Discworld QOTD, from Unseen Academicals

“But, it was a funny thing: every day something happened that was important enough to be on the front page of the newspaper. She’d never bought it and seen a little sign that said ‘Not much happened yesterday, sorry about that’.”

Discworld QOTD, from Thud!

“Beating people up in little rooms…he knew where that led. And if you did it for a good reason, you’d do it for a bad one. You couldn’t say ‘We’re the good guys’ and do bad-guy things.”

disappointed to see some people perpetuate the "socialism means u have to be poor" section of the fascist propaganda handbook by sneering at someone for having nice shoes.

under socialism we can all have nice things

"FIFA Peace Prize" has about the same level of value and cachet as "McDonalds Oceanic Exploration Award"

I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

"Illegal migration is..."

*proceeds to attack every available form of legal migration, missing the whole problem that people who do illegal things don't give a shit how you reconfigure or enforce the legal rules, that's why it's illegal*

It's great that AI is giving scammers a way to spray us all with oceans of zero effort dogshit. If the modern world previously had one problem, it was that there wasn't enough zero effort dogshit around.

Newcastle says no to fascism.

The far right brought a hundred or so with them, bussed from far and wide. This city turned out 1000s, from local communities, estates and streets. Geordies of all backgrounds coming together and outnumbering the purveyors of hate by some distance.

Newcastle united.

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset.
In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)
