It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question:
Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from?
The answer is more magical, beautiful and fascinating than you probably realised.

I don't blame the farmers.
I blame the Brexiters who stitched them up like kippers and the very same people who are now "backing the cause".... oh and the tabloid owning millionaires and their billionaire mates who have conned them into believing a whopping pack of lies.

Absolutely this.
Men.
This is not a dating site.
A follow is NOT an invitation to DM me or any woman.
At least 10 males sent me inappropriate DMs today.
If I wanted a sugar daddy 🙄 or an affair I sure as hell wouldn’t look on SM.
Knock it off.

Hi everyone.
The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.
We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.
We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.
I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.

The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.

Interesting to see a sudden drop in my follower numbers on TW and a sudden increase here in the last 24 hours. Presumably an effect of Trump's election, but I'm not sure what the connection is (people fleeing Musk, maybe). Anyway, all new followers, welcome: I'm increasingly posting here not there.
