No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

Brief bio
I’ve shared this stuff on the Meta channels (hawk tuey) so now you’re going to have to suffer it as well.

Team USA speed skaters proving without doubt that Americans cannot be trusted with ICE

I'm shocked that in Italy if you want to have referee review things, you have to give them cash.

There's surely no precedent of people giving Italian referees cash?

Watching Americans fall over in the speed skating is an absolute joy.

Watching people fall over in speed skating is always quite exciting (as long as nobody is hurt) but it's about 5x better if they're from the USA

Oooh magpies are feisty today. Is it dating season or something? After all the loud squabbling they seem to be pairing up.

I'd take a photo but you'd judge how much my windows need cleaning

Just call them the Russian athletes.

The IOC haven't banned Russian athletes just, er, Russia. It's bollocks. Call them Russian. It's what they are and who they represent.

I really like the drone noises with the skiing. It makes them sound like racing cars. Other quiet sports should have sound effects.

You could make snowboarders sound like TIE fighters for example. And speed walkers sound like steam trains.

Oh. Oh no.

I'm officially old enough that I want to tell Mia Brookes to pull her bloody trousers up.

It's time for Dignitas.

As a fucking parent TALK TO YOUR FUCKING KIDS THEN. Worried they'll see porn? Talk to them about porn. Worried they'll see gore? Talk to them about gore. Worried they'll get groomed? Talk to them about red flags and cultivate trust with them so they won't feel they have to hide things from you.
"As a parent, I am deeply concerned about what my child is accessing online. Albeit not enough to check or to install some very basic software that would prevent them from accessing dodgy material online. That's why the Online Safety Act is so important."

Gamers! We could all use a little friendship right now so I'm happy to present the Geddstation 12 Hours of Friendslop.

That's right, this Friday over at twitch.tv/geddstation I'll be diving head first into the slop bucket of co-op gaming and you're all invited.

Give this a share will ya?

Stealing some glory from the former colonies with #SuberbOwl Sunday. Sadly I have no good photos of wild ones, these are from a sanctuary.

I am so tempted to stream the "two people with massive anxiety problems play Phasmophobia" because we'd get so much engagement from non anxious people telling us we're terrible at it.

I can nearly always trace the origins of what is stuck in my head, from someone Sex Bombing on here, to me seeing 'Maria' written anywhere, to things that sound slightly like, or just the odd word or phrase.

But I cannot for the life of me figure out where Sally MacLennane has come from today.

Most of the progress of the 20th century was built on 8 hour days.

Anything more today and you're being lied to by someone.
#OtD 8 Feb 1840 began the fight for the 8-hour working day in New Zealand. Samuel Parnell (pictured), a carpenter from London, insisted on 8 hours when offered a job, to which the employer had to agree, leading to more 8-hour day organising in NZ stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1078...

Robert Maxwell would've been fine if he'd extorted a reasonable amount out of Mossad, but he had to go overboard.

Sir Keir Starmer is going to be grappling with his conscious. Which sounds like he's about to do a David Carradine over the weekend. And who am I to kink shame him?
Labour MPs & party insiders tell me they’ve never seen Keir Starmer so angry as over Mandelson’s lies about Epstein links.

But those who know him well say that anger has now turned inwards. That Starmer is, above all else, a man of public service, and will be grappling with his conscious this w/e.

My god, even when watching the Curling set in the mountains of Italy, you cannot ever escape idiots chanting "USA!USA!USA!"
