Deeply unimportant NHS-working, non-wingnut, left-ish, Brit-Kiwi IT guy that you can probably safely ignore. Anti-Brexit, anti-hate, anti-stupid, so probably "liberal" or "woke" or whatever.

Still unabashedly love this album.

Anyone with "Proud Brexiteer" in their bio. You're proud that you backed something that made people poorer during a cost of living crisis and damaged the NHS during a pandemic? Just say you're a prick. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Am increasingly of the opinion that a large proportion of people in politics are deeply stupid.

I tell my much, much better-half that I'm romantic to her (and have been for 24 years now) on every other day of the year, and will continue to be, so Valentine's is therefore exempt and/or to be ignored. Because fuck all that.

the world remains stubbornly resistant to my overall preferences for it

Now the seagulls have found out. WELL DONE, the Glasgow Times 🙄

It's...not countering if....it's....the same stuff.

Every day, the headline on the BBC News website paper review section is the headline from the Daily Mail. Every friggin' day.

My much better half is saying that I’m hovering around “E” today and that maybe I should “cut it out”.

There's too much news again today
