At this stage, even The Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is looking at Suella Braverman and saying "that's a bit much, mate".

Please spread this word far and wide it is the word the world needs now
Have just invented the word ‘turtlage’ for being schooled by a turtle and I am simultaneously impressed and horrified by myself.

If the world is still habitable in 2040 when you turn on the news it will just be two people saying “fuck you” to each other back and forth until they cut to a commercial.

Good morning - I hope you slept like a bird's-foot-trefoil-stuffed dingy skipper - I'm starting with ‘Winter Hare’, Bruno Liljefors, oil on canvas, 1908. Part of our Winter/Christmas card 2023 range.

So my dad’s got an enlarged prostrate and I told him it was because his junk was too powerful for the rest of the operations down there. Muy macho!

Has anyone found a way to auto-magically import the people you were following on Twitter to BlueSky? I’d found so many amazing writers and artists, but I am not punk rock enough to type each of their 5000 names into a search bar.

not an original thought but bears repeating: half of writing is just being allowed time to sit on your ass uninterrupted and think about things really hard until you puzzle them out, which doesn't look or feel like work at all. but it is!

You know what’s awesome? Zappos. Zappos and being able to order shit at Target and have them just bring it all out to your car and load it in your trunk for you. If I could bottle Zappos and Target Pickup, I would drink that shit night and day. I need to develop a Zappos/Target cocktail.
