I had surgery last week and even though it was on my tum its my brain that has gone entirely to mush.

Watching "Black Orchid", DOCTOR WHO, Season 19. It's weird specifically because it's so small and grounded. The relative lack of weirdness, in this context, makes it _really_ weird.

I know exactly what I want my wordpress site to look like. It's so clear in my head. But I can't push through the choices about hosting that I need to make.

TFW someone you know needs a good talking to, but you haven't got the spoons, and you know they wouldn't listen anyway.

It's just a word for a semi-perment Central Asian tent and there's nothing funny about the actual thing, but the word tickles my brain whenever I see it. Now I have it out of my system.

Not enough prominent people are calling this out and too many politicians and journalists in the mainstream media keep doing this.

Refugee = not illegal immigrant
Refugee = not criminal
Refugee = person fleeing persecution or conflict

This is a matter of law, not opinion.

AI made their stupid fucking commercial.

You are no artist if โ€writing promptsโ€ is your idea of hard creative work. What you are is a fucking imbecile and a hack. What you are is someone so unable to create youโ€™re straining yourself at the inspiration stage aka the 1% of effort that goes into it.

'Dr Beth Upton is the real winner in the Sandie Peggie tribunal ruling' NHS Fifeโ€™s handling of the dispute between Peggie and Dr Upton was an absolute dumpster fire but Dr Beth Upton should have cause to celebrate.

So a former member of Farage's campaign team in Clacton (who was expelled from the party) says they lied about how much was spent on Farage's campaign in 2024, and submitted fraudulent election returns. This could be interesting, especially since the story has broken in the Telegraph.
