Can he please be charged for the noncing too

what is a writer? a miserable little pile of unpublished secrets.

Sometimes I get a little upset when I live in a collapsing dystopia for many years

And a truly abysmal one at that

Watched Predator Badlands today. What in the male loneliness epidemic was going on there?? Disneyfied nonsense.

Far-right thug Tommy Robinson flees UK after police warning over terror threat Far-right thug Tommy Robinson took to social media this evening to proclaim himself a 'priority target' for ISIS, adding he had fled the UK after receiving a call from Bedfordshire Police

Fighting age man flees his homeland to seek asylum on overcrowded island.

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018. How did I do it? Blacked out lines CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP. There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

This is blackout poetry to me

Happy birthday to our sweet, gentle, mischievous girl 🤍

Literally!! And how she took their shit for 'losing' the map, when one of the boys had actually thrown it in the river?? Just say you hate women and move on JFC

Just watched The Blair Witch Project for the first time since I was a kid, and wow, some of the reviews are just DRIPPING in misogyny. These men see a 'hysterical' 'demanding bitch'; I see a young woman trying to keep it together (and taking the blame) for the other two dickheads.

I'm considering this just now. I run a homelab on an old Windows laptop and need the functionality (might roll back to Windows 10 though), but I could probably switch my work laptop to Linux.

Look, I'm a hater of generative AI. But harassing authors for unconfirmed use of AI in their books, particularly marginalised authors, has got to stop. Meanwhile you're all still using products by the companies that scraped our books for profit. Behave.

Peter Mandelson issues secret notice demanding press leave him alone – read in full LATE on Friday evening, this notice was circulated from representatives of Peter Mandelson, via press regulator IPSO and the Press Association news…

The author is a TERF, sadly (also the ending sucked!)

I don’t know why Rowling is being treated as a hero for paying tax just like everyone else. Everyone who works pays a proportionate amount of tax. Same when these celebrities give to charities when it’s peanuts to them. People are too easily impressed by rich people doing the bare minimum.

I'm sure you've checked out all possibilities, but in case this isn't one of them, you can let it lapse to a free domain which just has [dot]wordpress[dot]com in it. Not ideal as you'd also lose some functionality, but might be better than it disappearing completely!

One of the most disgusting, brutal and unpunished child‑abuse networks in the world…

And the usual voices who claim to care about ‘women and girls’ have nothing to say.

We see you.

Oh I didn't realise that either! It'll be interesting to go back to his books via that lens.

(Love how he's described as 'openly gay' — bet nobody was ever described as being 'openly straight' 😂)

I bet he’s sweating now.

I haven't read any John Saul in years, so I wouldn't like to say how they've aged! I'm going to try to get my hands on them again this year though

Same! Such an incredible book. Her short story in Out There Screaming is fantastic too.

I don't think I ever read The Fog when I was younger (my mum preferred John Saul over James Herbert), but reading it now, it was fine, though very much of its time

@vpatis's January 2026 reads The Reformatory A Wrinkle In Time The Haar Model Home The Fog Ask for Andrea Sugar Out There Screaming

My January 2026 reads, starting the year off strong! #booksky

Me! But all I've seen on there is AI slop and porn 😭

Shot and chaser from new Epstein batch

Ooh this looks fab! I'm local so I'll try to come along, if we don't get snowed in again 💀

Absolute dogshit meme

The creativity of the Stranger Things fandom has far surpassed that of the Duffer Brothers because what do you MEAN the inconsistencies meant nothing??

It's surprisingly not *too* cold — I think the snow is insulating the house! 😂

Your username is very apt for this snow 😂 are you getting any at all? We're due more today and tomorrow!
