Just been served up this ad on Facebook by an organisation styling themselves as "The Labour Party" - despite the lowest of expectations, they can apparently still disappoint me.

An odd experience on Bluesky is clicking through these trails of quoted posts and not recognising a single example until I literally get to something from more than 90 years ago. Is it like this for everyone else or am I the only one so out of touch with pop culture?

I’M HELEN STEPHENS AND I’M HAVING A PARTY AND THE OTHER TENANTS ARE THERE, AND A FEW FRIENDS, AND WE’D LIKE YOU TO JOIN US IN WISHING SO TOUGH BY THE SAINT ETIENNE A VERY HAPPY 32ND BIRTHDAY

Does Trevor McDonald still present ITV news at 10? No, apparently he presented his last bulletin 20 years ago.

One summer camp I worked at in the late 2000s the course director decided Wonderful Tonight would be the camp song on the final night, so I had to stand on stage and mouth the words, still a horrible memory.

You know when your confidence has been so beaten down by the stress of your job that you fuck up every interview for another job, then spend your Friday commute editing the unfocused mess you've made of a radio recording because your head is not together enough to even speak clearly? Yeah that.

Giving strategic advice to people you disagree with is called "concern trolling" and is considered toxic enough to be banned on most forums. So in your own words, you are going to persuade precisely nobody by doing it, even if you flimsily dress it up as a study.
