Apparently it’s literally in the standardised tests… that’s what’s causing the problems! 😉

You can’t eat the brain.

Shouldn’t

I’ll take a personal day. Maybe I’ll watch, maybe I’ll just slob on the sofa, we’ll see…

It would almost be funny if not for the whole “fate of American democracy” thing.

Sure, the Democrats are Doctor Evil and his minions. But the Republicans are literally Hitler and the nazis.

Vote accordingly.

Because they think they’re helping stand on other people’s necks, and that’s just fine in their book.

Then they act all surprised with the “I never thought the leopards would eat my face!” when it happens.

You’re a transphobe and an asshole. Got it.

You’ve had your shower thoughts, everyone is telling you why you’re wrong. At best your ideas are from the last century. At worst you’re just a troll. We can’t make you get with the times or summon the smallest amount of empathy for other people, but we can shun you for your offensive attitudes.

Again, you’re basing all of this on your opinion of what a woman is.

And you’re wrong. It’s as simple as that.

Why? Because it makes you feel better?

I think they know themselves and what they need better than you do.

Why can’t they just be happy being a male and just wear feminine clothes?

My god, you’re a genius. No trans person has ever tried “just being happy” with how they are. They put themselves through the misery and surgery and social stigmatisation, when all they had to do was “be happy”.

I bet you could solve depression too, if you put your mind to it.

Counterpoint - if people don’t need to take crappy jobs just to afford food and shelter, those jobs will have to provide better pay and conditions to get employees.

Also, if more people can afford to get further education, you’ll get more doctors and engineers and high skilled workers, because they’ll be able to do the training instead of getting several minimum wage jobs just to support their families.

I’ve said it before - any society that can afford billionaires can afford to feed, clothe, shelter and provide basic medical care to all is members, it’s just choosing not to.

America, no!

What?

Sorry, force of habit

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it

I’ve seen stories about this. If it’s so hot it makes someone else ill, but you can eat it, you’re fine. If you maliciously make it too hot for anyone, that’s apparently unacceptable.

The revelation will place Lord Cameron and prime minister Rishi Sunak under intense pressure because any such legal advice would mean the UK had to cease all arms sales to Israel without delay

Fucking do it…

Oboe. Close enough to what I already know, but the double reed would make it an interesting challenge.

If practicality, storage and transport were magically not an issue, then the harp. But I’m temporarily playing a contra-bass clarinet and that thing is a beast, so I’d not pick up large instruments going forward.

1990 to 2010 is 20 years. In film terms, that’s a massive age! That gets you from Back to the Future Part 3, Batman Returns, Jurassic Park, Tremors and The Hunt for Red October through things like GoldenEye (in fact, the entire Brosnan Bond era!) the entire Star Wars prequel trilogy, Leon, The Fifth Element, The Matrix, Swordfish, The Bourne Identity reinventing the action genre, Blade, Fantastic Four, Batman Begins, Iron Man all the way up to Salt, RED and The Expendables. Jesus, a quick Google reminds me that Inception was 2010.

Christ, I feel old now.
