Never posting normal after posting anti-trans stuff continues to be law

Yep, same craic with organisations who let staff go without following procedure. As long as only 1 or 2 fight back it's worth the hit

I love when they stumble into nonsense like this cause they can't quite let a sentence end just yet

This fella was so clearly sent on the show with some cards reading "DE-ESCALATE" "CONFLICT RESOLUTION" and "DIALOGUE"

Huh, almost as if interacting with the RTB is no form of deterrent

"Did you write those rules for the new boardgame?"

"Sure did boss, real vague and everything left to the discretion of the players, just like you asked"

Amazing how constantly having to call meetings like this, begging them not to jack up the prices of fuel, food, homes, etc etc, never seems to make them question whether the laws are robust enough in the first place

Just basing this off my own replies, where on Twitter I'd have regular abusive ones saying all sorts of horrible stuff, especially if I posted a sketch, whereas here I don't think I've ever had one that fit that bill

I have entered the future of recent past, for I am a PS5 boy now.

First on the list: Blue Prince

But I also have loads of games I haven't played from my PS4, so I reckon I'll be enjoying them for the time being

And to think I used to spend time considering whether I should block people that were being outright abusive

I don't think I've had a reply that annoyed in me months. Amazing what people got used to on Twitter

He talks a big game, but if our Government are anything to go by, he'll be over in the White House on Spain's National Day, handing Trump a bowl of some plant that's strongly associated with Spain

Don't even have to look it up to be sure his golf course in Scotland has had issues with windmills at some point

If those films about soldiers being sad about all the civilians they killed while deployed were visualised as a human face, it would look like Michael Martin's.

Notice how he doesn't use words like "reprehensible" for price gouging. Those kinds of words are only for special occasions, like when someone points out an obvious mistake you've made

"Hey folks, it's me, the politician you love to hate!"

"Oh yeah, I hate you, you can't have my vote."

"Right. Might not have thought this tactic through."

MicheΓ‘l has managed to squeeze every last ounce of juice out of his "decent man" reputation, and it's pretty much all he has. What on earth is Jim supposed to possess that makes him leader material to the public?!

This is the problem with pretending to be a big tough guy. It's all performative, so he has no idea where it begins or ends, and you end up with awful shit like this

I might be naive, but a headline featuring a Minister saying "my job is not to be sensitive", above a caption featuring a "mother of explosion victim" is not a very good look

The place Matthew Lillard shows them where there's a portal to one of the lodges freaks me out so much. Just such a nothing, ordinary little piece of suburbia, the idea you could wander into it by mistake, nah

I did a rewatch of The Return a few months back, and it was easily the best rewatch of anything I've ever done
