I'm just a guy that loves working out, growing cacti & succulents and utterly devastating my mental health by keeping up to date with current events.

bad writing can lowkey be beautiful. not because the language is beautiful but because bad writing can reveal things about the writer that "good writing" would know to conceal or distract from. sometimes when reading bad writing I feel a terrible, thrilling closeness to the author.

I only have red meat on special occasions. Today I had steak for the second time this year & was my first time going to a steak restaurant. T-bone steak cooked medium. Exquisite. Will probably be another 6 months before I can have such an indulgence again, and now the standard has been set!

There's a mosquito loose in my home gym that is adding a level of tension I was not expecting to have to deal with on leg day.

It's absolutely wild that we are heading to a world where old queers will sit the young uns down to tell them tales of freedom and rights rather than how it used to be with the elders speaking of the horrors they fought through to get those freedoms and rights for the young uns.

Journalists need to stop looking for 'balance' and get back to informing the public. Make a judgement ffs. Help people understand, don't just throw bullshit at them and go 'work it out'.
That is your job.
That is your job.
“Some say”, “controversial”, “experts disagree”. Just say they’re talking bollocks, man, the world is ending and we haven’t got time for this

A lot of media types going "It needs to be said, this is fascism" and all I think about is the people told to stop being so hyperbolic for warning fascism was coming over the past decade.

All of these bans enable party members to attend regardless on an individual basis. On an individual basis they are unaffected.
The ability to use Pride as an advertising platform is what is taken away.
It is extremely telling how raging a lot of them are about specifically being denied that.
