a four-panel stick-figure cartoon panel one: three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. panel two: the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested. panel three: as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-" panel four phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."

Japanese onomatopoeia is very cute. My faves are ガブガブ (gabu gabu) gulping a drink ピューピュー (pyuu pyuu) strong wind ピーポー (piipoo) police car noise and the cartoonish ラブラブ— (raburabu) head over heels in love. Morning!

this is like

the thesis statement of our times

So…we’re NOT invading to protect the Iranians who protested the regime, like Trump claimed?

Now we’re going to kill them all instead?

Land of the free, home of the brave, slaughtering primary age schoolgirls and then putting out an official video featuring Adam Driver roaring "MOAR" and Tom Cruise dancing.

#USA #trump

I think we should allow Trump to choose Iran’s next leader as long as the rest of us can choose America’s. Because it’s clearly far too important a job to be left in the hands of Americans.

I hate it when somebody in a movie has a problem. Can’t they just have a nice time

If you refer to Iranians as "Arabs" or don't know how the Islamic Republic came to be (spoiler alert - western intervention to secure access to oil) please stop posting your opinion on the current war in the Middle East. I don't know it all but I know the basics and it's really not simple.

Apart from anything else here. Surrey isn't the county of 'red faced Brexiteers'. It voted (52-48 lol) for Remain! An inability to understand this in a Tory heartland is I think was an early example of why the Tories are up shit creek now.

Here’s an easy mnemonic to help you remember the 26 letters of the alphabet

Okay, so I am definitely going to have to go freelance, at least for a while. So, if anyone has any advice on actually building up and finding freelance policy and comms works, including providing media and advocacy training, campaign planning and strategy please let me know.

A 1944 map by geologist Harold Fisk charts a 40-mile stretch of the Mississippi River from Friars Point to Gunnison, Mississippi.

Rivers are living beings.

The song Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus makes me so incredibly, disproportionately, needlessly angry I genuinely cannot describe it. I would happily drown everyone involved in its creation.

Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about [spits out feathers]. For some of us, it's the Great Emu War of 1932.

Cats on a thatch for #caturday! 🐈‍⬛🐈

Tiny Niece got to meet some very famous, extremely lovely humans earlier, but was starstruck by a film star dog.

Last week, she had so many questions about how a dog could also be an actor, and today they got to meet. It was beautiful.

Wait - the corner of Olympic and Cloverfield, Santa Monica? Ladies and Gentlemen, that is almost exactly the location where the old Buffy offices stood. I believe we may owe thanks for this one to the Hellmouth.

I don't actually know him, but his voice was loud enough to be pissing off half the playground.

One of the school run dads at the gates was Colin Robinsoning about specific war planes earlier, and saying that the only reason we're not joining in is so we "don't offend Muslims, never mind US BRITISH!"

A Mum and I shared a subtle ugh-face as he held captive court with his nasal fucking voice.

The humans had already heard about Tiny Niece, and were really happy to meet her. She played it cool in person, as she always does. She was also dressed as Wednesday Addams for World Book Day, as we came straight from school.

Nooo, kept that one for best.

Me, telling Tiny Niece about the film I'm working on: you won't be able to watch it until you're older, because there's swearing.

Tiny Niece: the f-word?

Me: yes.

Tiny Niece: fuck?

Me: yup, that's the one.

I have now been alive for 53 years, yet have still not mastered the art of saying "I'm so happy for you" without it sounding like bitter, seething resentment.

Watch this clip and promise to yourself you'll read at least a chapter of a book today.

Casting call! Looking for a woman voice actor, 50+ who is versatile and a vocal chameleon / can play many different bit parts in an audio comedy.

Quite an opening paragraph.

Part of me wants a trans man to pop up and dominate a men's event. That would be bloody hilarious, and would expose the trans panic for what it truly is.
