It's a tough call to decide whether it's the cruelty, the stupidity or the tastelessness that is the most offensive in the post.
I've seen bands that are really really loud - Black Sabbath, Motorhead, ELP but nothing compared to a 5 year old's birthday party in a soft play centre.
My ears are still ringing.
On the plus side, it'll be easier to get planning permission for a new house if it's made from wattle and daub.

It's been a while since waking up to good political news.
Well done Canada. Well done Mark Carney.

Crazy how Katy Perry and Lauren Sanchez going to "space" for 10 minutes is supposed to "inspire women", but the women who already worked at NASA are *checks notes* getting fired and getting their bios removed from the site.

Ex-Reform MP Rupert Lowe to sue Nigel Farage for defamation
Huge congratulations to @plymuni.bsky.social’s Prof Richard Thompson for being named as one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people this year in the Innovators category 👏👏. time.com/collections/...
There's exactly four years until Asteroid 99942 Apophis makes a very very close approach to Earth. Originally feared it would impact here, will be a predicted naked eye object over the UK and Europe. Can't wait to observe it. 🔭 🧪
Now that’s a split-screen. ⛳️

Wikler: Musk deleted that tweet because he knows that that tweet was a crime, and it's still a crime in Wisconsin law. It is plain as day. You cannot promise something of value in order to induce someone to vote or refrain from voting. This is Wisconsin statute, and it's a felony to cross that line.
I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.
The Tories bled the NHS dry for 14 years, leaving it on its knees. Now, Labour’s putting £20 billion back in, and these crooks have the nerve to moan about taxes. Stride won’t say if he’d slash NHS funding - because we all know the Tories would gut it the first chance they get. #ukpolitics
I wish the 100s of working class students from Teesside I taught had the same confidence to express opinions on subjects they understand as the privileged right wing gobshites, on both sides of the Atlantic, on subjects they don't.
what’s up Nigel?
looks like our members have finally clocked we’re grifting charlatans
ah well let’s rinse them more while we can
good idea Ticey
Have Rupert Lowe and Nigel Farage settled their argument about who'll make the best Pope?
It's as likely to happen as one of them becoming PM.
Jeremy Clarkson whinging about removal of a tax scam. Alexander Armstrong whinging about paying slightly more for entrenching privilege.
Well done, Labour.
Looking forward to Alexander Armstrong narrating the Entitled Public School Class Badge of Hey Duggee.
One day he’s telling us that tariffs are amazing because they will bring lots of new jobs to the US and raise so much money we won’t have to pay income tax, then the next day he’s telling us we aren’t doing them because people were nice to him on the phone.
'Struggling to adapt': Trump-supporting CEOs grapple with 'a lot of costs and a lot of chaos'
From Jeremy Clarkson to Alexander Armstrong it's amazing how readily the public school educated feel sorry for themselves.
As my late mum used to say "they should count their blessings"
