I did say as much in a reply to someone. But yes, you’re right.

Well I think it’s that our right wing nut jobs (who will scream about it anyway) can’t scream that it’s an open Republican rebellion in the streets 😹

Lots of countries doing support rallies for ‘No Kings’ but the UK has gone with ‘No Tyrants’. Which, I get, but it does make me giggle.

I’m not surprised, but so many people ignore the dog whistles they are prepared to make in public. So it’s important to lay them bare.

Mum did not appreciate the wash. So before and after me insisting they cannot kill each other x

Just like me. Also (allegedly) men… so also me.

When asked if Abraham Lincoln had any hobbies, his wife responded only ‘cats’.

‘No kings means no paycheques’ is a line so cartoonishly evil… no, I apologise to cartoonists.

Got to love the little things in life. She’s having a Hela dream… it’s like other dreams but much skinnier & more legendary x

lafoule17.bsky.social @lafoule17.bsky.social · 1d

Yes. I do stand by ‘dogs don’t die, heroes kill then’ being a great Noem line though!

Some twats were playing with one of those strong green laser pointers outside at midnight and I thought I was getting SWATed 😹

And they were roommates x

I hope Wikipedia survives and thrives. I can’t even remember what I was looking for but I ended up reading quite a lot about rum rationing in the British & Commonwealth Navies… I fear Elmo’s version would have led me to an article on slavery apologists in the same time.

A little geeky perhaps but I really enjoy this as a way to convey a lot about the the data set really quickly.

Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent new visual story on batteries in FT today shows just how far this technology has evolved.

Fasten your seatbelts, this is just the beginning.

First five seconds made that an instant bookmark!

SNL often feels like when your friend who is a bit socially awkward tries to tell a story that you *know* is funny and you’re just quietly willing them not to fumble it.

That’s a very good way to put it!

I will never understand the American infatuation with putting circa 3 inches of sliced meat between slices of bread and insisting on calling it a sandwich. Just bite into a whole pig and chase it with a cracker.

(Lovingly, it’s not hurting anyone x)

Unnecessary & divisive primaries… Now come on Bernard.

FWIW I think there should be fewer hurdles and more people running for public office.

But…

I’m so glad this was before I went to bed. I’d have had to sleep on the couch x

Not to be crude but prior to this Gizmo was licking his balls so intently that he fell off the coffee table 😹

Loved you guyzes review. A soft audition if there ever was one!

Amazon asking me if I’m ’still watching’ after binging 6 episodes of The Blacklist is actually very passive aggressive & a touch homophobic.

These people aren’t Christians or of any faith with an afterlife. You only believe you can get away with this if you don’t believe you have a soul to be judged.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation
