X is becoming even more unusable with all of the AI image slop on the site.

I am literally just keeping it so that I can ensure that someone doesn’t use my username once I go.

If I had a quid for every time an Australian shock jock ended up being suspended for an over interest in the personal lives of royals, I’d have 2 quid. Not a lot, but continental.

The reason you don’t see this (much) anymore is all the White European descendant American men who were kidnapping women and girl Hitchhikers in the 1970s and 1980s.

Whilst, essentially, I don’t like the dumbing down and over saturation that the internet is doing to reading for people.

I actually support TikTok encouraging people to read actual books.

FFS. These wet wipes complain about LGBTQ+ people entering their spaces, etc. Creating a need for LGBTQ+ Primary Care dedication. Then complain annoy LGBTQ+ people having Primary Care dedication.

Make no mistake. They just want LGBTQ+ people dead.

I say this as a subscriber to both Apple Music and Spotify. Nobody is choosing their streaming platform based on the graphics of the album.

I’m normally against most of what Elon Musk plans or says. But, I’m in complete agreement with him jettisoning billionaires into space.

The idea of β€œUK Country Music” is just terrible.

I’d rather be a loser than chasing the acceptance of a paedophile

'If you're not in the Epstein files, it just means you were a bit of a loser,' claims Andrew's ex-girlfriend Lady Victoria Hervey | LBC The ex-girlfriend of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has defended her former flame by saying anyone

Lady Victoria Hervey thinks you’re a loser if you didn’t associate with a convicted child sex trafficker.

Okay. My argument about whether someone was a Russian asset in this context is that it really doesn’t matter. You can’t blame Russia for convincing someone to become a paedophile.

He (and anybody associated with him) did that all by themselves.

Can somebody with links to Elon Musk ask him why he was looking to have a wild party on an island owned by a guy who was found guilty of sex trafficking of a minor under the age of 18?

Can they also ask him if he is therefore a reliable narrator for the protection of children?

In awful accounts like the one screenshot, they never post the article - just the misleading headline. Once reading the article it’s clear that the β€œred flags” in the child were indicators that the child was being abused. Not an attempt to excuse the adults behaviour.

Tbf. I prefer breaking them up. But, I don’t go and break them all up in case someone wants a whole one.

I think ending a friendship on this matter is fair

Here were a mixture of my guesses, and where I didn’t have a clue - popular opinion on who each #TheMaskedSingerUK contestant is.

The wife is away for the weekend. It means I can put on my records that I want to listen to for once.

30 years ago they’d have made the same comment about Irish people.
