I had a Tesco delivery this afternoon, the driver said, " I've got a couple of substitutions for you, here's your rosemary and haddock".
I said, "this is neither the thyme or the plaice".

They want to wipe out almost a third of the country. It’s got nothing to do with illegal immigration.
It’s white nationalism pure and simple. They’re fascists, and there’s no reason to doubt it.

Is it a good or a bad thing that I look at the coverage of the New Year Honours and my first thought is to be relieved not to spot any outright Nazis listed? The King seems to have done a better job, in that respect, than "Labour" and the Tories did when appointing their new Lords.

Next time someone says they don’t have to apologize for being white anymore, ask them to tell about the most recent time they were forced to apologize for being white and who made them do it.

Kind of wild how the take that some of Trump's supporters were "deplorable" was some huge scandal, but regularly screaming about "radical left scum" is just a thing he'll say with no media backlash.

Me watching a video called "AI Bad".
YouTube: "Hmmm. Maybe this video is about AI. I should show him an ad for an AI scam."
Advert: "Are you an idiot who wants to make an app but doesn't know what an app is? Our AI doesn't know what an app is either but you won't find that out until after you pay."
