I like to use big words to sound clever.
I only listen to The Mountain Goats.
Big fan of English Literature, not so much a fan of the current state of democracy.
Kier Starmer's most fearsome opponent.

I know this is uncomfortable to admit, but there is a small area in England's second city where people are just not integrated with the rest of society. Many of them hold views that arguably go against British values.
Yes, we need to talk about the Tory conference in Manchester.

I'm feel like I'm really missing the capacity for malice that I should have. I'm unable to plot and scheme. If I continue this way I will never defeat my opponents.

Surely people can just AI generate their own stuff with this AI "actress" in it? Why are talent agencies trying to represent it? Surely for a filming to go really well the actors on set need chemistry? CGI is one thing but editing in a lead actor seems ridiculous.

🚨 NEW | Anti-trans hate group "Green Women's Declaration" have been formally barred from Green Party conference.
The group sought a stall at conference, but their bid was denied by the party. Green leader Zack Polanski recently affirmed the party's support for trans rights.

When I reach the kingdom of heaven I hope that God gives me props for being so pragmatic and reasonable in my agnostic atheism. Maybe he'll even hesitate before sending me down.

I read an ancient article by a guy talking about Camus' The Stranger saying Mersault was "a Christ-like figure for our schizoid times" and, hear me out: what if I'm the new Christ figure for our schizoid times? Could we hold a vote? Can we elect a new schizoid Christ? A 21st Century Schizoid Man?

Hey so living in the middle of a historical turning point and a time of instability is cool and all but could it wait for like 5 more years? I'm not ready and I need to catch up on sleep.

The anti-"separate the art from the artist" sentiment leaving my body when the art in question is Ernest Dowson's Fin de Siecle poem 'Non sum qualis eram bondae sub regno Cynarae':

Ok but what if instead of "add to cart" it said "add to kart", and when you tap on the little trolley it starts zooming around the screen and doing wheelies and donuts.

We need to change the number 18 to be pronounced like 'seventeen' and vice versa, because 17 can be rhymed with in so many more contexts than 18, so as a result you can't sing like 20% of all rock music without sounding like a pedophile
