Since I have no intention of giving an American Red State my ID data to use fucking DM's here because of a puritanical and short-sighted British law change, if any of you want to keep in touch, I am on Signal as Cat Vincent (catvincent444.23).

Carrie Fisher runs in to George Michael in heaven and says to him "I'm a huge fan of your work, I have all your albums except the first one"
George replies "I find your lack of 'Faith' disturbing".

The wise children of Hookland are prepared in a ways no Cub Scouts ever are. They hold in their heads a dozen false names - Charlie Dazzle, Jo Planter, Bobbie Anchor - to give to any Faery who demands one from them. For names are powerful and tricky things. - #CLNolan #FolkloreSunday

You wouldn’t stand up in a cinema a shout: “I know where that was filmed!” It would be filthy manners. Please don’t do this is Hookland. We respect the fourth wall in the county. My DMs are open if anyone wants ask where a picture was taken. Replies publicly breaking the fourth wall will be hidden.

American food standards are genuinely grim, both from human health, environmental health, and animal health and welfare perspectives.
Your fact of the day:
The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that one in six American citizens suffers a food-borne illness annually. In the UK, the figure is one in 132.

Toying with muting “traitors” and “traitor” as I don’t watch the programme and it dominates my timeline on here but also don’t want to miss the happy moment Nigel Farage and his cronies are rowed under this arch to meet their fate.

I'm not smart enough to fact check all this, but it sure is interesting reading.
A very long and important THREAD -
The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.
And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.
Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

'I constantly look in the mirror and remind myself I am a bitch. I am Donald's little Bitch Boy and I do everything he tells me because that's what bitches do.'
Keir Starmer: "I constantly remind myself that 24/7 our defence, our security & our intelligent relationship with the US matters probably more than any other relationship we've got in the world and it would not be in our national interest to weaken that in any way"

I’ve been through the desert on a horse I THOUGHT had no name because SOMEone neglected to introduce us CHERYL.
I’ve been through the desert on a horse with a man’s upper body where the horse head should be. He kept telling me his name was “Chiron” and that he was a “sen-toor”. Jesus Christ, can’t a guy get through the desert without having to make small talk with some weird horse?

In distraction news, my sister and I watched Wakanda Forever. It was good.
Funny thing, though, they gove the origin of Namor's name as Spanish for "no love"
He basically named himself "Involuntary Celibate."

Some people out here like "oh but they said he wouldn't be captured but he WAS captured" but all that means is that the thing the Peruvian shamans predicted actually went WORSE for the guy it was about, so I'm fine with it

If nothing else, a tanking economy, nihilistic imperialism, blatant and violent racism, truly appalling aesthetics, bungling OPSEC, shambolic AI brainrot messaging, and an egomaniac, demented president makes fascism look truly unappealing to anyone who’s paying attention.

The really funky thing is that language is shaped & affected by sensory-motoric feedback. We have unfortunately got a mass of different things we mean when we say "emotions", and they're not all the same thing AT ALL.
Interesting research being done with folks who have "impaired" motoric function

Passing the (modern interpretation of the) Turing Test is easy-ish because language is a RECENT HACK on the human nervous system that's probably less than a million years old (while notochords go back up to 600My ago). It's just high level glue logic on top of a mass of submerged complexity.
