I just saw a wonderfully appropriate description of the women who were sent to "space" in the Bezos dildo - "The Space Barbies". 🤣🤣🤣

Am I stupid, or is it ridiculous to call the sending of a third rate woman singer to space (barely) for 10 minutes "an inspiration for women everywhere"? For Murphy's sake, we've just recently had a woman land from a months long stay on the ISS.

Yep...

And then, on threads, there was this masterful reply to a MAGA POS...

Covie @covie_93 Follow Imagine calling yourself the master race and have to resort to erasing the achievements of minorities to make yourself feel better

😂 Deity level shade being thrown here...

The rain begins again, with lightning which keeps on tripping my mains - ensuring that when (if) my power returns on after 4 hours of loadshedding, it's going to be iffy. 😡

I can't blame the ANC for the rain, but the loadshedding is definitely their fault. Everything the ANC touches turns to shit.

Word of the day is ‘arsle’ (19th century): to have a distinct sense of going backwards.

NO. Just no...

My finger is sore from all the thirst trap blocking I've been doing. Not to mention the maggats.

Yeah, that's what I do over on threads, but most of these folk have more than 20 followers, and none of them seem like scumbags, so I'm a little torn. I think I'll leave them unfollowed for a bit to see if there's any activity and decide about blocking in a week or so.

So, I've had a bunch (OK, a few, OK, 5) people follow me on BlueSky over the last day or so. Problem is, they have no posts, or replies, or profile, or anything else that would give me an idea of whether I want to follow back or not. I think it's probably going to be "not".

Quote from a book I'm reading - "unlike good communication skills, sarcasm is essential to the fully functioning adult".

I quite like that.

Mostly, I can cook. Some days, I can't. Today, I managed to burn oatmeal porridge in the microwave. Sigh.

Mahler would be too grand, this has been an evening of quietness.

My evening of listening sadly to Marianne Faithfull led into Amy Winehouse, meandered through Tom Waits, and finally, as always when I'm down, to Leonard Cohen. I think I'm all sadded out now.

This is the latest recording of the song I could find. Voice mostly gone, yet the magic still shines through. So long Marianne, I'll miss you...
