Em's bad year support fund Our dear Emma Newman is having a shite year. First she broke her ankle walking on flat pavement, now she's got breast cancer fucking up her life. The broken bone put her out of commission for almost t...

Okay, deep breath.
I need your help. My friend set this up for me because financial stress is making the whole cancer stress a lot worse.

If, like me, you don't have money atm, if you have read and enjoyed any of my books, please can you tell people about them?

Men's mental health is a genuine issue and peer support groups can be a fantastic part of improving the situation. But there's a real risk of creating manosphere echo chambers which exacerbate issues. It's currently not cost how we counter that without also being accused of "having an agenda".

learning about how all 3 reactor operators at SL-1 were different facets of Homer Simpson. 3 Homer Simpsons running the US Army’s first nuclear reactor, AND THEY ALL HATE EACH OTHER

"Why are the payment processors dictating morality?"
Because when people went after sites for underage porn, they couldn't sue the victims, the creators, the studios, the websites or their hosts; but they *could* sue the payment processors for enabling the whole thing, and it fucking terrified them

Daily Mail article headlined ‘JK Rowling's barrister friend says she was banned by her vet for her gender-critical beliefs - but clinic staff say it was because she was rude when told dog was too fat’

good afternoon

An alignment grid of Prep to Goth horizontally, and Jock to Nerd vertically, in which yr hmbl svnt is positioned nearly as far Nerd as you can go, and only just in the Goth third of the chart. Text reads "You are 41.8% Goth, 82.7% Nerd, placing you in the LARP category".

There are times, internet oh internet, where I just don't *like* you.

If you wish the core of your personality to be exposed, slimy and dripping, to the external world, this is the location

My favourite character in The Jungle Book’s Kaa, the python, but then Mr Kipling did make exceedingly good snakes.

As much as I love Sorkin’s writing style, his understanding of anything involving technology ended with him being flamed out of the Television Without Pity forums during early West Wing.

If I had a nickel for every time a crypto-Tory "Labour" prime minister dragged us into an illegal war alongside a US President who needs a boost in the opinion polls, against a Middle Eastern country beginning with IRA, based on unsubstantiated claims that they were developing nuclear weapons…

The very first addition to the house when we bought it. I have no regrets.

This is Aurae. Aurae is my best friend today, and I will be leaving her side with extreme reluctance.

Hegseth succesfully blending invisibly to the scenery leaving only a stars & stripes pocket-square, like the worst version of the cheshire cat.

"HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL?"

The president's birthday parade may not have had the impressiveness of those from countries he admires, but he does bring the same level of red flag energy.

There exists a joke about the Odyssey which nobody tells.

Don’t install developer betas of operating systems on anything you need to be working.

They are for test phones, spare tablets, and unused laptops. They are so devs can see what needs fixing before the general public gets their mitts on it, and are not for general use.

Greta Thunberg got bad write-ups from Julie Burchill, Brendan O'Neill, Suzanne Moore, Zoe Strimpel and Piers Morgan, the fabled "Arsehole Voltron"

before and after today’s glacier collapse that buried 90% of blatten, switzerland

I mean, so would current Labour leadership. Though they might think his support of gay marriage was a bit of a reach.

I once had to bury a furry elephant-like thing. It was a mammoth undertaking.

Blue Prince and Clair Obscur have me by the neck a bit, but I’m keeping up with FF14 and will one day get to the end of Fallen Order without falling off and restarting in six months.

The kind of day when you don't hate yourself quite enough so you add on-commit code-linters to a long-running personal project.

Here’s a video of my dog Rylan rolling in leaves and trotting away proudly.

I’ve played too many adventure/puzzle games not to assume that the superscript letters are a code or reference of some kind.

Being ridiculous is one of the only sane responses left. I don’t think he does really, probably, but by his behaviour and his policies, I don’t think there’s a keyhole gap between a Starmer policy and, say, a Cameron one.

I saw a thing recently that posited that Sir Starmer votes Tory, and the concept has stuck in my head like a bit of grit in my tear ducts.

The call came from a pre-described actual listed number, and the first thing they did was confirm a pin sent to the contact number for the account, before asking for the normal confirmation stuff. Not bank-secure, but better than “hi it’s EE”

Credit where credit’s due, I just had a very positive experience with EE’s customer service, where their callback system did actual two-sided authentication and then fixed the issue (eSIM admin) quickly and efficiently.

Today I noticed that our preferred brand of dog-shit bags have an instagram page, which seems unfortunate.

The xitter link, I can understand.
