I think people should cut them some slack. It takes a while to change out of your balaclava and hoodie and then back into uniform.

Kent police said 'no arrests were made' of the people who blocked a port and roads. There's your two-tier policing, folks www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cm...

Dolly broke me in early to her raucous self deprecating sense of humor when we began steel magnolias rehearsals  i asked her - how long does it take to do a hair do like yours? Dolly - no idea, i’m never there when they do it! i started taking Dolly-isms notes on the back of my script after that

Punched and Kik-ed its way through my front door earlier. Darkly funny, wonderfully unsettling stories (and fabulously illustrated too.) Well, what else would you expect from @kiklodge.bsky.social? Get your hot copy from @stanchion.bsky.social !

Happy publication day to @kiklodge.bsky.social!! "Enter a world of desperately funny, offbeat & often emotionally isolated characters, like a woman with a penchant for BDSM having a heart-to-heart with Maria Von Trapp in the waiting room at the gynaecologist's office" - @megpokrass.bsky.social

Full of despair today. Massive lay offs in social sciences and humanities across the country, Burnham puts out a video saying 'AI can write an essay', and my university is busy integrating co-pilot into all staff and student computers. We are being told we're defunct and there's no resistance.

I was in a band in Oxford in the late 80s (No, not THAT one) and we used to rent our amps from a shop called 722027, named after their phone number. Even the bass player could remember it.
