fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 02/10/2026In total fairness, Sue Ellen is not *just* racist. 010
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Crikey, @gregjenner.bsky.social liked one of my comments! I now feel a deep and abiding parasocial connection. Quick, let's park outside his house. 110
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I hate to sound confrontational, but I don't think those pricks' concerns are actually legitimate. 010
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Saw the Odyssey. Was left a bit flat. It's okay, but they cut Nono out of it. 000
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 23/07/2026In terms of intranominal tmesis, "Jesus *Fucking* Christ" is hard to beat in terms of pure invective. In other news, we have a new secretary of state for defence. 000
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Okay. Only one football post and it's a general observation: since neither attacking nor defending is perfect, but only one side gets to do each of those at one time, and the consequences of fucking up are not symmetrical, I don't think it ever makes any sense to not keep attacking. 100
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Where are the hundreds of QT appearances that @countbinface.bsky.social is owed? 000
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 08/07/2026According to Arsene Wenger in a clickbait headline, "only one team can stop France from winning the World Cup." Well, duh, obviously: that's exactly how knockout tournaments work. 010
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 11/06/2026How do you explain VCRs to modern kids? "They were like a streaming service but they had skippable ads." 000
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 20/05/2026"Labour must be bolder or it will lose," says the man who won't trigger the leadership contest he so desperately craves. 110
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 19/05/2026Zoning in late, but it's a travesty that "the 100 best novels of all time" doesn't include the novelisation of Hawk the Slayer. 000
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 12/04/2026I initially misread this as "Pam Ayres" and it shook my world to its foundations. 100
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 12/03/2026Watched: Dracula (should be: Dreckula): a love tale. It has a colon in the title, which is all you need to know. Having said that, if the Muppets made a musical version I'd watch the shit out of it. 110
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 27/02/2026One of the things most striking about Mick Lynch is that he knows what he believes and articulates it well. Listening to him talk feels noticeably less stressful than listening to someone repeating what they're pretending to believe. 010
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 13/12/2025Robin Ince just delivered a lesson in integrity for Christmas. What a lovely human being. 030
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 09/12/2025R4 just now: "this decision will cause untold worry and should certainly be reexamined by the courts." The irony is fucking staggering; and the spin on the tribunal conclusions was appalling. 000
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 29/11/2025It's appalling that "don't be an arsehole" is a newsworthy stance. 030
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 18/11/2025On feeding AI: "Mr Pichai said action was needed, including in the UK, to develop new sources of energy and scale up energy infrastructure." We should probably earmark some of Google's corporate tax take to fund that, then. 000
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 13/11/2025I can't remember a time in my life when the English flag hasn't been an icon for the NF, the BNP, or whatever current rebrand the racist hooligans are organising under. It's bullying, not patriotism. 031
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 11/09/2025I call myself a mathematician but my better half had to explain the geometry in Alt-J's "Tessellate". I did get the TGTBATU reference FWIW. 000
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 30/08/2025When I was growing up, the flag was a symbol of the NF: nasty, stupid, brutish thugs. Then for a brief, glorious moment, it was associated with the Spice Girls. Now it's just back with the twats. How fucking depressing. 020
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 18/08/2025Presumably "Pleistocene Action" is next, etc. etc. 020
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 24/07/2025Oh no, no adult content or direct messaging. Okay, so we have an infantalising and authoritarian government; but honestly in this case it seems like no loss. 000
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 06/07/2025Trying to work out if this is more or less reprehensible than shouting "nonsense" at Jack Straw. 000
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 02/06/2025It's hard to picture anyone packing more effective communication into just two words. 000
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 20/05/2025There aren't enough quotes in the internet to sufficiently surround "justified". What an abysmal* way to bully people for nonconformity. (* "Abysmal" here is a value judgement. If you're *actually* a bully then what the EHRC reckons seems hugely effective.) 120
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 16/05/2025I see a photo of "Christian Concern" protesters standing by a sign that reads "the road to hell is paved with good intentions". I'm not a fan of legislating by aphorism; however I'm willing to admit that the intentions of these people may be good. 100
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 10/05/2025It's amazing to think that the end of the dinosaurs is closer to the end of Liz Truss' disastrous premiership than it it to today. 200
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 03/05/2025I'm not an expert, but it looks like Trump's following on from Canada by securing an election in Australia as well. 000
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 01/05/2025That the electoral reform act wasn't undone prior to these mayoral elections is a real pity. There's something viscerally appealing about any kind of ranked choice being better able to reflect "please god not any of these awful chancers" than FPTP. 010
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 26/01/2025There's too much bile and anger in the world already. It doesn't need me watching"prime factor". 010
fcntl.bsky.social @fcntl.bsky.social · 13/01/2025I think I finally understand comonads. So there's that. 000
