I live in Scotland. I have a degree in history; please stop making me use it. No one cares about your diet. She/they

I'm not allowed to talk about why I'm really fucking annoyed right now because it might make someone who makes shitty decisions feel bad and their feelings are always more important than mine.

I got to the ghost-fucking episode of TNG today and it is so much worse than I remember. Ned's "Scottish" accent is definitely from the James Doohan School of Scottish Accents, and the character claiming to be from 1600s Glasgow has a very southern English accent.

i really can’t bring myself to care about AI anthropomorphism debates. “is AI thinking?” i don’t know. is a calculator calculating? questions for the philosophers. what’s important is that we put sam altman in prison.

I know that there have been a lot of devastating celebrity deaths of late, but I think I am ready to live in a world without the remaining Monty Python guys. I've heard enough from them. They can go.

I was talking about music that I listen to at a tattoo appointment once, and I mentioned, "Against my will, I have found myself liking some country music." Everyone acted shocked (all punk and metal types) until I said, "I mean, you can't hate Dolly Parton," and they all agreed immediately.

My dad used to claim that climate change was a hoax because people were "making a fortune" on renewable technology. As if there isn't an entire century old category of rich people called "oil barons."

Resisting the urge to post photos of all the fresh produce I'm eating because I don't live in the US and my country still has minimal food standards.

During my junior year, a senior did a triple homicide at a party over Easter break. Last time I checked, he's still in prison. I think it was in the same month as 2 fatal car accidents of kids we knew and Kurt Cobain's death, so we were all just zombies after that.

If you are English and can't understand Scottish accents, that's a fucking skill issue. I'm from one of the dumbest countries on earth and I've managed to work it out most of the time. Try being less thick.

People who think that young disabled people are using mobility aids to look cool or whatever have obviously never used a mobility aid. Carrying a cane around is a massive pain in the ass. No one is volunteering for it.

I saw the Simpsons episode "Sideshow Bob Roberts" today, and it was exquisitely painful to watch in 2026. How did everything get so fucking stupid?

Baffles me when I see people who don't know anything at all on quiz shows. Why did you ever think you'd be good at this? Is it Dunning-Kruger? Some kind of humiliation kink?

Seen some talk of unethical fiction, so here’s my take
Three panel comic titled Unethical Fiction: 
1. Made with AI
2. Printed on human skin
3. The author uses their profits to fund a hate group.

The stupidest thing I've lost because of my chronic illness is the ability to wear normal clothes. If I wear anything with an elastic waistband tight enough to not fall down, it triggers a gastroparesis flare. Pants, tights, leggings, skirts or whatever. The phrase "control top" makes me queasy.

I live near Edinburgh and I'm a bald she/they (androgenic alopecia from PMOS). Do I wear a head scarf and risk getting the shit beat out of me for looking Muslim or do I go full bald and get the shit beat out of me for being gender non-conforming? So many choices.

My father in law has been in and out of the hospital with recurring infections for the past 6 months. I have never told my side of the family when he's been sick. None of the UK side of the family are Christians. No one prays, but he still gets better and worse the same as anyone else. 🤔

If the people of Boston really want to repay the Tartan Army, you could petition the UK government to allow Scotland to have another independence referendum. International pressure certainly couldn't hurt.

Help I keep getting ads for a laser engraving machine called LaserPrick. "How did you engrave that?" "I have a LaserPrick." Now everyone thinks you're a minor background character on The Boys. Please, run your branding past just one 13 year old boy.

Didn't watch any of Eurovision, but not surprised to see the UK dead last again. It's hard to find good musical talent when you're limited to just the musicians who are okay with genocide.

I used to love Who Wants to be a Millionaire, but I can't watch it now that it's hosted by that diseased nazi scrotum, Jeremy Clarkson. Why hire the dumbest man on earth to host a show aimed at clever people? I don't get it.

My new tattoo itches so bad right now and it's just the outline and I still have to go back and get it coloured in. Can I just be put into a coma until it heals?

I actually can't believe that Farage and his party of xenophobic shitbags are running and polling so high and that the media are just treating it like it's normal. It's nightmarish to watch.

As an American who has lived in the UK for 20 years, I want you all to know that the British are massive hypocrites about American food. They will whine all day long about "cheese in a can" and baloney being gross. Meanwhile, they have canned hot dogs and burgers, and Primula.

90% of the online content around "I've never heard this British (or Scots) word in my life!" comes down to either, "I can't infer meaning of a new word from context," or, "I've never read a book." People just lack basic language skills.

Why are so many right wingers so obsessed with all women being forced to have children? They don't want those kids housed, fed or educated, so the Epstein files have me making some disturbing connections right now about why they want all those kids...
