Folio Society edition of Democracy In America with a £20 sticker on it.

Elon should have waited a few months. He could've bought democracy for a lot less than it cost him.

So looking forward to the Notts gog this Winter.

Even neofolk bands are more cryptic about their beliefs.

Here is Gregory Bovino, the man in charge of ICE agents in Chicago.

Sylvia Plath Day - Worldwide Weird Holidays Sylvia Plath Day - October 27, 1932 - birthday of poet/author who killed herself - strange unofficial holiday brought to you by Worldwide Weird Holidays.

Sylvia Plath Day - The Bell Jar was banned in IN for its "themes on suicide and overt rejection of the woman's role as wife and mother." Attempts to ban it elsewhere are ongoing. www.worldwideweirdholidays.com/sylvia-plath... #sylviaplathday #suicideprevention #weirdholiday #worldwideweirdholidays

"Fuck your unseasonable joy!"

Nigel Farage is colluding with anti-abortion groups in the America to roll back women’s rights in the UK.

We won’t stand for it. The Liberal Democrats will not let allow Trump’s America to become Farage’s Britain.

"Dogs cross the street to avoid me."

Any of the pride flags make me feel safer than the ones up around here and I'm a cishet white male!

Wow! They really don't care who knows anymore.

Do not shine torches into the sky, lest They come.

Instead of spending £75,000 on flags, including outside hospitals, just spend it on the hospitals, you flag-fucking, vice-signalling pricks.

Picture of the Lost Boys soundtrack CD

Charity shop find. Not passing this one up for a quid! Worth it for track 8 alone. #lostboys

I don't see many of them realising that they could be wrong, about anything, really.

If your goth night doesn't play this or Snake Dance, is it even a goth night?

Bonus gothPoints if it plays both. Double if it plays the extended versions.

Probably going to put up Russian flags.

Going to ask Open University if they have a course so I can be a "Collagen Scientist".

It comes around too quickly 😞

Enjoy! I've got to give it a miss this time. Already got fomo.

Ultra Sunn US CD cover depicting the two band members

Rylan in a leather jacket

Mystic Meg with a crystal ball

For comparison. I think the Meg one is off but Rylan... Fair.

Someone saw my laptop playing Ultra Sunn's US and commented that they look like a "young Mystic Meg and Rylan doing a Depeche Mode cover" and now I can't...

They should stop paying their council tax, they'll get loads of letters then.

Exactly. AI as a "Daemon" that can suggest efficiencies to your code or help debug seems fine but outsourcing projects to AI is ridiculous and far from secure. It makes my software engineer's brain itch.

Humans, it is time for that friendship to end.

Workplaces should absolutely allow you to book hours off not days.

My son could when he worked for the NHS.

I'm lucky in that my workplace doesn't really care. If we need an hour here or there, we just do the thing, it's accepted and nobody cries to management about it.

"BE NOT AFRAID!"

UK government tests their LGBTQ+ Proximity warning.

If it went off, that means there is an LGBTQ+ person within 50m of you.

If it went off and there was nobody near you and you're CIS, well, helluva way to find out I guess.
