Fantastic article, but particularly clear on what was widely known and covered for by the whole family but particularly the Queen.

The shallow attempt to disassociate themselves from the vicious little shit must not work.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Three panel comic of two people talking. Text reads:
WE INVENTED A ROBOT THAT ANSWERS QUESTIONS
WE JUST HAVE TO FEED IT 10
BABY GIRAFFES A DAY
BUT IT ANSWERS THE QUESTIONS CORRECTLY?
OH MY GOODNESS, NO.
NO NO NO NO NO

Just got home from this, watching @misterabk.bsky.social bravely face down an evening of quite spectacular technical hitches, courtesy of the venue, and still charm the pants off everyone 🀣 Fabulous evening. You have to go, (esp if you are in Belfast apparently)

a black and white photo of two women dancing in a desert . Alt: An old black and white clip of Wilson and Kepple (the two male performers of the troup 'Wilson Kepple and Betty') dressed in a pastiche of arab clothes with bare legs, doing a stylised Egyptian dance with comic movements. It was known as the sand dance. Now I look at it, it feels 'iffy' but this is going back to pre second world war.

So - Maggie πŸˆβ€β¬› + the clonky floorboard in the bedroom. She steps over it - but if she wants me, she hits it perfectly for max CLUNK. Dimly aware during my lie-in, there was a full-on Wilson, Kepple & Betty dance going on + I kept my head under my pillow - to the disgust of my annoyingly clever cat.

A friend has just typed β€œRizzo” instead of β€œRizzio” and I now want The Muppets Do 16th Century Scotland.

I am especially here for Miss Piggy v John Knox. He doesn’t stand a chance.

Kansas has, overnight, invalidated the drivers’ licenses of trans people, a pointless cruelty that upends their lives

If Brits think β€œit won’t happen here” think again! Groups in the U.K. who want the same thing are routinely invited to consult with Labour and normalised in our press!

It’s been suggested to me that β€˜Slipping in my own tears’ would make a great name for a podcast πŸ˜…
Now wondering what it should be about? πŸ€”

Comic. [Person is sitting at a desk with a laptop, turned toward voice coming from off-panel.] VOICE FROM OFF-PANEL: I got you the ingredients for dinner tonight. Oh, and the plums in the fridge drawer are for my yogurt tomorrow; you should just leave them. Be back later! PERSON’S THOUGHT BUBBLE: Oh no. [caption] Help. It actually happened. I shouldn’t. But how can I not!?

I saw someone making it on a ytube short floating past and assumed it had to be rage bait. But if you search for it even here on bsky it there are a fair few examples - so I am so confused

For context I had a flippin' massive TN event about 4 weeks ago in the street (fortunately friends were there) after which the pain leveled off at about a 7 or 8 without end since. I am hanging on for the next lot of Botox on Thursday.

Doubled over, leaning on the kitchen counter crying so hard that teardrops were splashing on the floor. Which I then promptly slipped in with me slippers. Didn't fall, but felt I'd rather over-done it with the drama.

Meanwhile the β€œpsychologically flawed” Gordon Brown, having enacted the most redistributive economic policies in the UK for the past 50 years, and saving the UK from full impact of 2008 - is still engaged in acts of public service….9/

I know I buy far too many books but I like to think that lining the walls of my house with them wards off evil in some deeply important way.

Note from my notebook (2016). Nothing has changed.

I try my hardest to stop buying books but sometimes it is just too difficult.

HELLO I WAS A QUEER TEEN IN THE 1990s AND THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST SOCIAL TRANSITION NOW ARE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST "LETTING" US BE (at the time, for me) GAY OR LESBIAN THEN.

They all rest on the belief that it's inherently better to be straight (then)/cis (now) and that's BS.

really enjoy that the bloke who won two golds on the luge is someone who was a national level taekwondo fighter until he got injured and then a government figure stepped out the shadows and said "let me tell you about project going down a hill really fast"

Out of all the hoo-ha about Malinin (annoying but obvs talented chap) - this is a deeply uncomfortable father/son picture and I have a lot more sympathy.
