All piped / broadcast ‘popular’ music heard everywhere public today is compressing people’s brains to pancakes with its one safe, pedestrian chord progression.

Tax drivers who don’t acknowledge you when you stop your car to let them pass first. Per I’m not sure how to measure it.
Tax people using phone speakers in public. Per decibel.

Major iPhone gripe: you can’t highlight more than one screen’s worth of text in order to copy. You get to the end of the screen and you can’t keep scrolling to capture more text. What you can do is apply the specific, limited shape of text you’ve highlighted to a different, irrelevant bit of text. 😖

Ooooh! ‘…a voluntary agreement to begin discussions on a roadmap to an eventual phase-out of fossil fuels…’

So there’s a seemingly willing consensus to start talking about a concept of a plan at some point, probably.

That’s alright then.

Israel is still killing Palestinians in Gaza.

The U.S. and Israel, approved by the UN, are going to colonize Gaza.

Palestinians are still being denied basic humanitarian aid.

The genocide in Gaza has not ended.

Meetings at G20, “condemnation”, “we stand with Ukraine”..

Not enough. When civilians are being slaughtered. Not enough is being done.

Well!

Certainly fuck the traitor trump, bending over as much as he can to take putin’s putrid girth right up to its hilt, not even inviting Zelenskyy to the party.

Fuck vance, the slimy little turd.

America should not be Mini-Russia.

Friday dinner with Stewart Lee. Hope you're eating something that can be pushed aside until later.

"Just as the Environment Agency allowed the Oxfordshire field to fill with filth, so compliant sensation-seeking media has normalised the filth of Farage for years."

Look, for fuck’s sake, humans have been migrating continuously for our entire existence.

Every single human in the world is the product of migration.

It’s what humans do. There is nothing *more* human.

That’s never going to change.

Just grow up, get the fuck over it and plan accordingly.

Without asylum:

Marks and Spencer wouldn't exist

Queen would have been without a front man

The other queen wouldn't have had a husband

Judith Kerr would never have written The Tiger Who Came to Tea

And thousands of less famous people wouldn't have been teachers, politicians, neighbours, etc
