Tiny bird supremacy.

(Was a good day for birbs yesterday; think the tiny ones deserve some attention).

Both of these friends followed me a good way down the track. Very likely because I was stirring up insects, but it at least *feels* adorably friendly.

Can MI5 just "Diana" him already?
Sick of hearing about him, and due process will takes decades.

Its wild to see members of the PLP say 'we simply wouldn't have won without McSweeney.' Lads, you were shooting fish in a very small mug. A magic 8 ball could orchestrate a win over 2024's tories. The reason you are facing an existential crisis right now tho is McSweeney.

A mate told me about a mad night out when they all got shitfaced and went home with KFC.
They all puked and fell asleep.
Their dog ate the leftovers, half a shoe and the puke but didn't touch the KFC gravy...

Feels like it was "brought to you by the oil industry."
Some of it's watchable.

Wish his dad had pulled out

The little fascist cunt needs to go right back to prison.

Charlie Kirk is on record saying Black Women “do not have the brain power to be take seriously.”

UCLA fired me because I posted about not being sad this bigot died.

Line-up for the TPUSA Superb owl Half Time Show looks lit.

Apophenia is: “the human tendency to perceive a connection or meaningful pattern between unrelated or random things.”

Once you know about it, you see it everywhere.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Watching France and Spain go after X: The Everything App, and it’s great and it’s a thing that was obviously coming. Every revolutionary communication tech comes into existence, it takes off and then people misuse it and when the people who grew up with it enter politics they understand to legislate

Man goes to Grok. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple.

The LA Times writer covering my illegal termination from UCLA texted me late last night:

“Wait, you’re not related to John M. Perkins are you?”

This happens often. Hopefully he includes mention of my family’s legacy of civil rights activism.
