Thanks for the follow, that's very nice of you.

Generally the way I do things is, if you engage me in conversation, and it goes ok, I'll usually follow back.

But you don't have to either, if you just want to read and have a chuckle, that's fine too. I'm highly introverted, I get it.

It always makes me laugh.

Speak to religious people about genocide, murder of children, rape or torture.

They will say,

“God didn’t do anything because of free will.”

Talk about mansions, cars and billions and suddenly

“God blessed them.”

"The growth of AI has been called the “savior” of the gas industry. In Virginia alone, the data center capital of the world, a new state report found that AI demand could add a new 1.5 gigawatt gas plant every two years for 15 consecutive years"

AI is guzzling gas
Big Tech is paying for gas plants and pipelines to directly power data centers, threatening global climate goals.

Jas sits and watches me eat my tea, in the hopes of getting bits of it.

I don't mind that, but does she have to drop a hot one as well?

I can't find my thongs.

I took them off last night, but now they're gone.

What's funny is I found three left ones.

This weird illness seems to be, very slowly, leaving me.

But at the moment I have a horrendously sore throat, I lost a lot of sleep because of it.

Witnessed a real world case of 'what people actually buy' this morning. Went to Woollies at opening, the place was in a blackout from yesterday's storm but they were running off generators. It was interesting to see the things they put out first for customers (1/n)

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

Today I learned that stalking a 17 year old girl, writing up a 400 page 'dossier' about her, falsely reporting her to the police and smashing her phone does not constitute 'harassment'.

One wonders what *would*.

Girlfriend sent me to get my back waxed before a family holiday, and it was only an extra £15 to get my nether regions done as well, so I thought I might as well. What she neglected to tell me was that the salon was run by her cousin who's seen everything.
