Ha ha ha. I think I find Hampshire Game so funny because it's only 100m or so from Hampshire which somehow amplifiies that it is not in Hampshire.

Wouldn't be surprised. A lot of poaching around those parts these days.

Today in badly named things… Hampshire Game that is actually in Wiltshire

A map showing the borders of the UK county of Hampshire that shows a wholesaler called Hampshire Game not in Hampshire but in the neighbouring county of Wiltshire

I’m in my 40s and went to secondary school with a Verity who claimed she’d never farted.

I liked Triangle of Sadness but from your live blogging of this I really don’t think I’ll like Digger…

“I’m so bored I’m going to poison myself” is pure toddler behaviour. Cats are toddlers.

It’s been raining all day, and the cat is so bored he has “helped” with all the chores and has now been helping himself to the cheese and tomato in a sandwich that was briefly left unattended… He has IBS, this could get interesting.

It’s also full of tedious mansplainers, contrarians, and AI worshippers.

Polly Pallister-Wilkins @pollypw.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

If that’s the case then you start with the moral objection to all executions in totality, not with an objection to the vibes being off with public executions.

I hate it. I belatedly joined last year because I thought I must be missing out and it’s just Facebook for people who take themselves too seriously.

Polly Pallister-Wilkins @pollypw.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

If your only problem with this execution is that it’s public… well, then your problem is not with state violence, your problem is with the aesthetics and your politics is based on vibes not ethics.

Polly Pallister-Wilkins @pollypw.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

It would be much easier to prevent fascists using state executions for their fascist purposes if you didn’t have state executions in the first place.

2110

Polly Pallister-Wilkins @pollypw.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Yeah I saw that, and I get that fascism is vibes, but I just can’t get behind this sudden oh no this is execution is awful when the US has been executing people my entire life without this outrage.

Polly Pallister-Wilkins @pollypw.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

We must keep executions private and as sanitised as possible so that we can pretend we don’t have a bloodlust.

Polly Pallister-Wilkins @pollypw.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Maybe I’m just too European but the public aspect of an execution is not really the main problem with it.

Six weeks into term and I’m waiting for the virus I feel like I’ve been fighting for weeks now to either properly kick-in or kindly fuck off. Bored now.

Exactly. They *think* everyone who works at a university is a lanyard wearer but that’s because they have a) a narrow view of who works at universities who in reality employ every type of worker and b) don’t realise nearly everyone wears a lanyard at work regardless of their job.

For decades now, many have closed their eyes on the mainstream authoritarian turn in the name of security and antiterrorism because they felt they wouldn't be targets Well, as was always obvious and well researched, violence first unleashed on minoritised folk devils has come home to roost

Fantastic! I’m now imagining that cow and that girl entering a rodeo and people being utterly baffled when it just calmly trots out of the stall and pootles around the ring with her sitting safely on its back until the bell rings.

Do you think they tried with other animals like cows?

To act in the public interest here would mean having to forego the commitment to ‘balance’.

You can also use ground cinnamon if you don’t have a stick. I’m using ground today.

Sorry for the typos *suçuk but not butter. Also it’s sliced suçuk, you can make the pieces as chunky or thin as you like depending what you fancy. It’s also good with just good old rookworst.

Polly Pallister-Wilkins @pollypw.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Only from my homemade cookbook… This one is without the suçuk butter I pre-fry that on the pan, remove it and then start on the beans recipe, returning the suçuk to the mix once the beans and tomatoes have reduced but before I add the lemon juice and whatnot.

Not a nice evening in Den Haag for Step Vaessen and other correspondents to be outside the ICC filing their reports on US sanctions.

God Marco Rubio has such a punchable face. Meanwhile the world really needs an alternative banking system that is not reliant on the US. Let's freeze *them* out over these threats to the ICC.
