Fuck me, #Bluesky is a shitty little circle jerking echo chamber isn't it?
Off back to a real site.
A man's site.
A site for a man who knows what a man is.
A site for a man who who knows that most women know what a woman is.
A man who doesn't want to scroll through seas of reply-less posts.

*Cuts open shark*

Brody: Ugh. The smell!

*Hooper pulls out a license plate*

Hooper: Wait…what’s this? It looks like a note.

Brody: What’s it say?

Hooper: “Release The Epstein Files”.

It’s the 111th anniversary today of the birth of Harry Rée, who was a teacher and conscientious objector when the Second World War broke out, and by the time it ended, when he was 31, had invented ‘blackmail sabotage’ and got a DSO, an OBE, a Croix de Guerre, and a Medaille de la Resistance

Quick insight to my brain. Watching Slow Horses and the computers have PAT testing stickers on them. Brain: “Who the fuck carries out PAT testing in MI5?”
