 because they managed it without the entire media setting up camp in their back passages and giving them wall to wall 24 hour coverage for the past 5 years.

A total of four seats for the Greens, up from one, and Lib Dems up a massive 61 from 8. There's a story there, and the story is there are people who are left-leaning, but cannot vote for labour with a clear conscience. (Climate change ignored and anti-trans rhetoric.)
