  After reading what happened in Berlin I've come to the conclusion that we need to stop tolerating queerness. WHAT? Yes, I'm serious. Hear me out. "Tolerate"? Fuck off with your "tolerating". Tolerating is what you do with something that is iffy. Tolerating means you don't like it, but you allow it to happen anyway. To hell with that. Start ACCEPTING that queerness is an inextricable part of humanity and start celebrating it, or get lost.

  "Ann Widdecomb was a great debater" Which is a great illustration of the fact that debating is no way to get to truth. You can win a debate and be utterly wrong. "People liked her" How do you separate a person from the points of view they publicly embrace? She had been called "charming" and "great fun to be around". The only way I can imagine seeing her like that is to treat her politics as "just a game" and ignore how they affect the people t...

  #Wordle 1,839 4/6* ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Funnily enough left-wordle didn't like the starting word I went for today so I had to start with a slightly different but similar word. So the two games don't use an identical dictionary of "allowed" words. #Wordle 1,839 5/6* (Left Wordle) ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 🟩⬜⬜🟩⬜ 🟩⬜⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟨🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

  #BBCNews keeps breathlessly reporting on the imminent nuptials of one "Taylor Swift". To be sure I hope the day is a happy one for the two of them but, BBC, this is hardly the Event Of The Decade. A singer is getting married and a bunch of celebs are invited. Meh. It's nice to see "good news" stories but there surely are more interesting nice things happening to more interesting nice people.

  I love my kitteh but dang she can be thick sometimes. I just went out to hang out some washing and I discovered Thebe had just caught a shrew. It was still completely unharmed and alert. Took me an attempt or two but I managed to pick it up. Shrew in hand I walk out of the garden, over to the wall, and give it its freedom and it happily scarpers away to do whatever it is shrews do. Thebe? She's still sniffing around the same spot. "Now you see it, now you don't&q...

  This day last week we were travelling back home to #Ireland from #Vancouver One of our party was carrying medicine that needs to be kept cool and the flight was going to be 8 1/2 hours. Hot tip: in the airport they sell salmon. In the bottom of the fridge that contains the pre packed salmon they store ice packs. If you ask nicely they will let you have one.

  @randahl@mastodon.social What's even worse is that a rising DOW won't even benefit the nodding dogs who voted Trump because he promised to bring down the price of eggs. And still they will think that that's great news and agree with Bondi that it's worth shitting on Epstein's victims from a great height over.

  Have you started copping on yet that shouting about how much of a gobshite Farage is is NOT going to win you votes? READ MY FUCKING LIPS You want votes? Start telling people how THEIR LIVES are going to improve when they vote for you. Pointing at "the others" and going "they're arseholes" is NEVER going to work, even if it's undeniably true.

  I may not cry a single tear if some moron one day managed to kill Donald Trump, but assassinations are still wrong so I will condemn any attempt, no matter who was targeted. Besides, I don't want the last thought to go through that man's brain to be some narcissistic self congratulatory bullshit. I want him destroyed in the polls, and raging impotently at the "rigged" system for several years, and having to watch his name sandblasted off everything, to die bit...

  @fabio I always find it wrily funny when euroskeptics talk about "bureaucrats in Brussels imposing rules". Er.... no Countries who are in the EU send representatives to Brussels. That's where our representatives get together, talk to each other, reach a consensus and agree on the rules that we will all follow. Every country in the EU is taking part in that decision making process. We make our rules together. So those who then refuse to be team members? They're the arseholes.

  Looks like the push to defederate mastodon.social is gathering pace so I'll add my voice to the chorus... I'm not an admin myself but it looks like this is happening more and more so if any of the people I associate with are on that server, maybe now is a good time to move?

  Trump is despicable. He doesn't care about Iranians who have been oppressed by their regime for 47 years. This war is a video game to his cronies and they don't care how many innocents suffer. Likewise, Netanyahu's regime is SO focused on defeating Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran that they don't care how many innocent deaths it takes to achieve that. It's diabolical. Say it loud and clear. But don't pretend you don't know that "from the...

  It's Sunday. Time for new threats just in time to prepare for TACO Tuesday. And I bet that a few "good friends" of Trump are making a killing on the stock market. Again.

  Strangely enough the answer appears to depend hugely on your political world view. If you're right wing and conservative, you need to ignore it when it urges you to seek medical help, and you need to take the advice when it tells you everthing is fine and you don't need to worry. Otherwise it's the other way around. I don't know the reason for this strange discrepancy 🤔 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyepyy82kxo

  Ukraine: elect a joker who turns out to be more than capable to drop the jokes and get deadly serious when push comes to shove. USA: elect a shameless self promoter who turns out to be nothing but a pathetic joke as soon as he is put under any pressure. Guess who made the best choice?
