Seeing a lot of Liberals disappointed with Rory Stewart recently, which is funny because he's always been a piece of shit, on a account of being a member of the Conservative party

Very funny that every TCG has to come up with a new term for 'tap' because Wizards has the word patented. Oh, I've 'rested' this character, have I? I've 'exerted' them?

Eagerly awaiting January 2026, when The Powers That Be finally bring back sour Starburst. All they need to do then is bring back sour Fruit Pastilles and I can die happy

Gotta be real, I don't think making Wesley Streeting Prime Minister will make things any better. In fact I think it will make things substantially worse

There's a lot of talk about how Twitter is cooking a lot of media pundit's/politician's brains, and that's obviously true, but I think Facebook is doing the same to 'regular' folk - just had a look, and it's nothing but ads + news articles with the most reactionary comments you've read in your life

Things are generally looking pretty bleak, but the news from America that Zohran Mamdani won the NT Mayor position is genuinely heartening. He's going to be opposed at all turns by the President and even his own gutless party leaders, but you have to believe!

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

I remember not picking up VTM: Swansong because I reasoned it wouldn't be Bloodlines 2. Now Bloodlines 2 comes along, I grab it, and it isn't Bloodline 2 either! Can't catch a break
