Sad news today as legendary character actor and the hottest young man to have ever lived Udo Kier has passed away at 81.

That poem being leaked at least means that being shot twice in the head is now the SECOND worst thing that has happened to a Kennedy on 22nd November.

Sooz Kempner is a good sort and has an incredible voice even at 75%,so if you're around London please go and see her and if you're lucky you might get a look at an alien vagina during a high note.
Big very scary announcement that I never thought I'd have to make so I put nice music and a relaxing nostalgic background on it for you.

People are probably calling Labour racist because Labour keep being racist. If they want to stop being called racist they should stop doing racist things.

The ongoing mission to make our house the most Goffick House in Manchester continues with black iron sconces. The candles are remote control, else we'd burn the house down.

At some point in the next few weeks 'It's actually EPHEBOPHILIA, not PAEDOPHILIA' is going to become an actual discussion point of the US Republican party, and we're all going to have to sit and watch it like that's a normal thing to be happening.

I will never get an Instagram, because I find it so obnoxious that they have a business model where they won't show you the product unless you become a customer. If someone posts a link to your website, let people actually fucking look at it and they might consider signing up.

At this point I am quite sure that if a video comes out with him railing a 15yo the only thing that will come out of it is the US age of consent will be lowered to 14.
The Epstein emails could say "Donald Trump is the King of the Paedos" and the US media would still be posting chinstroking little think pieces going "but what can this cryptic aside possibly mean?"
the emails from epstein say things like "thank god donald trump isnt exposing us. he knows more than anyone" and the headlines are like "it would seem, to some, that donald trump's name is mentioned in passing"

The most egregious example of this is the 'Yorkshire' accent as noted by My Abraham Stoker, with the Whitby fisherman:
"These bans an' wafts an' boh-ghosts an' barguests and bogles an' all anent them is only fit to set bairns an' dizzy women a-belderin'. They be nowt but airblebs!"

Always eye-opening when someone with a southern English accent tries to write a northern English accent "phonetically" revealing what an alien perspective they have of the relationship between sounds and letters

What's more likely is everyone will have forgotten how SQL actually works because they've got so used to asking Chat GPT. And people like me who steadfastly refuse to 'vibe code' will be prized like people who still know COBOL are now.
By the time they leave primary school, every child should know how to create, query, and update a simple SQL database. They should build on this in secondary school. In 20 years time, spreadsheets will only be for shopping lists, which is as it should be.

I'm so glad that Lidl's new self-service tills say 'Please take your bags and leave the store'.
Last time I used one in Tesco I stood there for eight hours crying and trying to work out what to do next. I'd soiled myself twice before Security came over to help me out the door.

Astonishing how headlines are just 'Samir Zitouni' for the name of the guy who saved people during the stabbing incident, and not 'X-Born Samir Zitouni' or 'X-British National Samir Zitouni' like they would if he was the suspect?
It's almost like the race is only important when they want it to be.

I know that my opinion means almost nothing as a non-PoC, but I don't really understand the logic of 'We shouldn't use the word 'Spooky', which has meant 'creepy' for hundreds of years, because a few decades back the racists stole it fair and square'.
I am trying not to use it, however.
