Nobody should have to hear the opinions of a man who is sad that a computer game lady does not have massive tits. About anything.

Why are these people such cringey fucking idiots? Why do I live in an era where I have to hear their fuckery?

I appreciate this is a universal comment but it's at The Gamers(TM) in particular.

That Gannon-Doak lad looks like a bit of a player @kenbarkway.bsky.social

Carrying on from the end of last season. I'd also say that the best we've played all season featured the fewest 'new signings'.

I found it deeply unpleasant and, well, people who were a bit right wing but otherwise sound were going completely batshit and posting utter cringe. And that was just me, dread to think what it was like for you with a bit of public profile.

Our teams are going to hand the title to Marc Skinner. This is unacceptable.

cow tools daily @cowtoolsdaily.bsky.social · Dec 10

POV: you've committed the perfect crime, disposed of the weapon and and hidden the body, but now you arrive back at your pasture to find you are well and truly fucked.

Detective Columbo stands behind a wooden table with two irregular cow tools in it. He holds a 3rd cow tool and looks at it with his other hand scratching his head. He says, "Gee these tools are really something, aren't they? Y'know, my wife, she says they lack sophistication. But I just think that adds to the charm... Say... Don't they usually come in a set of four?"

Caption below the panel reads, "Cowlumbo tools."

The 'everybody is 12' theory gains ground with the incredible number of people earnestly arguing "Your article headline caused me to have a reaction and my response will be entirely based around that reaction. That you explained in the next post and the article is free to read is irrelevant"

I know you’ve all been on tenterhooks, so: happy 362nd anniversary to this entry from the Diary of Samuel Pepys, in which he is administered a ‘clyster’, or... to deploy the correct medical terminology, gets his wife to shove a pint of beer up his arse

...beginning to be very well, and yet when I came home⁠ ⁠… the little straining which I thought was no strain at all at the present did by and by bring me some pain for a good while. Anon, about 8 o’clock, my wife did give me a clyster which Mr. Hollyard directed, viz., a pint of strong ale, 4 oz. of sugar, and 2 oz. of butter. It lay while I lay upon the bed above an hour, if not two, and then thinking it quite lost I rose, and by and by it began with my walking to work, and gave me three or four most excellent stools and carried away wind, put me in excellent ease, and taking my usual walnut quantity of electuary at my going into bed I had about two stools in the night.⁠ ⁠…

I've had to open the laptop of work and continue writing a report and that's still preferable to the political shows.
