Just a happy-go-lucky scamp trying to cope with the insanity and inanity of this world. Politics: far-centrist. Rejoiner. Democratic civic nationalist. Fallor, ergo sum. 2026 goal: To not portray myself as Jesus.
We were wondering that just yesterday. Haven't seen one in years, but there are 61 in the UK.
My son, mid-30s, recently told me he'd had a vasectomy as he and his partner don't want children. I was initially surprised, but now get it. Beware the Eye of Sauron. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/02/b...
Good grief, according to Luminate 39% of the general US population self-define as content creators - I hope not just because they post pics of meals, pets and children.
MAGA influencer changes stance on Ukraine after free Happy Meal. I'm Lovin' It.
Poor, poor things. But hey, I'm sure uncle Donald will come to their rescue and have all charges against them dropped.

I can't find the bleet, but earlier this morning someone was talking about bread and circuses and damnatio memoriae. Spot on.
Really? Looks like a geography teacher with a dodgy moustache to me.
I can think of a few more companies who should use AI to create marketing campaigns. Any company Musk is involved with would do for a start.

Rueful laughter was my only option. "No matter that when a white person is killed by a foreigner, it is the cue to repress minorities still further and when a black person is killed by a white person, it is the black person’s fault for being here in the first place. An unmissable provocation."
Need some parts for the lawn mower. My searches turned up this gem of a diagramme that I can only assume was generated by an idiot, AI, or both.

Not only is RTÉs boycott of Eurovision a Good Thing, but upsetting Graham Linehan in the process is a Doubly Good Thing. Bravo.
The new makeup of MK Council. It has been a LD/Lab coalition in the past and has worked just as well. Nice to see Reform not being significant.
