For every "it must've been aliens who taught hunter gatherers these amazing things" theory, there were bunches of explorers who travelled to new lands to pass on that knowledge

I always maintained there'd never be a worse cunt of a president than dubya but obviously trump has proven me wrong but that doesn't change the fact that dubya was and remains a giant cunt

I will never, to my dying day, understand why someone, however pissed off, takes out their issues on people having a good time.

I never do that. I hope you don't too.

Life is basically shit for most folks. So when they be like this, let them be like this x

Niche observation likely to resonate with no one, but this bit in the hindi Netflix movie Dhurandhar has so much echo of Gary Numan's Savage album stage. I know I'm alone...

I still remember in early FB days arguing with an eloquent enough American who maintained slaves were brought from Africa and were freed within their lifetime. When I said generations were born and died in chains he simply couldn't accept it. What do they teach (or don't teach) them in schools??

I used to run an FB group for my Daily Racist site which, beyond the parody shit, made an effort to engage with racists. They were welcome as long as they expressed stance, however unsavoury, rather than insult. Each and everyone could be boiled down to "my life is shit, I need to blame foreigners"
I really believe this.

As I've said before, I believe a lot of our turn to fascism is, in fact, nilhism.

Part of that is not realising how good we have it: by the standards of the average person in, say, 1900 we've built a utopia. We should celebrate that way more.
We need more fiction about how fucking good liberal modernity is, because for all the bellyaching about it, it's a hell of a lot better than what came before, and compared to all the (horrific) actually existing alternatives.

Come to the lib side! We have fun, excellence, and basic human decency.

As a Bangladeshi immigrant who got my British passport only 15 years ago (I left it so late out of stoner procrastination) but I took the Britishness test and attended the ceremony in a God Save the Queen t-shirt and finally became British. And then, like all proper Brits, I fucked off to Spain...

Thought for the day: is it a mid-life crisis if you do what you always did, only now less often?

In my occasional series titled Things You Didn't Know about Sikhs, pretty much all the parmesan you get from Italy is made by Sikhs...
How Sikh farmers saved Parmesan in Italy
When you sprinkle Parmesan on your pasta, you probably imagine rustic Italian farmers and centuries-old family traditions. But did you know that Parmesan cheese

Schools and establishments closed in Barcelona today due to severe wind warnings. Streets clear, cafe empty. Now, I don't want to say I'm harder than the Spanish because I grew up in Bangladesh and lived in England, but I've experienced stronger farts in Leamington Spa

Big love going out to the trans community who are bound to get their unfair share of backlash from this tragic incident, conveniently moving the focus away from America's gun out of control problem...

FWI, current shit reaffirms we are balanced people. Por ejemplo:

ME: Hate fascism. Love diversity. Not really keen on centrism and Bad Bunny's music

So why can't MAGA say

Hate woke. Love Trump. Not really keen on billionaire pedophiles in charge and 5-year-olds being sent to concentration camps 😑

In dream wife left me - someone younger, more exciting, traditional insecurities... But it went on for so long, I moved into one-bed, got office job, even had Xmas dinner with him for sake of kid. I swear years went by. Never been so happy to wake up to find none of that was real. Morning everyone x

So Epstein operated a sex-trafficking ring for weak men.

Glad we got that sorted.

I'm not the biggest fan of Green Day, can hum a few of their songs, but their fans are amazing. Check out this audience singing Bohemian Rhapsody while waiting for them to come on. Stick with it till the bounce!

Re: #KillAllBillionaires When a person can get anything they want, whatever they get stops being exciting, and so their needs become more beyond the pale (buying a stolen painting, eating endangered animals, going to space) and their desires more perverse (fucking children)
