gingerbread men are incapable of biological reproduction, because they are inanimate objects made of flour

but if these ones COULD reproduce, they WOULD do so by knocking up other baked goods and impregnating them with their doughy gingery offspring

in this sense, gingerbread men are like buses

Mini thread on the ET decision in Peggie

Top line: It says exactly what we have been saying for months. The decision of the Supreme Court was not to turn the Equality Act 2010 into a nationwide bathroom ban - regardless of how anti-trans organisations have sought to misrepresent the law.

This is the key paragraph in the Sandie Peggie decision.

This is good news, and very much not how it's been reported in the press.

She was not directly or indirectly discriminated against, her claim of victimisation fails entirely, her claim of harassment fails largely and her claim against Beth Upton fails entirely. www.judiciary.uk/judgments/sa...

"House of Commons Jerk Seasoning" is 1) an extremely funny concept and more importantly 2) a sign of a complete and total victory for cultural pluralism in a way that is kind of difficult to concieve
Look, I know things aren’t great at the moment for (a) anyone, and (b) the Labour Party, but fuck me that’s bleak

There is more information about dismal perennial 80s holiday earworm Agadoo in this thread than, I would hazard, has ever been compiled in any one place before. For the simple reason that I doubt it has ever occurred to anyone else to bother.

There’s a genre of video posts where people with a power washer brush attachment clean dirty road signs. I have no idea why but it’s very soothing.

Here’s an example.
A VERY DIRTY sign clean! #signcleaning #satisfying #satisfyingvideo #transformation #asmr

Been to the dentist. The colour of the mouthwash water has CHANGED! It is no longer vibrant pink but instead orange. It’s never not been pink in all my years of dentism.

My head nearly fell off. The actual Minister for Health said this?
