History teaches us that the woke are really annoying and the fascists commit genocide.

Getting really cross with myself at the airport for putting my book right at the bottom of my hand luggage.

Just completed a long distance road trip by EV in these conditions. It was *checks notes* so stressful and *checks notes again* really dangerous.

Using the heated seats, mirrors & windows kept us warm and everything clear without using much power, and the car cruised the 200 miles easily.

Men on their own in cars:

I couldn’t give a fuck if you’re in front of me or behind me. If you’re going slower than me then either speed up or let me overtake.

Either is fine. I don’t mind.

Just don’t drive like an entitled prick who thinks being overtaken means losing Man Points.

Burning electric vehicles are a great litmus of a person’s susceptibility to misinformation.

Internal combustion cars are 80 times more likely to catch fire, but when an EV catches fire the images go viral and it ends up in the news.

So if you believe EVs are more likely to burn… 🤨

Sadiq Khan, who won his mayoralty again in 2024, is being ‘rewarded for failure’, while an identical honour for Andy Street, who literally lost his, is not…

What could possibly explain this glaring anomaly?
this kind of obviously biased headline is so frustrating when MSM is fighting for credibility

1) New Year’s Honours list is nominated by public not by political leaders

2) Khan has won three elections so the average Londoner clearly doesn’t think he’s a failure

Does anyone have an Apple Shortcut that turns on Do Not Disturb when I press play on a podcast?

Today I learned that the USA won the race to the Moon because they nationalised their space program into one state owned organisation while the USSR lost because they had several organisations competing against each other.

The 1/3 or so of the electorate who chose not to vote (they could be their own party) are just as responsible for what's coming as the people who voted for him.

Inaction was an action.

Using Swipe to Type with AI is like playing Family Fortunes (Family Feud if you’re an American.)

“I want my next word to be ‘interesting’ please.”

“Well, we asked 100 people and they said that the next word should be ‘ignorant,’ so that’s what you’re getting.”

Perhaps the people complaining about liberal echo chambers should take a look at the top 20 responses to every single tweet on Twitter and let us know what an echo chamber looks like.
