Donaeld the Unready

Her position will be left empty for a month and then refilled at a higher ministerial salary.

They're really packing it in

Panto season comes early with Widow Trumpy.

Hearing rumours that Keir Starmer is looking at releasing a real flesh and blood version of himself alongside the current AI one.

I'll have to. It clashes with the Pennine Belligerents grudge match against Peak District Disappointments, a derby that has literally seconds of history.

Negotiators are desperately trying to persuade him to stay up there.

A devastating car crash is also a reasonable review of this trash.

It's just the best sport. Well done to India for finishing the game in between Elevenses and Midday Snack.

Essentially, fucking grow up you self-sanctimonious bunch of pointless children and demonstrate that you can be a good partner to another adult.

I'd also recommend living alone/in a shared flat and at least masquerading as a competent human adult who can wash their bedding and plates so that you understand how to function as an individual and don't just expect some poor cunt to baby you through life like a nappied Andrew Tate.

It's just a thought, but maybe if you regard a potential partner as an individual human being who might be interested in you because you're funny or interesting or hot or a combination of any of those and also as someone who can not be interested in you sexually then you might do better.

I realise this might be over a week late, and therefore totally pointless but if young men want to get laid with women could I suggest looking at what young. (or old) lesbians do and think about copying them.

We cannot rule this out

Actually the Graun called me "Sumeon too witch" but I know what they meant.

A particular low point was 2018 when I was cycling home from work and my bike had a total failure of all mechanical parts on the Mound, which led to me screaming in the middle of the road and a 3 star review from the Graun and a note that I was "someone to watch."

And so I'm once again at the time of year where I need to explain to multiple people in the city of Edinburgh that I'm not an act, I always look like this all year round.

People they are the English, they go the out.

These days you'll get arrested and thrown in jail, just for drinking water from your hands

Well quite. It was admittedly a surprise Durham didn't delude itself that it could be the Harvard of Europe.

When I was at Durham they somehow decided on "Durham: the Princeton of Europe" as a catchphrase. Most people there felt that they should get on with being the Durham of Europe and stop pissing around.

Try fucking off. And when you think you've fucked off enough, fuck off some more to be sure.

Gylen is one of my favourite swim spots.

Did somebody call... TuskEat?

A map of the USA split by state, coloured according to the threat levels from Indiana. This ranges from dark red (You are in Indiana) to grey (Illusion of Safety) for states more than three states away. With thanks to Terrible Maps.

There's always a threat from Indiana. (With thanks to Terrible Maps @terriblemapshq.bsky.social )

Have a cracking evening Dread.

Presumably she's looking to get a buy-out and head across to The Onion.

What was the Facilities Management team at Ulster FM called?
