Once, I was thoroughly enjoying an apparently excellent book. I thought that I was learning until it weaved in something on a topic I knew well, and (ab)used it. The critical thinking daemons stepped forward; how quickly mis- and disinformation can be delivered under a mantle of respectability...🙈😢

If you’re working class, you mean that twat with a nice house. If you’re upper class, you mean that twat with the tacky house. If you’re middle class, you mean that twat next door.
Could someone explain to me what is meant when a British person refers to "the middle class" ? Like, in the US, as I hear it, it basically just means a person who makes a certain amount of money, not too far below and not wildly above the median. Seems like a complex concept when UK writers use it?

Wow. One of those properties that there's a certain responsibility in their realisation... @realgdt.bsky.social has it well protected... 😍 (And still a teeny hint of Karloff in the creature. Respect!)

In other news, I did a mounting (stop sniggering at the back) with Cow Gum (the name has changed...and the price!) last night for the first time in decades. The fumes may explain my social media posts this morning... 🙈

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.
