Bread AND circuses? In this economy?
It's kind of ridiculous. I'm 51 years old yet I still have my lunch with a side of sliced cucumber, as a grudging nod to vitamins etc, like I did when I was a child

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Sometimes good things do happen. This prick is even more vicious and poisonous than the reports suggest. Good riddance and fuck off.

A group of ghosts, including a caveman, haunt a noble house. In the basement, packed closely together, are many nameless spooks.

Yes, got it in one - that's from Terry Pratchett's novel Wyrd Sisters.

No-one:

Me: "Pintsize" is an odd concept. I mean a pint is quite small, on a human scale, but on a drinks scale it's actually pretty big! I mean I know you can get steins and stuff, but really it should suggest "quite big for its kind" instead of weeny

The only time age is augmented by a fraction is when children are very young or pets are very old

I've realised one reason I can't stand Banksy et al - when art is a joke (even a good one), every time you see it it's like the artists is simply repeating the joke over and over, so even if it started off as clever and funny, it quickly feels desperate and annoying.

Today's unsought advice: if you love an author's work, and they've written a memoir, don't wait till they die to read it.

The moment any article or conversation about anything tangentially related to fashion tells me what I *should* be wearing is the moment I decide I loathe the person writing or saying it.

Being a music snob is so unfulfilling, and I was one for years.

I love half a dozen of these songs and would happily trill away to twice as many. What a strange opinion.
People need to stop retconning literally the worst era in American popular music history into something it wasn't, just because there were also some amazing records that like 250 people happened to be hunting down and listening to

SURELY we don't need to keep using the word probably in situations like this?

Obviously farfalle because they don't hold sauce and the middle bit is always undercooked (fusilli also suck)

@wopadons.bsky.social any interest to you? Or even to Darren!
AFC Wimbledon fans - this is a bit niche, but does anyone want a rather dusty framed picture of Darren Dobinson? #AFCWimbledon

Just tried this, and despite question 20 being "does your character wear a bikini" it correctly identified Benjamin Netanyahu 😯

Not saying I'm getting prematurely into the Halloween spirit, but I just accidentally spelled the surname "Wood" with four O's

I got the world's most grudging acknowledgement in @mhairim.bsky.social's second novel!

I don't want *a* cup of tea; I want *the* cup of tea, the cuppa that manifests arbitrarily every 50 or so cups that somehow tastes of all the wonderful things you think about when you think "tea"

I hope I shuffle off after the kind of life Jilly Cooper had, and I hope my pals on the internet talk about me like they're talking about Jilly (this is not going to happen).

Still, at least I've always got this:
