A post by someone named Noah Revoy: Women need the boundaries of the patriarchy and a mission in life which is usually a husband, children and home. Absence such structures they malfunction and destroy civilizations.

Is there a dating app to meet these women because malfunctioning civilization destroyers is kind of my type.

This is how you live a life

Just saw that Xing Zhilei, the Chinese DIY influencer, posted an update on his self-built cat town which went viral last year.

The Winter Olympics condom supply ran out in 3 days. Athletes have thoughts According to Italian newspaper La Stampa, free condoms at the Winter Olympics ran out in just three days.

The Men In The Turnip Field: an old Somerset story collected in Kevin Crossley-Holland's Folk Tales Of The British Isles.

The best one page ghost story ever put to paper.

I was walking through Grand Central with my 14 year old son and I made the 6-7 hand gesture and he said "I can't wait until I'm.old enough to go to the city by myself."

The rare gold foiled wrapped, hologram tagged, embodiment of the reverse Betteridge's law.

Not to be smug but I've always done this (for some reason I hate the feel of polyester etc) but I've noticed it is getting harder to buy 100% wool or cotton. Fortunately I only buy clothes when my existing stuff falls apart!

too many kids today have never destroyed the family PC with sketchy downloads

Something compelled me to make this

No I don't want to "quickly hop on a call with you". I want to bump into you at random on a rain-lashed heath, nod at you in silent mutual admiration as we watch a buzzard gliding smoothly over a dramatic chicane in the river, then get the fuck on with my day

Abolish the Home Office

Today’s mood:

“You can’t just block everyone you disagree with” sweetheart, I’m a leftist, I block people I agree with.

*sigh* here we go again. Your phone is not listening to everything around you 24/7 for advertising purposes. *If* you have voice activation on for the assistant, the mic is listening for the activation phrase: the processing power for listening for a single specific phrase is much lower.

My friend Rick was over here from Manchester, staying in my spare room, last week. Rick didn’t leave his home city for the first time until 2022 and didn’t even know what a donkey was until 2019, when he was 58, but now that he’s been to Devon, where I live, a few times, the pollution-coated twat thinks he’s William W***ing Wordsworth. “Slow and dreamy, the cow is the tortoise of the field,” he announced to me pompously on Friday. I didn’t reply, as I dislike confrontation, but the dude was talking utter shit. When properly motivated, British cattle can move at speeds of up to 65mph, as can be witnessed in our annual village Milk Race. Here a herd of Jerseys are challenged, over 18 miles of varied terrain, to beat a quad bike, normally driven by Sue who runs the post office, and Bill, a former Olympic runner who lives in the old mill. As usual, this year the Jerseys came out on top, leaving Bill (far right, in his customary Parisian designer denim) pathetically wheezing and crooked, although as you can see some of the herd’s progress has been impeded by their investigation of the cottage to the right, having heard the distracting opening bars of Paula Abdul’s 1988 hit ‘Straight Up’ coming from an open window.

I have now lived in the British countryside for most of my five decades on earth, within which time I have come to know it well. I thought, for newcomers to the place, I'd write a short guide to some of its more interesting aspects. You will find them in this thread.

I suppose it's time to mention again that I was at uni with Suella and she was not the brightest of the Class of '98. She was also sick on my staircase once after a big night and I got her a glass of water. Well, time keeps rolling by.

you’re mad about trans folk existing? Okay well the king ritually fucked a horse, shut up

Idk I kinda think we should bring beliefs like this back. Tell them we gotta fix global warming asap or the Leviathan will escape. We gotta sacrifice another billionaire to the ocean or the harvest will be bad and food will get more expensive

"They've radicalized the Massive Cock subreddit" I say to no one in particular while my wife fills out divorce papers

Two possibilities here.

1) this chemical activates random floating shapes in your vision but connects them to the person-recognition pathway, so you identify them as tiny people

2) this switched off the bit of the brain that stops us from seeing Them

come on now...
