BIG TRANS
The Dundee Evening Telegraph not fucking about with the headline.

Because I am a Welshman and a living cliché, my grandfather was a miner, and because the other side of my family is from the north of England and I am a living cliché, my other grandfather worked in't mill.
They nailed it.

How I arrived on Bluesky.
I like some metal without being a real metalhead, but this is one of my all-time favourite albums.
It absolutely does my nut in that the country that was SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED to not have tyrannical kings that nobody can get rid of has a tyrannical king that nobody can get rid of.
If it ever becomes a hate symbol I will personally shove a red dragon up the arse of every racist I can find.
Ryan Davies's version of this is my second favourite stand up bit, my first favourite being Ryan Davies's version of the Carmarthen delivery driver taking wood to London.
Reminds me of the old Welsh joke. Chap stranded on a desert island for some time, builds a chapel. A few years later he's rescued - the rescuers find a second chapel. Why, they ask.him, are there two? "Ah, that one over by there's the one I don't go to..."

Where's Bulbyballs on the list. Where's Chudmungus. Where's Funt.
a linoprint in black of a stylised crow with a snake in its beak. Two other snakes emerge from holes in the ground either side of the held snake. there's a pencil next to the print, for scale.

Folk of such suicidal stubbornness that Roman scholar Tacitus once wrote, in what I've always imagined to be an exasperated tone, "neither atrocity nor clemency had any effect on them."
Reform presumably furious about "clan-based voting" in south Wales although in this case the clan being the Silures, the Celtic people of pre-Roman Gwent.
There he is, Leigh the News.
a good thing is when someone posts a picture of a cat, and then people reply with "great cat, here also is a picture of my cat." unsolicited cat pics aplenty. this could be the world we build

Superman in 1824, with his hair brushed forward and fake sideburns, still in his Superman costume.
Superman in 1779, with long haired wig tied at the back, still in his Superman costume.
Here's Superman on a time travelling mission, making sure to style his hair in a manner that's appropriate for the era so he doesn't look like a complete freak.
I don’t know how to use chatgpt etc but I imagine it’s going to a website and typing “oh no what groceries do I buy please tell me false god for I am so weak I cannot go on” as your brain atrophies and leaks out of your ears from disuse and the machine is like “buy eggs milk bread and a horse”
It's not even close how we've got the best flag.
