"Labour sources are telling me the tussle in Islington North in London is "challenging" for them. In other words, perhaps they could lose the seat to... their former leader Jeremy Corbyn..." Hahahaha

Update: Sickos dot gif bsky.app/profile/dlbo...

Good heavens. Corbyn won.

Going full sickos over here.

Absolute classic. I sing it to myself sometimes.

BBC Breaking News be like: "Labour gains Swindon North. Labour recovers Ark of the Covenant. Labor sounds horn that awakens King Arthur."

Mom told him he couldn't trim his moustache any narrower and he got real mad.

Far-right chud in NYT: "They went about the ordinary business of life - laboring, raising children, worshipping their creator - untroubled by futile expectations of change." Medieval commoners: "I would rather the king and all kings were dead than that my son should be hurt on his little finger."

More anti-democratic thoughts from 2018 the NYT allowed this writer to exclude from his current piece. Delivered with an air of detached irony, as if he miiight be joking or exaggerating. But is he?

I assure you I cannot. :)

Like, even when I'm trying to pass as likeable and compliant, assholes can suss me.

Forensics is cop shit and thus mostly lies like all cop shit. The amount of absolute vibes-based bullshit that's been presented as "science" in a court of law would shock the conscience of Satan herself.

An autistic man was wrongfully convicted 20 yrs ago & put on death row for his kid’s death based on a now discredited theory Hospital staff judged his autistic traits as signs of guilt Read more & Sign here to help stop the Oct 17 execution of Robert Roberson an innocent autistic father #SignalBoost

Stop the Oct. 17 execution of Robert Roberson, an innocent fatherinnocenceproject.org Mr. Roberson would be first person in the U.S. executed based on the discredited shaken baby syndrome hypothesis. Act now.

To rescue us?

There was a guy selling Funko Pops from a card table on the corner across from the shwarma truck last weekend and the one I noticed as I walked by was "Kramer in Underwear". I bet that one isn't even in the book, because of woke.

@The Mountains of Sadness

Bombing in like a herring gull to say OMG I'm reading that right now and it's so good.

Yes! I want to talk about birds with you in Providence!

Look, you and I, we're both goths, we know that shit won't fly for us. But the children, they gotta learn this stuff in their own time.

Like, would I prefer that no one ever asks me how many Marilyn Manson shows I went to between 1996 and 1999? Very much yes! But the truth is the truth.

The Bug Sex Lady

Also, as a bit of an aside -- if you're like me and grew up hearing horror stories of how awful the human rabies vaccine is, it's improved a LOT over the years. My sister and her kids had to get vaccinated after a bat-in-the-bedroom scenario and they said it wasn't notably worse than regular shots.

The Bug Sex Lady

And it is not at all a nice death.

Look, I don't know anything about anything. But Chuk is a couple of degrees of separation from someone who once dated the accused author du jour, and as soon as I said "so he's been accused" Chuk finished the sentence "of some shit he absolutely did." Take it as you will.

Absolute garbage system.

Back when I was too young to buy beer, we'd do this with slightly rotten and fermented apples. Real Gallagher hours. Ah the joys of country life.

This was our friend group’s 4th of July tradition for many years.

I came to my 14 year old with a concern about social media. He literally took his glasses off, rubbed his temples, and asked: “what have the moms on the internet said now?” 😯🫤😆

Hell of a millennium to quit sniffin' glue.

Moderately Grouchy

Aside from all the people they'd already beaten and jailed to get to that point, who were (among others) the folks who pointed out how things were not going well... the beating people up in the streets, at the very least, predates the Nazis taking power.

There should be three.

A burrow owl lives in a hole in the ground... because it's hiding from JK, who is demanding a look at its cloaca.

Hey, Zin A. Rocklyn was slogging through shit and broken glass this year to get to the middle of July when she could have the refuge of being with her people at ReaderCon and Camp NeoCon this month. That rug got pulled yesterday. But we can help:

To be honest I've always believed it's something Reddit made up, because the alternative is go mad from the revelation.

Fermenting a controversy by putting my ideological opponents in a big glass jar with some yeast.
