The Bluestocking 388: Traitors and Goons through the medium of snails

They suspect all right, but they are wary of belling the cat.

Celebrity Traitors proving once again how easy it is for powerful white men to hide in plain sight.

At this stage Jonathan could be wearing an โ€œI am a Traitorโ€™ t-shirt, walk around whistling Murder on the Dancefloor and vote for himself at the roundtable and still no one would suspect a thing

Oh, theyโ€™re doing the โ€œitโ€™s a cultโ€ thing, now.

Should we create a bingo card?

The true essence of modern capitalism is paying extra for a โ€˜priorityโ€™ service that takes even longer than the regular service

With the week โ€˜Princeโ€™ Andrewโ€™s been having, itโ€™s increasingly likely that ITV will snap him up for the next series of Iโ€™m a Celebrity

When did everybody become so stupid? | shots Magazine As the UK becomes an idiocracy, with anti-immigration rhetoric gaining traction and AI-generated news being treated as real, our culture editor Amy Kean wonders, ahead of her talk at this year's shots...

The reason most pitches are lost isnโ€™t because the team were bad, but because they listened submissively to the loudest, most confident person in the room

Iโ€™ve studied people long enough to know that sometimes itโ€™s not โ€œimposter syndrome.โ€

Sometimes youโ€™re just not as good as you think you should be, and the volume of praise you received as a kid outweighs your capacity to improve.

According to ancient myth, every time you sneeze itโ€™s a demon leaving your body.

Which is why people who sneeze two, or three, or four times in a row are actually more evil than the rest of us.

Thereโ€™s more demonic energy inside of them to expunge

All future parents should be forced to take an exam before they have kids to prove theyโ€™re capable of raising a human being.

The reason this doesnโ€™t exist is because most people would fail

If this is a trial run to see if women can go and live on another planet while men get some therapy, then I support it

You know whatโ€™s sad?

A few years ago on April fools day all these brands were out there going โ€œwoo hoo hereโ€™s a silly prank letโ€™s have some fun!โ€ and everyone on the internet was like โ€œ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿคฎ ๐Ÿคฎugh how cringeโ€ and now hardly anyone does anything.

Be creative. Be cringe. DO PRANKS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

When work associates ask me for a massive favour and then say "I'll buy you lunch to say thank you" - thus punishing me twice

I know so many friends who use ChatGPT as a therapist or at the very least a shoulder to cry on.

People are so lacking in real community these days and so desperate to never be seen as a burden to others that they turn to AI in times of need instead
