Cheadle Hulme Vapes must be something, eh?

Cooling off. I'm sure she'll still want to sit on one of us later.

I posted this on Facebook a full 13 years before I realised I was autistic. I KNEW! I just didn't understand what autism was.

This view is a ten minute walk from my house. No room here either.

Depressing but utterly spot on.

Post from Bam Sullivan:
Can't raise minimum wage because it will kill jobs.
Can't raise taxes on the bourgeoisie class because it will kill jobs.
Can't ditch oil because it will kill jobs.
But when these companies replace 50% of their workforce with AI it's "sorry, that's just the way it goes."

If you see this, post a concert photo that you took

Supergrass on stage. Gaz Coombes in the middle with a white guitar, he's wearing a black shirt and a hat. Rob Coombes is in the background on keyboards and Danny Goffey is on Drums. Mick is not in frame. The stage background is a photo of their first album cover and the lighting is a purple/pink.

Case in point (you'll be pleased to see that I didn't take a photo of the dogshit I sidestepped).

A photograph of a suburban street. The road has double yellow lines both sides but there is a car fully on the pavement and they've put their bins next to the car so a wheelchair or pushchair cannot get past.

Our towns are run down dumps with little more than vape shops, betting shops and takeaways and constantly we see this shit. Fucking STOP.

I said it five years ago on the other place. Starmer is just the guy holding the clipboard watching the wrecking ball and he's so clueless he didn't even realise.

Screen grab from Twitter I'm 2021. A tweet from Starmer from 2020 where he says he wants to build an inclusive party was reposted with someone saying "he lied". My reply to that said "he didn't realise he was just the guy with the clipboard beneath the wrecking ball".

Is this a solution?

@hugorifkind.bsky.social "...terrify voters outside core supporters" By "core voters" do you mean the majority of voters under 65? Because it's only the over 65s who prefer another party - according to YouGov polling.

Left can't resist being on wrong side of a war
Whether it's Jeremy Corbyn or Zack Polanski, their foreign policy stances terrify voters outside core supporters

People see brown people in their town and think there are too many of them. It might look that way to racists because those people are out there working hard for low pay, keeping the white people - most of whom are sitting behind a desk doing a bullshit job or watching daytime TV because they retired at 60 - in the manner to which they've become accustomed.

I just tried to draw Morgan McSweeney

My son's school admin staff don't understand how to use apostrophes. I also receive all emails twice even when they're not relevant to my son. Can't wait for him to leave that place.

Early flowers. I assume snowdrops but I'm rubbish with these things and so is Google. Also in shot: an old stone wall and some trees (don't know what type they are either, sorry!).

Our holly berries are finally being eaten: by some visiting redwings.

This photo is from Christmas 2007.

Photo of a small cramped living area in a modern apartment. There are Christmas decorations, a sofa and futon, cushions, shelves, a CD tower, a coffee table and a small TV unit with an old CRT TV on top.

Search your first name then 'glamour shot' and post a photo. Not even joking, this is the number one Google result.

How do I describe this...ok... A couple are posing awkwardly in a supposed glamour shot. The man has no top of and is holding some sort of crossbow. He also has a mullet. His partner is behind him with her right leg over his right leg and I can't work out whether she has really bad hair or whether it is a hat. I'm sorry: that's the best I can do.

If the solution to keeping us working is things like this, what is the problem?
