Went to Critical Mass last night and my suspicions should have been raised about the vibes when a guy with a mullet sitting in a cargo bike hold called me a "silly cunt" for not running a red light on Blackfriars Bridge and it was like mate, you're the one sitting where a Dutch child should be

I do usually love doing the armchair thing of being like "This is stupid, here is the obvious way to fix it that none of you rubes thought of" online, that's what websites like this are for, but whenever I sit and think about how you Fix the BBC my head just fills with static

Obviously an enormous proponent for the breakup of the United Kingdom but we absolutely cannot have a Welsh one without NI and Scotland winning theirs first. Suspect that momentum is the only way "Yes" would win in Wales and I could not live with the embarrassment of the other two leaving without us

Your boyfriend’s got one of those visualisers that plugs into a record player. It shows a sort of dot-matrix waveform thing, he’s explaining. He might get a big “Now Playing” stand for LPs just to add a little cherry on top of the ugliest fucking setup you’ve ever seen

I love re-upping this: for decades the main library at UCLA had the generic name University Research Library because the person most responsible for getting it built was an English professor named Hugh G. Dick and the university refused to name it after him.
