Give that in Greek “stupid” is Ηλίθιος (elethios - ish) maybe for some "governments" we could mention, it might be useful to call them an "elethiocracy". It's not a word I can find in a dictionary, more’s the pity, but I kind of like it.

Apparently I am on several block lists as a “MAGA” twat. Which just goes to show how hilariously bad this shit is if anyone has spent more than an instant of Planck time ever looking at my timeline.

And one called “Sociopaths”, which is fair enough.

We should have “which shitty mod blocklist are you on?” badges.

I know it’s not the major issue here, but the thing that annoys me about all the fash fuckheads in the US banging on about “antifa” is that weird habit of putting the stress on the second syllable of a strange word. It makes it sound like they’re after a Mexican drug cartel leader. Deranged.

"I've got a little list ..."

Because the word “occasion” is important there. There was reason to do it, some reason beyond the everyday. And that made it significant. I remember it happening very rarely at school, but when it did it wasn’t “background”

I often think about my great-aunt, who worked in a munitions factory. She needed to take a day off for family reasons, so swapped a shift with a workmate. That was why she wasn’t waiting for the train in Middlesbrough station the morning it got bombed. And this sort of stuff was … quotidian

Your grandad could even have met mine, because he was deployed there too. My other grandad managed to survive sitting in a bomber’s rear gun turret before coming back to the foundry after the war.
