I have never killed anyone.
I'm always getting my Japanese and Spanish mixed up. No wonder they don't like us.

Everyone else still gets to look at them, you just don't get to choose whether some 12 year old girl has DD or BB bazookas. For that, $

Yes, but what we don't know (I commented on the article but it's unanswered) is the extent to which Reform voters were always like this but previously Conservative and/or non-voters vs how much they have become like this, e.g. because Reform gives them permission to hold racist and other toxic views

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

While looking up that episode, I was reminded of another excellent one—"No Special Duty"—about how law enforcement are under no obligation to protect the public from harm, the context for this one being the #Uvalde mass shooting.

I watched the clip and love his reaction to "here comes the dream re-telling" which doesn't involve eye-rolling.

Add @darioperkins.bsky.social and the TS Lombard Perkins vs Beamish podcast to your feed, they've been saying the same thing for ages, too.

I nearly wrote "addressing loneliness", but—of course—social media is as much a source of loneliness as cure for it.

Ten years since I left Facebook.

The answer to the question "would the world be a better place with or without social media?" has only become clearer in the interim.

The credit column has banter, memes, funny cat videos, connecting lonely people

The debit column has *waves arms at all this*

I mean, I'm Gen X, and use it, but it would be quite a stretch to say I'd fallen for it.
