The RNLI is the closest you will ever get to actual Batman. When rescue is visibly, viscerally, obviously impossible; when the water is a smothering, thundering black wall and the wind is screaming straight from Hell; when you are absolutely going to die: someone’s hand pulls you out and you don’t.

At @davemercer.bsky.social's for my niece's birthday, realised the playlist from the wedding is being played and it's the portion I curated, very happy with my choices.

No you DON'T bloody recognise it, you can't even conceptualise it, clearly: recognition would involve the absolute opposite of the action taken by this government, bloody hell. Livid.

"Actually we went quite close to some real Bronze Age remains, but we avoided Dobby's grave," he said. ................ I have so much to say about this, and so little of it is repeatable on the internet.

Has any part of the He-Man universe explained the origin of Castle Grayskull, the most confusing good-guy home of all time, esp considering the structural nature of the bad guy?

Depends. For a xenomorph, probably something really f***ing mellow, you know? Something which is almost a lullaby with a baseline. And then I would quietly leave while the jazz bro chin scratchers argued about whether it was authentic and if anyone got eaten it would be them.

I think Meg White is a good drummer just by the standards of being a good drummer but I think she’s an exceptional drummer by the standards of having her extremely strange husband come home one day and say that they were starting a band and had to dress alike and also she’s his sister now

I was thinking about this when I went to the Resistance photography exhibition the other week. Don't tell me that people are too old to understand things; I refuse to believe that all the people in those photographs protesting for rights can't understand the needs of others.
