Make it your goal in life to love something or someone as much as Fenriz loves Bathory.

Fenriz of Darkthrone writing “BATHORY” on a blackboard. The subtitle reads “Bathory…it’s beautiful just to write it.”

A woman called Chantal van Kruining is apparently breeding out the brachycephalic traits to give them better lives, which is a wonderful thing to do.

On the left, a brachycephalic French bulldog with its muzzle condensed into its face, causing myriad breathing and skin problems.

On the right, a French bulldog bred to have a more protruding muzzle, enabling it to breathe properly

If any of us had a family member who was having problems or not living up to the best that they could be, we’d all want to do whatever we could to help them improve, wouldn’t we? Same thing with countries.

A favourite quote of mine is from James Baldwin, and it applies to any country, not just his:

“I love America more than any other country in the world and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.”

Israel highlighting how many 100s of aid trucks they will now allow into Gaza is a tacit admission that they were using aid as a weapon of war, by the way. seems weird not to talk about this

Yeah, my mum got her dog off my cousin, and while she loved the bones of him he was a tragic example of inbreeding. Fell down the stairs twice, couldn’t breathe properly, eventually developed epilepsy and sadly had to be put to sleep because he was having constant seizures. Last one was 25 minutes.

Heads up, block this account.

On the face of it, they're just an account dedicated to posting images of women in video games. However, they turned up with a pro-ICE comment in the replies to a mutual's post.

They've also posted anti-trans stuff in replies to others.

Ah, happy 88th anniversary of the day Oswald Mosley tried to sell fascism to Liverpudlians – and someone concussed him with a brick

A man in a suit stands at a microphone which has been mounted on the roof of a van. There are loudspeakers at his feet, and a building behind him. He has an arm raised, and is flinching as projectiles are hurled at him, because he's a fucking Nazi

So, happy 362nd anniversary to this entry from the Diary of Samuel Pepys – who had gone to bed the three previous nights “in some pain”, “in great pain”, and “beginning to be troubled with wind as I used to be”

Diary of Samuel Pepys, 7 October 1663: I did keep my bed; and my pain continued on me mightily, that I keeped within all day in great pain, and could break no wind nor have any stool after my physic had done working. So in the evening I took coach and to Mr Hollyards, but he was not at home; and so home again. And whether the coach did me good or no I know not, but having a good fire in my chamber, I begun to break six or seven small and great farts; and so to bed and lay in good ease all night, and pissed pretty well in the morning, but no more wind came as it used to do plentifully, after it once begun, nor any inclination to stool.

Let’s make different political choices.

For decades now British people have been told to simply swallow austerity. They’ve been told that the NHS needs cuts, that libraries need closing and that child poverty can’t be tackled.

Greens say: Bullshit!
Join the Green Party today.

An American friend of mine was stunned that we don’t have them over here. She was like, “How do you find out what to take for your psoriasis?”

I said, “I ask my doctor.”

But then, we don’t sell shotguns at the supermarket here either. Different worlds.

I was mercifully unborn then, but 1970s comedy makes the whole decade seem like a ten year prison sentence. Imagine having to laugh at On the Buses, Are You Being Served? and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum.

Yet not sadistic like that Eden Lake bullshit, which I hated so much it actually stopped October 2022 dead in its tracks.

(though my hatred of that film was also tied up in how all the reviews said it was realistic, which… fuck off, no it’s not. Nasty little Daily Mail fantasy of a film)
