Waiting for one of these to call me a motherfucker, as per the internet.

My point was not about whether he himself would change, of course he won't, rather that people would be foolish to expect him to devote himself to running the country, and probably shouldn't trust him to do so.

I suppose those who think ol' frog face will be the next PM just assume he's going to give up his million quid side grifts and put the interests of the country first, right?

Yer da’s been decorating the zafira

POV: you are stuck in London traffic behind a 2008 Vauxhall minivan adorned with various right wing slogans including “RIP LONDON KHAN AND STARMER GAVE FCUKED YOU! HONK IF YOU HATE EM!” & “Starmer stop the boats”. The license place is “RIP BE” and there are pictures of a demonic looking Keir Starmer and Sadiq Khan adorning the bumper and rear window. England and Union Jack flags fly from the rear windows

Tell me that she's reading what she's saying out loud, thinking it through, then agreeing that it makes sense.

Tell me that, with a straight face.

You fucking can't.

Here's what I don't understand about Kemi Badenoch, right....

Everything. Fucking everything. How can anyone function with a brain so devoid of activity?

Mine doesn't get boggy but it does get algae / moss build up. It's fine 2/3 of the year though.

Chris @seismicshed.bsky.social · 1d

I'm a gardener for a living and my own house is almost exactly as the one you are describing. Depending on what is immediately outside the back door, concrete, slabs etc you will have to deal with moss and green algae that builds up over the winter. i have lawns and trees and veg beds that thrive.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

You can tell how rattled they are by him already.

I honestly think that a cover of Sunday afternoon by them would be awesome. It'd fit beautifully into their signature style. And the harmonies would be great.

I really cannot stress enough how little I care whether Keir Starmer regards my general or specific attitudes as un-British or not.

Apparently the country is finished, because of Labour. I'm no cheerleader for the current government but if you're determined to think that the country has been killed by 14 months of labour but 14 years of Tories was all fine and dandy, I'm close to egging your car.
