To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman. Yes, that's the point. It's called consent. Welcome to human decency.

This is some Tolkien-level retconning for Avengers Doomsday, and I am absolutely here for it.

If I pitched a movie a few years ago about how the world was going to be completely trashed by a big fat dementia-stricken sexist racist pedo rapist grifter with orange skin and the stupidest combover of all time, I'm sure it would have been rejected as being too unbelievable. And yet here we are.

Hey Ed, calling out genocide does not make you an "activist musician". Also, genocide is not "complex". It's genocide. Grow some fkn balls man.

"Ever since man first left his cave and met a stranger with a different language and a new way of looking at things, the human race has had a dream: to kill him, so we don't have to learn his language or his new way of looking at things." Zapp Brannigan

"The increasingly pervasive deployment of the term “pervert glasses” is a decent start, but other perfectly good slurs remain unclaimed: Stalker Specs, Nonce Goggles, Depraviators" 😆 Excellent from @jonathanliew.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Did some work for a mate earlier this year at a 25% discount to, you know, help out a mate who was starting up a new business. Just found out that earlier this year his Dad had given him $2million to give him a leg up.

I've just been informed that joint, spliff and blunt are in fact not interchangeable terms. This is only mildly less surprising than my autism diagnosis at 53, and almost as hard to come to terms with.

This girl I used to waitress with in Austin, we moved to New York together in 2003 on a literal Greyhound bus. Shared a fifth floor walk-up studio that, when it rained, had more leaks in the ceiling than we had pots and pans. We used to get drunk and smoke off the fire escape and do “sad-offs.”

We all have to be one of two people now: The person who rips these fucking things off the face of anyone doing this, OR, the bystanders who 100% have the back of the person who rips the fucking things off the face. The aggressives and the passives must unite to make it unsafe to wear these.

One of the most infuriatingly difficult tasks in human existence is getting all your Windows software to consistently print or save PDFs as A4 size instead of bloody Letter. Like most infuriating things in human existence, this is the fault of Americans.
