Had a full night's sleep for the first time in a long time. Not feeling like death is a revelation.

They got away with changing the name from John Menzies and got drunk with power.

This is irrelevant news but I want to put it somewhere. One of my childish hobbies is playing Rimworld, and for the first time since I started playing it years ago I finally got the little fuckers to get into a ship and leave the planet. This makes me happy. You get a little song too.

Every chess game I play with my son ends up like this. Everything is trapped, and I lose because I can't keep in my head the dozens of outcomes for every move, and so make a mistake and it snowballs.

Always good to see Ben Goldacre's McKeith joke evolve for the modern world.

Blimey. I didn't think they'd actually do it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cn...

I keep hearing the name Mia Goth. I have never seen a picture of her and know nothing about her, but would be very disappointed if I saw one of her films and she wasn't in fact a goth.

This goes for films. Release it on streaming first. If I like it, I'll go the pictures to see it again or buy a fancy blu ray.

I like men a lot but the more time I spend with them the more I understand why nuns live so long

It’s a shame world class fencers don’t get to kill a guy even one time

the peanut inside the peanut m&m mascot should be it’s own voiced character. his only goal is to β€œget out” of the living shell. he does so by speaking through the m&m, trying to convince the other candies to break him out, killing his host

My strongest book-related belief is that the paperback should come first and then the hardback after for people who want a fancy edition.

I spent my entire childhood with my personality framed as 'shy', and I never questioned till my forties that there might be other things going on. I didn't function 'normally' till my thirties, and it's just a framework of protective behaviour really. Don't know where this is going.Bit late now, ha!

God, I hate myself moaning about politics on here. Such an ineffectual void shouter, I am. Although my phone tried to autocorrect Starmer to strawberry which I find funny for no discernable reason.

If someone's racist, you can just say it. Gordon Brown should never have backtracked when he called a racist a racist. It destroyed his standing. Same is going on with Starmer here.

Starmer: Farage is racist and I will combat that by trying to out-racist him.

Fucking hell, metro. Do some research on your terminology.
