One of my favorite Douglas Adams quotes:
“All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others.”
More timely today than ever, don't you think? 💙

I was naturally unaware of this person called ‘Stephen Pollard’ a few hours ago. I would assume he was Su’s husband or something. Now I know that he is one of the 100 or so worst lifeforms currently existing in all universes.

If I ruled the world, I wonder how long it would take me to completely revolutionise local news websites so they are useful community hubs rather than shitty broken advert-packed nightmares. Less than a week, certainly.

The way the British establishment at large has always closed ranks to protect a hideous would-be fascist worthless bigoted oik like Farage is bizarre. Like getting home to find your family has adopted a rabid pitbull that shits non-stop, and you’re not allowed to even raise an eyebrow in protest.

I wonder if this mindset that professional content creators HAVE to have social media platforms might be outdated. Thing is, the world is now run by the most evil trolls, and these apps are their torture devices. Every day they rub our faces in it, and the toxicity is dangerous.

I will always admire the sheer Scottishness of Scottish King William I, pressed to come up with a heraldic national animal in the 12th century, just getting pissed off and roaring “Okay, we’ll make it a bloody UNICORN, how’d’ye like THAT?” www.rabbies.com/en-gb/blog/u....

If even half the sods in this land who claim to love #Blackadder had bought the official, ultimate guide to the show, The True History of the Black Adder, in any format, I probably wouldn’t wake up worried at 4am quite so often. www.hive.co.uk/Product/J-F-... @pitchblacksteed.bsky.social

I’ve had no regular income since June, and am barely getting by on (very meagre) benefits.
Just putting this out there so the right people hate me, as I’ve seen the kind of person who hates fellow tax-paying humans who happen to require income assistance.

If social media algorithms are so damn smart, why have I never been remotely interested in a single thing any platform has ever shoved under my nose?

One total weirdo happens to like wearing sheets, clanking chains and going BOO. He dies, becomes an extrovert phantom, and all ghosts become stereotyped by association.

Did Mick Jagger gives Giles Martin a bung to put Anthology 4 out like this? Roll on Anthology 5.
Surely all Beatle freaks will have agreed by now that Anthology 4 is a puzzling disappointment of truly surreal proportions. Yet, unlike any other band, the best bits are still the ones that make you laugh out loud. Like this one: #FabFoolsFriday youtube.com/playlist?lis... ✌🏽🎶🃏

Remember, if by any chance you happen to find yourself in such a position as to be able to in any way nullify a racist or fascist of any kind, without doing harm to yourself or innocent people, ALWAYS take out the trash.
