That’s what you get when actual humans read your posts, I guess.

Good lord, I'm up to episode 8 and it just gets worse for parents. I suspect the writers were working through some issues.

Oh no. The first scarf of the year has been dragged out of retirement. This time just a sunny yellow cotton number from Vientiane, Laos, but they only get thicker and warmer from here on in.

Eeeewwww. Seriously, someone who thinks it's OK to show up at an event for children with a covert camera needs an intervention. If that fails, maybe something stronger.

Well yeah, its point is to be offensive, and it still packs a punch as it hasn't yet been watered down by overuse so it's perfectly understandable to disapprove of it. It just isn't used as a pejorative, just as every other swear word that was originally a gendered descriptor isn't pejorative.

I think it should be socially and legally acceptable to smack these clean off somebody's face if they're filming you against your will

I’d mug a wearer in a jurisdiction that requires two party consent just for the pleasure of seeing their video evidence barred from use in the trial. Wouldn’t even take anything. I just want to watch them stamp their little feet.

It really isn’t in the UK (and Australia, and probably NZ). Though yeah, when I hear it in an American accent my first thought is β€˜oh, I suspect you have a problem with women.’

You’d never hear from me again. Just the occasional rumour of an oddly generous guy who keeps clearing the tabs at an awesome little beach bar.

It was mildly transphobic, but in a cool, fun way that I’m sure we’re all super OK with.

Looks like everybody was right about The Pitt. Four episodes in and I think I've already exceeded my annual quota of welling up just a little bit.

Ohshitohshitohshit it's already up in Mongolia and I took a peek. Sorry, I'm usually pretty good at honouring the dibs system.

One person close to me uses AI for emotional support she isn't getting from her partner. Her partner uses AI to write messages to her because he apparently can't be bothered to do it himself. I can't abide AI but yeah, I feel the way people use it says a lot about who they are.

Call me lowbrow, but I'd consider being unmatched by someone because I wasn't familiar with their favourite poet a lucky escape.

Getting stroooooong memories of the typical level of online debate pre- and post-referendum. Lost count of the number of times Brexiters asked me why I was upset about losing freedom of movement because "surely it's not too hard to just fill out a few forms if you want to live in Europe."

When the universe casually drops a rainbow forcefield in your backyard like it’s no big deal.

my wife has been a fan of this baseball team since she was 6 years old and has never got to watch them in a playoff game and 5 min ago she was like "maybe we should have got tickets" and this surprise she's about to receive is gonna hit so hard

This is how wild helicopters show affection. You can try to gently pet it if you want.

My theory is that there's something about running a social media site that inevitably drives you insane. Only MySpace Tom got out clean.

It should be illegal to record video at karaoke. We sounded awesome last night but now there are instagram stories that appear to refute this fact? No. This is a crime. Prison.

I often forget that Mongolia is the most sparsely populated country in the world, because we're all crammed into a single valley and there are never any seats in my local pub on a Friday.

It was truly a beautiful, magical time to be alive. Oh, to be young and optimistic and excited about this cool new trick you just learned with HTML.
