We held a state funeral for a factional powerbroker and invited along a disgraced broadcaster awaiting trial for 44 charges of sexual assault. The Prime Minister delivered a eulogy.

What a time to be alive.

Every single person who is anti-trans is a slight scratch away from going full racist. It is basically a gateway drug for racism/bigotry.

It seems fine. You pretend it’s about protecting women. You can point to famous people on your side.

But it is only ever about hate. Disgusting & cruel hatred.
UK Labour is what happens when a party flushes its soul down the toilet.

A party of bigots.

I love that the Muppetiest shark that could possibly exist also has a properly Muppet name.
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

The half arsed pat on the head you get when even your closest cronies are sick to the back teeth of hearing you complain about how you were robbed of the Nobel Peace Prize.

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

What kind of threat were those pointless security blokes even looking for if that guy managed to get all the way to manhandling Ariana Grande right in front of them.
Cynthia Erivo as a one woman security team was more effective.

It has been, again, a couch & audiobook day. I am not relying on any of you bastards to recommend me anything though ’cos you’re all hopeless.

Am listening to Merlin Sheldrake’s Entangled Life. An excellently read & extremely interesting book.
If only everyone here would leave me alone to listen 😭.
It’s a beautiful day today, the frogs are singing & the rain is shining.

Definitely a couch & audiobook day.

Please send recommendations as I have a @libro.fm credit burning a hole in my phone. Yeah, there are already dozens of books in my wishlist but there’s always room for more.

Double OMG! After giving it a 20% chance of sailing due to weather, I rock up 4 hours early, wait five minutes and I'm on the Spirit of Kangaroo Island freight ferry, fuel truck and all.
I love SeaLink and told the skipper I wanted to give him a hug.
I'll get home before 6pm. What a happy ending!
