Bluesky makes me feel even more isolated and alone than The Dark Place, but at least there aren't as many wankers and fuckwits here. I think my time on social media is coming to an end.

I'm weeks away from a major life crisis, and it could so easily spin out of control and end in catastrophe. I can't see a way through, this time.

This is probably the same werewolf the Army drove out of Carlisle, last December. Brave of the Daily Star to address the lycanthrope issue we have in The North. Let's hope this leads on to a focus on tackling our dragon problem?

The Buggles were only 15 when they recorded Video Killed The Radio Star?

I'm suffering from malnutrition, and probably scurvy, too, arrr. Five weeks without upper teeths has limited my diet. Man cannot live on Tunnock's Tea Cakes alone. It turned out @geoffnelder.bsky.social was right again!

Monkey.

Why do physically gorgeous people get such unwanted attention and constant critiquing from the Universe? Sometimes I wish I was plain, like the rest of you, and that science-based bastard would just leave me alone.

I'm thinking of selling all my worldly goods and investing in whisky, because of this attractive you woman standing in front of whisky barrels, in a shoddy, lazy, bafflingly odd AI command to create something to fool old people with.

Curledplay are performing two concerts in Hull. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

1) They should not be arresting minors (6 & 9). 2) They should have a way to get the 6 yo cleaned up because they FUCKING TRAUMATIZED HIM WITH A FUCKING GUN. 3) They are basically sentencing a 6 yo to death because he can’t get his treatments. That is where we are with immigration policy.

Roger Waters was accused of antisemitism for wearing a leather trench coat, as he has for decades, performing The Wall. Sir Bob Geldof also wore the same costume, and he's fine. Waters was simply ahead of the curve. Now we feel the same as him? Not antisemitic. Anti-IDF. youtu.be/W7-gCg4GFpc

It's often pointed out that there's no toad in toad in the hole... but what if there is? What if we're being lied to? #HoletoadTheory

"Turd in the hurl" is how people from Hull say toad in the hole. Doesn't sound quite as appetising, and it was already a wrong 'un.

Just when you think Humanity has emptied Pandora's Box, we give it another shake and another existential threat falls out. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“You… shall not… PASS! Prrrrrrr.”

Trump may have actually done a very good thing - and that concept is weirding me out.

Why are trousers pluralised so often? Dungarees, jeans, slacks, flares... Because there are two legs? Do the people who invent these words think, if we ask for a dungaree, we'll get only one leg? I don't get it... And now I'm 'word-blind' to dungarees. Surely that can't be the correct spelling?

Nobody's really going to have fun on the Moon until spacesuits are made of a flexible lycra-like material, allowing for starjumps, and NASA allow their astronauts to say "Wheeeeee!"

Kate Shemirani - the gobshite antivaxxer 'nurse' from the pandemic - killed her daughter with her bullshit. A cancer that she had an 80% chance of fully recovering from, and her mad upbringing meant she tried coffee enemas, rather than chemotherapy. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Terrible things are happening in the world and nobody stops them. That’s the short summary of the human race.

"While in hospital receiving treatment for lupus, Jasleen realised that instead of trying to fix herself using social media hacks she had to stop, take time out and get help." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"And the worst, most incompetent, most corrupt President in history, is going to drag us into World War Three." - Donald J. Trump

So appropriate, once again:

I heard people commenting, this morning, that the US administration did a good job in making sure there were no leaks - for this ultra top secret military operation. Yet... Trump left the G7 meeting, and let everyone know what was going to happen, unintentionally? Iran just cleared Fordo out.

We’re watching a modern war play out because of stories about a supernatural being that favoured Israel, which pre-date the Iron Age. Israel are being supported by a group of people who have their own version of this millennia-old fantasy. Where is God/Jehovah, now? Not present. Doesn't care.

This is the Bill Hicks joke, doing his Jack Palance voice, telling the guy in the Wild West town to pick up the gun he's just thrown at his feet... ... so he can shoot him, fairly. If Iran hit US targets, now, they will be at war with the US. They are *expected* to capitulate.

Prime-time war is a real thing. 8pm Eastern Time.

I have to be honest, when I found out those four mercenaries denied they committed the murder, I just trusted them, without question. #TheATeam

Fricket: A non-tedious version of cricket, played with Frisbees and dogs.

Let your body settle. Let the ground hold you. There’s nothing to do. Nothing to fix. We’re just listening for echoes...

It's a scorcher down on the English Costa del sol today.

This is a MOP. If this were dropped on London, from 50,000ft, there's no place even in the Tube network that would be safe from it. These shelters undoubtedly saved lives in World War II, during the Blitz, but we learned our lesson and simply developed better bombs? Foolish species.

I hope the first person who ever flies into the Sol System's asteroid field is an obsessive Star Wars fan.

The world's going to go to hell because of two Massive Ordnance Penetrators (MOPs). These are dropped from 50,000ft, and are the closest things to a man-made, weaponised meteorite strike we've got, so far. I think this is going to go tits up, as we say in the UK. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GBU-57A...

Trump has pranked the world media by pulling this news briefing on his 'mass-exportation' drive, when they were waiting for a war to start.

"The Gestapo are courageous heroes. They have the Führer's full support!" - Caroline Cabbage, for Donald Trump

Advice to Fly Tippers: 1) Wait until the fly is asleep. 2) Gently nudge it. 3) Laugh when it falls over.

"Frankly, you know what? I don’t give a flying fuck, alright? You think I give a shit about your tears, your bullshit, your 'Ohhh Rhett, don’t leave me'? Get the fuck outta here with that melodramatic crap. I’m done. Go fuck yourself — I’m takin’ the dog." - Rhett Butler's Cousin Tommy

I like that Star Wars has a cheerful, gay, statistically-obsessed, autistic pessimist in it.

How did the landmass of Iran manage to get to the top of the hospital, without being noticed?

I saw on TV an Israeli woman who supported her government, and that the Iranians were clearly attacking civilian targets, whereas Israel only went after military targets and never targetted civilians. Literally the same day the IDF shot 41 Gazans for joining a food queue.
