Remember this Christmas: If you aren't in Wales or Shropshire the Mari Lwyd is an invasive species and should be culled to prevent competition with your local festive cryptid population.

'Like a dog's arsehole on Thanksgiving.' has to be the finest moment of cross cultural language exchange I have encountered.

I am not going to accept the burden of proof when your appeal to authority is a study that supports my position.

Sometimes I just think about the thought process that led to Britt Allcroft making a Thomas and Friends movie where she plays the part of an engine who is a literal god from whom the existence of Sodor magically derives.
There was also an evil Diesel with a grabby claw that tried to kill folks.

Not easy to get to sleep tonight - have burnt the bridge of whatever career I had left and really don’t feel that my opinions are so extreme that that should have been necessary
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Yeah... Not the portent of doom you intend it to be for Gen Z.

So God 'took a rib' and made woman? Sounds like Eve was pretty darn trans to me.

The Prophets in DS9 are really relatable cos like, if I had amazing cosmic powers I'd also use them to hang out with Sisko.

Just catching up, are the bigots in favour of or against safe spaces this week? Are children responsible for their bad decisions or should we be stripping people of the citizenship because of them?

Need to sort out all these time travelers screaming 'Don't create popular fiction "Don't create the torment nexus."'and trying to kill me.

That moment when your career flashes before your eyes as your student giggles with glee. The project you have been working on together blasts across the car park and flies off into the distance whilst burning.

This is why we have risk assessments and safety equipment. To compensate for bad maths.

After months of asking, my MP has confirmed she doesn't want to offer me a surgery appointment to discuss the problems associated with the Supreme Court judgement and the transphobic actions of the government.

I have meaningfully and patiently engaged with the system to no avail.

Me looking at delivery note as I sort the COSHH documentation...

'Why did I order magnesium strip? I don't think it was for reactivity series or... Did I just ask for a resource purely to burn it?'

Me as a kid watching 90's films: 'The robot is a person, it is making art! Robots should be allowed to make art!'

Me now: 'AI art? Robot, could you fucking not?'

Sit down to relax after a busy day at work, open social media, read the latest news, have anxiety attack and existential dread.

Me: 'I plan to demonstrate waves by microwaving a lightbulb.'

Boss: 'Will that damage our only microwave?'

Me: 'Probably not? I mean I can't guarantee... ok fine I'll do the cheese demonstration.'
