As someone who doesn't do reality tv, and has no idea what The Traitors is, or cares, all the Traitors meme posts are completely lost on me. And I'm okay with that;)

Man, the automatic assumption of all drivers that others on the road are all assholes and put to harass really does suck. Just tried to let someone know they had a brake light out and was subjected to massive abuse for attempting to do so. When I explained they just grunt ‘oh’ and drive off. Lovely.

Well @gruntleigh.bsky.social, today I got to be an honorary Ogron! Blaster and all. Where is that pesky third doctor so I can shoot him? Also, where are the bananas??

Back in the uk! I chose September 11th to fly. On the 25th anniversary no less. What an absolute moron I am. Still, I made it and am now ensconced in a hotel by Hyde park for the next few days. Family time will commence and fun is mandatory. I don’t want to hear any excuses.

Who would you rather be stuck in a lift/elevator with for several hours? A Star Wars character, or a Star Trek character? I know which I would choose, and it'll be a member of StarFleet everytime. Happy birthday Star Trek. Keep boldly going. God knows we need that vision of the future, right now.

I have come to the conclusion that some Arizona/Nevada/New Mexico mobster has put out the word that @emophilips.bsky.social’s breathing privileges are used up there, because nothing else explains why he’s not visited here once in the past 2+ years?

Well, the word "devastating" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, unfortunately. To any normal person, yeah, it would be. But we are in the "Extreme Moron" timeline, where no, this won't be devastating to anyone who would actually do something about it. Just business as usual.

Still no understanding of why we need a TV series of Harry Potter? Where the movies not good enough? I mean, yes, Warner Brothers and money, I get that. But beyond them attempting to milk an IP (and push money it the Terfwomans coffers), is there any other reason we need this?

Went to see Styx in concert tonight, - birthday present for the wife. They certainly play well and sing extremely well for their age. Not much of a show but damn, they sound good. Come sail away had EVERYONE on their feet. Very much recommended. Now on to Chicago, on the double bill.

I think that Dolly Parton was, for a lot of people, an ambassador of the "good" values people think of about the South: kindness, hospitality, can-do spirit, sharp and witty and down to earth. I think for a segment of people, too, she was theantithesis of a lot of noxious masculine country stuff.

A saint like Dolly Parton dies. And a demon like Donald Trump lives. If there is a God, he doesn’t like us. 😢

OMG. Dolly Parton gone? That woman was just... everything that is best about humanity. I'm so sad. Was never a fan of her music per-se, but as a person, as a human, she was one of the very best we've ever had to offer. What a loss to humanity in general.

This mans massive personal insecurities about his own manhood means whenever he is challenged, he spins out and just goes on a Emo grievance driven rant, that would get him fired in any company in existence. And yet, he's president. MAGA voters genuinely are the most stupid people around.

FFS. There are some seriously despicable people working in ICE. They MUST be held accountable when we swap regimes. Do these people think there will be no accountability?

@freya.bsky.social just posted a really interesting set of questions about social media, which effectively boil down to "is social media of net benefit or detriment to society"? And that's a really interesting question. And I have lots of thoughts on it.

So here’s the thing. The entire project 2025 basis is to do things and ignore the courts until they grow some teeth and do something about the flagrant flaunting of their edicts. This is where the rubber meets the road. This is where warrants need to be written out.

Did a major amount of work on my little 10 Mins game last night. Left the nightly build to do its thing and this morning updated it on my iPhone, looking forward to playing it at the gym between sets. Forgot to re-enable the buttons that start the damn thing. *sigh* no one to blame but me.

This is the difference between a winner and a loser. “Yeah you wanna try? Go ahead and fucking try. I’m gonna kick your ass anyways, and if I lose, I’m coming back twice as hard. If you’re on my team, we’re gonna smoke em.” vs. “WAAAH WAAAAH WAAAAAH” <fifth place benchwarmer diarrhea noises>

The thing about all these analysis of RFk Jnr statements and refutes of what he said is beside the point. The reality is that he’s insane and spouts complete bollocks at every opportunity which means NOTHING said has any validity. There’s no point in dealing with specific lies when it’s ALL crap.

Man, I love my older sister. Half a bottle of wine to finish, a cigar and I just want to talk to my older sister back home. It’s weird how much love I have for family at this point in life, given we didn’t have this relationship growing up. Still, grateful for it now.

So Travis is a Good Guy, of which there aren’t that many. He’s the sort that will give you the shirt off his back if he thinks you need it. To see his place saved makes me reconsider the idea of a Supreme Being, frankly. He’s exactly the kind of guy who should be spared.
