My dad died this morning. Anything that’s good, or decent about me? He’s the one to thank for that. What a life he lived: a Northumberland shepherd who met Presidents, Kings, & Killers and was still the same humble bloke. We didn’t always agree what constitutes injustice, but he taught me to hate it

This is the water and this is the well. Drink full and descend, Charlie Brown. The horse is the white of the eyes, and dark within.
My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius, father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife, and I will have my vengeance, Charlie Brown, in this life or the next.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
all those moments will be lost in time. like tears in rain.
time to die, Charlie Brown

If someone high up in any other party were jailed for being an asset of another state acting with malicious intent, do you think these slimy cunts would shut up about it?

If we are going to judge what loo you use based on how you look, absolutely guaranteed to be detrimental in all conceivable ways, could we also have a discussion about how shit disabled toilet provisions are. I am non-binary and disabled. My options are pretty damned limited at the best of times.

Started watching Billionaires’ Bunker on Netflix last night. Very promising: nuclear anxiety and some of the most gloriously OTT melodrama that I’ve ever seen. Like if Eastenders was scripted by Pinter. Queasily tense and laugh out loud funny.

Hindsight may well be a wonderful thing but plenty of people had the foresight to see that, once you got past the blustering persona, Johnson was a liability, a towering slab of fuck all but personal ambition.

I hope they used the same two topless men every time. I would watch an Edwardian Road movie about these two chaps, zigzagging the country by train, methodically but reluctantly measuring out 70 feet and then exposing their nipples to be sure.
I’m calling them Hedley and Chadwick.

In the UK, houses that back on to each other have to be at least 21 metres apart because of a 1902 law. This is all about protecting a woman's modesty.
This distance was decided by two topless men backing away from each other until they couldn't see each others nipples.

I think the most charming thing about Warhammer 40k is, at its heart, the lore feels like two five-year-olds constantly trying to one-up one another.
"MY guy is RAMBO and SHOOTS your guy!"
"Nuh-UH cuz my guy is made of DIAMONDS and EATS the bullet!"
"The bullet EXPLODES!"
