You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose. But you can’t pick your friend’s nose!

Women: We live in a constant state of vigilance because men pose a constant threat to us, here are literally millions of corroborating stories.

Men: What a scary time for men this is.

I read one breakdown of it that suggested Bozos would still have a couple of hundred billion left, so no. Not really soaked at all.

Not my best. The sponge is a bit dry and it didn't rise as well as I'd have liked. It's tasty enough though and I'm still going to eat it!

Feeling smug that I cashed in my Brewdog shares the last time it was possible to do so. It was already an awful company by then, so today's news doesn't surprise me. I'm angry for the workforce though, sad for what could have been a great brewery still were its boss not such an utter twat.

Yeah, Muller's nazism is something I wish more people knew about. Maybe this will help.

Hey @wendychambld.bsky.social I really hope you're fighting against this wholesale theft of Scottish creative labour in obesiance to American tech companies?

I doubt that. Reading should be encouraged at all times!

Is it too much to ask for politicians who occasionally think for themselves, too? Not simply accepting at face value every well-funded lobbyist's lie? I just don't understand how they can't see the con being worked; it's so damned obvious.
