If I'm not clear enough on the topic: No one in a nation that wastes 30% of its produced food should be hungry.

No one should be unhoused in a nation that has more empty houses than unhoused people.

Dragons nesting on hoards are the bad guys in tabletop games, not an ideal to strive to become.

Minority representation on TV causes outrage

There has been widespread support for prominent Reform MP
Sarah Pochin after she complained about the over-representation of minorities on television.
Said one angry viewer, "She's right. Every time you turn on the telly there's another Reform MP being interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg."
She added, "I respect their way of life and their strange customs, but Reform MPs comprise only 0.7 percent of the House of Commons. Yet Nigel Farage is on Question Time more than Fiona Bruce."
"I'm not prejudiced. Some of my best friends are swivel-eyed loons, but enough is enough.
There are too many people with angry red faces on television.”

I would've gotten away with it all if it wasn't for them and their stupid dog.

It's a good subject for a quiz.
(OTOH multiple-choice quizzes are often a bit disappointing)

The most vocal Christians never mention the Beatitudes. They demand the 10 Commandments be posted in public buildings. That's Moses; not Jesus. No one demands the Beatitudes be posted anywhere.

3 things Starmer could do instead of camps in old barracks that would actually WORK👇

1. Create safe, regulated routes to apply for asylum in the UK

2. Let asylum seekers WORK & support themselves

3. Fast track status for people from obviously unsafe countries

The government's immigration policy is in desperate need of a bold change in direction.

Also, may I offer you congratulations and plaudits* for writing a book**!

*I've been meaning to use that word for a while.

**One day, maybe I'll get that far and finish writing a whole damned book.

Q: is there a physical copy option?
(It's just that I'm a bit backward like that, currently living in the early 19th Century trying to stop Naploeon.)

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” “Doctor Who,” or “Transformers".

Poster for a performance of Karel Capek's "R.U.R." - which if memory serves is the original source of the word "Robot".

At least we still have the Great Worm of Maindy, our local cryptid - although it's been 50 years since the last sighting of that, and the internet is only vaguely aware of it.

And then there's the Shambling Wugu Beast of the Metropolitan Line...

Where HAVE all the proper monsters gone?

Dorkomatic @dorkomatic.bsky.social · 2d

I'm suddenly reminded of the Giant Flying Vampire Toad.

(...sadly, even the internet seems to have forgotten it.)

That turned into a graveyard smash
But you don't really care for monsters, do you?

I used to work at a small shop that made little plastic vampires.

There were only 2 of us working there, so I had to make every second count.
