I am British and grumpy. Tories, Brexit and most other things make me grumpy. I am a ridiculous blue rectangle in a silly green hat and I demand that you take me seriously!

I should have a pinned skeet so that people will take me seriously. That's how this works, right?

It's a bit disappointing that Donald Trump has hogged the limelight for the FIFA Prizes. I haven't even heard who won the FIFA Prize for Physics although I understand that the FIFA Prize for Chemistry was awarded to Juan Orlando Hernandez.

Just had another go at age verification. Apparently they weren't sure if it was a real face. (Yeah, like I'd be stupid enough to use my real face?) I think the silly green hat might have confused it.
My contempt for these imbeciles knows no bounds. It bounces back off the sun every 16 minutes.

I noticed that the BBC reported that Elon Musk was big mad about Twitter getting fined by the EU. The interesting thing is that they never reported that the EU had fined Twitter in the first place. For the BBC, the story was not the story. The bootless kvetching afterwards was the story.

An openly Nazi government that wishes the Axis powers had won World War II:
In its US national security strategy memo, the Trump administration claimed Europe is facing the “stark prospect of civilizational erasure.”
It said it will support “patriotic” far-right parties across Europe to prevent a future in which “certain NATO members will become majority non-European.”

I'm sure that all British newsagents pull that face when the daily shitrags are delivered and they have to sell them as if they were legitimate publications. Nobody should have to face that much bullshit first thing in the morning. As far as I can tell, this poor guy has Daily Telegraph Face.

I didn't know that Lissitzky made a chair. Unlike some other art chairs, this one looks like it might actually be good to sit in.

It is becoming increasingly clear that UK politics is fake. "Labour", Tory and Reform are clearly all front organisations for the exact same fascist oligarchs. It needs to be destroyed. England can start again with the Lib Dems and the Greens. The rest of the UK has its own parties anyway.

This is blatantly dehumanising Nazi talk from the person who is meant to uphold "equalities" in the UK. Trans people are not robots, not demons, not alien monsters. Their blood, their bones and their lives are as human, as uniquely valuable and, yes, as fucking "biological" as anybody else's!
