And that goes for the queer people who also try to do the same thing. They will never accept us they will never like us, so why on earth even try to get them to? The best we can hope is to prevent them from actually making our lives worse

These are people who reject other white people for being the wrong kind of white. I cannot fathom why anyone who isn't white would think they would be acceptable to them. Or why they'd *want* to be.

I'm doing really full on exploring this Baldur's Gate playthrough and yet I'm still skipping most of the Temple Of Shar because it's weirdly tedious. But I also still cannot stand Shart so don't give a toss about her personal quest either.

Don't worry, there is #CelebrityTraitors Claud fashion coming, I just can't be bothered with the scanning and tidying up rigmarole tonight so you'll just have to wait till tomorrow for the full versions.

People don't get called dishy nearly enough either.

Don't get me wrong, I detest Blair and wish he'd crawl into a hole and die, but as "ex-PM met terrible person" stories go this is hardly up there with Thatcher actively preventing Saville getting investigated now is it?

Look, I know a lot of powerful, thoroughly awful people are caught up in the Epstein scandal, but "Tony Blair met him for half an hour when he was PM but never met him again" is a complete non-story even by the standard of the usual political non-stories.

This is very true.

Gus is still working out if he's up for sitting on laps but he is ok with sitting between my knees as long as I dont move at all.

Am I right in thinking the new EES border procedure for travelling in and out of Schengen is basically exactly the same as they've had in places like Canada for ages? Just scan your passport and fingerprint on a machine and go straight through if you don't have anything to declare?

Has the Orange Shitgibbon lost his shit about how many alleged wars he's stopped and why it's clearly illegal that he didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize and that he's going to invade Norway in response?

To be fair that's also the PR for Big Brother and that gets pretty good ratings.

People being surprised that #CelebrityTraitors ended on a cliffhanger presumably haven't watched a single episode of the regular series.

Oh, hang on, is it only two episodes a week rather than three?

Bevis Musson @bevismusson.bsky.social · 1d

Blimey, that was quite an early cut in the Round Table. That'll be something a bit dramatic tomorrow then #CelebrityTraitors

Yay! #CelebrityTraitors starting strong on the terrible name spelling! Even if I think it was deliberate

There's a part of me that would love to see how ##CelebrityTraitors is made and designed. There's clearly very clever design around the size of the table and what Claud wears and choosing how long the Round Table works but I also kind of don't want to know how it's carefully manipulated.

There's always something hot about Mark Bonnar but especially so in his kilt and suit #CelebrityTraitors

Both the Joes are absolute TV gold #CelebrityTraitors

Alan is so obvious but his saving grace is that he seems to *always* like that and Kate is being weirdly suspicious in a way that means I'd totally suspect her too. #CelebrityTraitors

Bevis Musson @bevismusson.bsky.social · 1d

I don't think Alan really had any choice about how he handled that. But the whole existing relationships between some of them changes how the Traitors are going to approach a task link that #CelebrityTraitors

Apparently not knowing the words doesn't matter on #DragRaceUK anymore. This is *not* shaping up to be a great series if the first three episodes are anything to go by.

Bevis Musson @bevismusson.bsky.social · 1d

The judging this week is the most blatant "we don't care about these queens so we'll justify them being bottom to save someone else" choice we've ever had on #DragRaceUK. But it's also a crap lip sync and not knowing the words for a second time is shockingly bad.

Sally and Sellexa should be lip syncing with Chai low. It feels like the placements have been done more on the runway than on the girl group performance and I don't understand it at all #DragRaceUK

Bevis Musson @bevismusson.bsky.social · 1d

Fully thought the safe girls were the top and bottom. Sellexa was absolutely 100% the worst and Viola and Elle were both good but neither anything close to best or worst. #DragRaceUK
