Gods, the mansion tax journo scramble is going to be so fucking undignified. Clammy boot-thirsty careerists thronged outside the door of the first breadline granny they can find in the Barbican, like the Monty Python gas cooker sketch.

Well, I have a bad cold, I slept terribly, I'm cranky, and my main work mission is "don't make [thing I'm furious about] worse".
Let's see how that goes then.
Good morning.

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.
Everyone, give

yes I don't really see how you can go "oh yikes these people have changed their political views incredibly quickly, mostly because of what Very Online people talk about on social media" and also think that people who went from never talking about gender to calling trans women predators are....normal
I don’t like subtweeting people I consider online friends, but there is a subset of people who are very worried about the ongoing radicalisation of our political elite but won’t ever acknowledge the echoes with the radicalisation of their colleagues on trans rights
And few who are sympathetic to us, some who are friendly with me on here, will ever stick their head above the parapet

This is beautiful.
People talk about trying not to put on weight at Christmas, when a Christmas tradition my friends and I share is weighing ourselves on the morning and evening of Christmas day to see what percentage of us is Christmas Dinner. (The goal is to become 10% Christmas Dinner, but the current record is 7%)

I started processing every 24th frame of The Santa Clause to detect any NSFW content (with the confidence level turned down to make it over-detect). It's... working?
I mean, I'll give you the tie.

i came across the saying "to follow like a Tantony pig" so I get curious and look it up, but Tantony isnt a place, it's a contraction of St Anthony who is the saint of swineherds, so the proverb means to follow someone like a pig following the hog messiah. alas this information will not pay my bills

From now on, when discussing the budget, please use “is this measure bigger than the cost to the exchequer of gen Z drinking less” as your metric for assessing whether something actually raises or costs a significant sum

In a new doctrinal note, Pope Leo and the Vatican sharply reject polygamy and growing Western polyamory, praising monogamy as an exclusive union between one man and one woman.

Having once implemented a customer service AI bot, I appreciate that every horrible interaction I have with someone else's is basically just karma I earned for my shitty, shitty life choices. I just hope the management assholes at ToxicCompany who insisted on it are getting a big old lick of it too.

Wow. I don’t think I’ve seen something more confidently and offensively incorrect in so few words since my uncle described me visiting my dad as “northern lad returns home”

I shouldn’t create Jira tickets when I’m ill and cranky. Just had to delete the phrase “I do not give a flying fuck how we implement this so long as a fairly normal human can actually understand how to use it for once” as being possibly a smidge piquant.

Normally when I repost something and say that it’s fascinating just how different a set of foundational priors we can have as humans, I’m snarking at someone’s deranged politics, but it’s nice for utter incomprehension to be joyful sometimes.
During the after party of a little fridge rave in Brixton, people in the kitchen decided to put eggs into the holes of my ripped jeans while I was off my nut. I then had a job interview and wore the same jeans - the boss' dog licked my legs for 20 minutes and I got the job.
