Sometimes it's a shame to be an atheist. I'd love to believe there was a hell for people who watch tiktoks at full volume on the bus.

Everything he says has a "You don't know her, I met her at camp!" vibe.

When this is all over, I want to see a new version of the West Wing about the poor bastards whose job it is to do damage control every time he does something insane.

I refuse to be lectured on the dangers of mercury in vaccines by someone who drinks hydrogen and puts chlorine on their french fries.

Phil Graham @twigsays.bsky.social · 11d

Amen to that

Oh I have no doubt, it's just very sad that, at this point, it's probably the only way out of this mess

I really want to be happy to see this but it's a chilling indicator that it's not long before someone fires the first shot of a second civil war.

"The guy who got shot couldn't believe that I didn't" is an interesting flex.

Being overwhelmed and scared away from new casual hobbies by incessant advertising is a great reason to stay off Facebook.

I made the mistake of posting that I was attending my first D&D game a few weeks ago. Now I'm just being bombarded.

The antivaxx thing is getting really old now. We need a new one.

Apparently, 99% of car accidents are caused by the rising prices of tinned soup. Alcohol and guardrails don't even exist. 5g chemtrail bats etc.

Ask China. China knows. Do your own googling.

I don't think I ever fully appreciated how weird it is to see TV ads that are really inappropriate to the show they're breaking before we started streaming everything.

Going straight from Handmaid's Tale to an ad for Taskmaster is just bizarre.

Apparently, "it can only good happen"
I know it's a really serious and scary issue but hearing him say that, I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

Yeah I wish I could do that. When I start to resent a project I start doing it badly because I'm tired (I suspect also out of some level of subconscious spite) and then I hate it so much I end up scrapping it and starting again. Took me a long time to learn to tale a break when I feel the pinch.

This is where I'm at too. I find that I get so tired of one project but I want to keep working on something to keep the momentum going

Been thinking about this a lot lately. Do you think they genuinely don't know? Or they do know but they think "this time it'll be different, we know what we're doing"? I'm trying to rationalise how they could possibly think this whole thing is going to end well.

I mean... Chatting about tech investments and recognizing Palestine is all well and good but there's a big fucking fascist elephant in the room, lads.

Phil Graham @twigsays.bsky.social · Sep 18

Anyone else feel like we're now at the point where paranoia about complete societal collapse has become common sense?

We've joked about having apocalypse go-bags for years but yesterday I actually packed one...

It's always a dangerous time to move house with Halloween round the corner. We need to go to The Range to get a rug, but we daren't.

Phil Graham @twigsays.bsky.social · Sep 16

Finally getting around to watching Andor and oh look, I'm in love with Stellan Skarsgard... Again.

Phil Graham @twigsays.bsky.social · Sep 16

That's how we do it in the UK! Love it!

I don't know why it still surprises me that he keeps getting away with just making things up off the top of his head whenever someone puts a camera near him.

Phil Graham @twigsays.bsky.social · Sep 15

Why do I always open the fucking comments section? It's 11.30pm, I was ready to sleep like 5 minutes ago, now I'm just having imaginary arguments with a mad antivaxxer who lives in my head.

At this point I'm just mainlining anxiety like a speedball. Someone take my phone and bury it in the yard.

Phil Graham @twigsays.bsky.social · Sep 15

Gotta let people get this ridiculous flag thing out of their system or they're just going to bitch about being oppressed.

Heard someone in the pub the other night say "well, we're not allowed to fly the British flag anymore"

Like, mate they're everywhere and nobody's taking them down. Think.

I'm never a fan of good shows being prematurely cancelled, but I love to see the writers get enough notice to go HARD on the finale.

Thanks, Code Black. It's been a ride.

As far as I can tell, it's a bit like music theory so far. Stuff like energy transfer is pretty simple and intuitive the same way that chord structures and scales are if you play the piano, but the terminology and correct wording is the hard part.
