my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

A toss between a Camino Hospitalera waking us all up at 0600 with George Michael’s “Jesus to a Child” and a guy I was at school with mistaking tiger balm for aftershave one morning on a school trip.
Marion snored and shouted out. What or who was the cause of your most memorably interrupted sleep on holiday?

I can't sleep because Marion not only snores she keeps on shouting out in her sleep and I wake up wondering where the hell I am.

The replies to this post, even on here, even moreso on X, are so depressing to me. We live in a world where cities have never been safer and a minority of people are denying themselves a lot of delightful experiences because they’ve gone mad online.

Fascism won’t let you just think red squirrels are cute. It corrupts and politicises everything.
If Jenrick really is getting into bed with those people then someone needs to ask the theologian with the red squirrel as to why they have chosen that avatar.

Ea-nāṣir is the recipient of the world’s oldest complaint letter. He’s reportedly the worst businessman of the 18th century, a mediocre conman whose actions should have him put out of business. Is this fair?

It’s counterintuitive when you say this is an era of more deep and calculated illiberal repression and forceful backsliding than it was under the Tories, but it is: the Sensibles will “end the culture war” alright, by unifying with the right and far right to stamp upon the troublesome and different.

Reminded of a friend who, blanking on a confirmation name, opted in the heat of the moment for the name of the first family member he saw in the congregation.
This is how said friend ended up with initials that are also used as an acronym for certain sexual acts.

There are a variety of reasons why I wouldn't want to become Pope, even if I were a Roman Catholic bloke, but I have to admit that "having to choose a name that everyone will regard as hugely significant and read things into, under extreme time pressure" is right up there.

A fringe group of bigoted weirdos have dragged British media, government, and law into their hateful obsession with trans people. Grim, depressing, and dangerous. Everyone with power in the UK who's played along should be ashamed of themselves.
