Suspending Erin Biba, a Jewish woman for this skeet is nasty work. Between this and intentionally misreading Link’s use of a meme as a threat, bsky mods are more than willing to ban based on the Spirit Of The Law for *some* posters but never Jesse Singal.

In the context of patriarchy, I guess any attempt by a straight man to say 'I couldn't keep up with her' can also very reasonably be read as an attempt to vilify and humiliate her for having a libido at all, let alone a stronger one than his. But we're reading an awful lot into very few words here.

That may be so but this seems more about an imbalance of libidos; if one person wants sex much more often than the other does, that's always a problem no matter how the genders fall. The idea that straight men aren't allowed to not want sex seems pretty problematic also.

Grand Declarations, by Rob Corcoran & the Necessary Evils 11 track album

Doesn't quite count but I will get this - robcorcoran.bandcamp.com/album/grand-... - if my own Bandcamp Friday can cover it. Not linking that as this isn't and shouldn't be for self-promotion. Rob's great, especially if you're in the mood for sweetly sad singer-songwritery.

Grand Declarations, by Rob Corcoran & the Necessary Evils 11 track album

This #BandcampFriday, if you like good songs and fine music, my suggestion is to go check out this album by my ridiculously talented friend Rob Corcoran: robcorcoran.bandcamp.com/album/grand-... , which For Reasons, hasn't actually been released yet but is temporarily available for the duration.

Streaming live music again. You should know the link by now, I've posted it enough. See you there or not?

New! Cassetteboy vs Keir Starmer.

This took absolutely ages, so if you'd like to buy us a coffee at ko-fi.com/cassetteboy we'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

[Scene is a 19th century drawing room with a sign outside saying TRANSPORT INVENTORS CLUB. Inside, the German Engineer KARL BENZ is addressing a meeting of gentlemen about his new transport idea]

1
KARL BENZ:
OK guys - you’re gonna love this

2
KARL BENZ:
So it’s like, a box made of metal that goes at up to 120 miles an hour, yeah?

[Karl shows them a diagram of a car]

3
KARL BENZ:
And your drive it down one side of the road, and the boxes going the other way go on the opposite side, so we don’t need to build two roads!

4
OTHER GUY:
What’s down the middle?

KARL BENZ:
A white line.

5
OTHER GUY:
So like, a white barrier…

KARL BENZ:
No a white line. Drawn on the floor.Β 

6
OTHER GUY:
And who’s piloting these machines?

KARL BENZ:
I was thinking: random members of the public.

7
[Pause, the other guys all look with concern at Karl]

8
OTHER GUY:
Karl are you OK

KARL BENZ:
No listen it’s fineΒ 

9Β 
OTHER GUY:
You know we’re worried about you, don’t you?Β 

KARL BENZ:
No really it’ll work -

10
KARL BENZ:
Once hundreds of millions of people have died and the world’s started ending because of the fumes it’ll all be normal.

11
OTHER GUY:
Is that normal like the β€˜commuter travel device’ you brought in last week which was just…

12
OTHER GUY:
 …an iron maiden fired from a catapult?

[The other guy displays a diagram of an iron maiden being fired from a catapult]

KARL BENZ:
THAT WOULD’VE WORKED!

Someone has sent me a chat message, but I can't read it without giving my personal details to some untrustable half-assed piece of OSA-compliance jank, which isn't going to happen, so if that's you, please contact me by other means. Either way that message is just going to sit there forever unread.

You can't joke about anything anymore. Because you signed a multi figure contract with the Saudi government that said they wouldn't pay you if you did.

Every day is #musiciansday when you're a musician! But as always please check out my #music site at https://sockpuppet.band/ and maybe enjoy my tunes and stuff. I have so much stuff in so many different genres, too!

I'd be surprised if it didn't. I'd be even more surprised if there's a single soul in Parliament who is aware that operating systems other than the Big Two exist.

Forgot to post about the stream this evening. Oopsie. Oh well.

In other news, I've sorted out a better place to put the room mic so the sound is generally a lot less crappy. Which is nice.
