Yeah but International women's day is over now, we can forget women exist for another year!

Well no, we never do. But well done for Doing The Thing.

Owns very sharp knives but no-one ever actually sees them in use?

Attending a Maunday Thursday mass, with the washing of the feet, surrounded by very nice middle class Cathoics who do all their good deeds by direct debit.

Looking at this through Kohlberg's stage theory of moral development, kid has a right to his tooth money, and society is at fault for not making it easier for mythical beings to make cashless payments. Go for it.

And being a refugee. He spent time in small boats too, come to think of it.

Surely people want a closer look at your gorgeous wife rather than the bass?

What does "treading self-consciously" even mean here? This smacks of "I know I went along with the awful TERFs but you see, I personally didn't mean it in my heart so I am still one of the good guys", which, no.

Wow.
Just....
Wow.

A mid century looking light fitting made of copper and translucent perspex, seen in a hallway with white ceiling and teal walls.

A propos of nothing in particular, just because the horrors persist but so must we, this is my new (not new, 1970s danish) light fitting, picked up at auction, and newly installed.

It's a bit Einstürzende Neubaten Lite (complimentary), isn't it?

OMG this is very relevant to my interests.

Yesterday I had a bit of a honey tasting, as one of my beekeeping friends brought four different honeys back from holiday. The thyme one was incredible, really herbal!

My very English mother turned down a marriage proposal in India from a man who went on to marry her secret Canadian cousin mum didn't know about, and only met forty years later.

I mean, Stephen Hawking, quite notably, had disabilities. Guess he should have just not been a scientist?

This image is AI; the frontmost two photos are identical, and there are various other signs. We really need our politicians not to spread misinformation; please take this down, or add a note acknowledging that while the news story is true, the image is not.

"I didn't attack anyone personally, I just said that they could all be fired and replaced with AI" is certainly a take.

Five years ago this would have been dystopian sci-fi. I really don't like this timeline.

It's the second time he's tried it; I think it's pretty clear he absolutely _did_ think it through, very carefully and deliberately.

Priorities! I once got attacked in the street; I remained calm when the stranger (who was high and mentally ill) went for my sunglasses and hat but when she tried to grab the rhubarb I'd just bought, that crossed the line and I fought back.

We-Gove-Y?

Ah feck, I'm sorry. You do look great though.
