Continuing to refer to our cat when she’s trying to work out whether to sit on our lap or not as being prelapsarian, and there’s nothing you can do about it

Just a continuous spectacle of politics as sport, rather than as a tangible thing that results in policy outcomes in the real world. Anyway, that’s enough party politics engagement from me for now

Seeing commentators saying that the Greens have run out of steam now that Labour have ditched Starmer and moved their pitch to the left - and I’m like, you realise that’s why people were voting Green? That’s the successful application of political pressure

Just seen a comment on an extremely silly wrestling match saying “this is proof why pro wrestling is only of two legitimate forms of art”, and y’know, I’m open to that conversation

Yeah, I think there barely being any cohesive vision for a better future - beyond making life worse for vulnerable populations, in the hope that it will improve things somehow - takes a big toll on the national psyche

Just to say that after getting into Mystery Wrestling lately, I’m now full aboard the Psycho Mike/Slam Ball bandwagon

Me: oh wow, this shop has everything my heart desires!

Spooky shopkeeper: yes, I will warn you... every item comes with a price.

Me: yes, I know how shops work

kittydesade

Spooky Shopkeeper: The price may be more than you expect to pay.

Me: Yes, I know how US taxes work, too.

Shopkeeper, increasingly exasperated: I'm trying to tell you that I'm evil and offering these wares with no regard for the harm they will do!

Me, also increasingly exasperated: I know what capitalism is too goddammit

While Messi is by no means perfect, it’s handy for Ronaldo to live up to all my expectations of who will have the longest legacy by doing this sort of thing

Man, after he stormed off after not starting a match the other day, I am enjoying Ronaldo being even more embarrassing than I could possibly imagine

He got his team to write a little speech for his manager that includes the line "I do not just want him a little, I want him very much" and he willingly told the whole world this.

Finally got to see Princess Diana in a wrestling match, delivering the People’s Princess Elbow. Hurray for Riot Cabaret
A wrestler dressed as Princess Diana, kinda flipping off the camera as they enter the ring

J.G. Ballard, lost in the supermarket
"It was ironic that the author of such unsettling work was a quiet and serious family man, who lived most of his adult life in a modest suburban house in Shepperton. His editor Malcom Edwards recalled how Ballard, on receiving the first payment for the film rights for Empire of the Sun, decided to splash out by visiting his local supermarket. After wandering the aisles for some time, he returned home with a tin of salmon." (Adam Sisman in the Guardian, 25.04.26)

That was always the case with ANTM as well, the best seasons were those where someone was prepared to blow everything up

Though having watched about ten seasons of America’s Next Top Model, I’m definitely on the lookout for the winner’s edit (usually someone who doesn’t get featured much early on)

Watching Traitors for the first time with the current celebrity series, and have to admit that while at first I thought it was a bit baggy and self-important, it’s got me invested within two episodes

Oh yeah, I don’t think it’s a coordinated campaign, I just think media and political discourse about a war on motorists normalises people doing things like this

I’m not saying it’s related to the sort of atmosphere you get when the Tories announce restrictions on cycling provision as a conference rallying cry, but I’m also not not saying that

I guess someone might have just accidentally dropped a bag of nails out of their pocket or out of the window of their car, but it seems unlikely to see it twice over the course of a few weeks

I’m used to navigating around broken glass on the roads near me in East London, but have noticed recently a couple of instances of piles of nails being left in bike lanes or where bikes would expect to be turning

Huh, seems like it was introduced in 2004 to allow anyone who was 16 at the end of WW2 to travel to D-Day anniversary events, and then just never extended. Use was 121,000 a year when introduced and 47,000 ten years later commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-bri...

Noticed that UK passport applications are free for people born on or before 2nd September 1929. I wonder how often that comes up

Pretty sure it was this 1988 Canadian 50s b-movie pastiche, which featured a surprising amount of spontaneous human combustion. I think we had a copy on Betamax
A busy video box cover of a movie called It Came From Somewhere Else, showing a mob with guns and UFOs and a lead character wearing 3D glasses, as was the style at the time

Enjoyed at least at least two wrestlers last night enacting this image, one of whom was literally dressed as a skeleton
