FACT: Donald Trump has now been arrested more times than he has won an election.

these are almost mandatory at this point.

So Berlusconi, Italy's precursor to Trump and Johnson, has died. No tears shed here. He was a deeply malign toxic influence on Italy.

If you've never microwaved ice cream to put in your coffee because you were too lazy to go to the store, I really don't have time to hear about your fancy trust-fund Harvard MBA name-brand-groceries life in Windsor Castle or wherever.

The power of the terminal

I'm a lot like Henry II but less in the sense that I've created a cross-channel Anglo-Frankish land empire and more in the sense that everyone who loves me wants me dead.

"When cis people try to understand what it is to be trans, I think they often try to imagine what it would feel like to want to be 'the opposite sex'. What they should be trying to imagine, instead, is how it would feel to wake up and find that the whole world insists they *are* the opposite sex. That would be a much closer scenario to how it feels to be trans." Sage

For #WorldOceanDay - a recommendation:

I've been reading this book by @al_humphreys with my kids and it's not only a pretty engaging read, by turns funny, informative, serious and gripping, it also deals very sensibly with the massive issues facing the ocean, though with a light touch.
Pollution, plastics, overfishing, marine biology are all covered but never preachily*.

Highly recommended to introduce some difficult issues to 8 year olds +

Economics: Humans only value things monetarily.
Sociology: Uh, I don't ...
Economics: Humans are always rational and value is calculated by a complex inner calculus.
Sociology: Uh, Psy, can you help?
Psychology: That's not how humans ...
Economics: ALSO MY SYSTEM WILL GROW EXPONENTIALLY FOREVER!!
Physics: *drops teacup*

@morgthorak I think you might want to make sure you don’t follow me.

Because your “woke communist propaganda” comment makes me think you’re a moron of the first order.

I strongly suspect I am one of those “woke communists” you worry about. But you probably couldn’t actually explain what either of those words actually mean, could you?

I’m a card-carrying atheist, I think a woman’s right to choose is very important, I think that “well regulated militia” means that guns should be carefully licensed and not just randomly given to any moron with a pulse, and I couldn’t care less if you decided to dress up in the “wrong” clothes or decided you’d rather live your life without feeling tied to whatever plumbing you were born with.

And dammit, if that all makes me “woke”, then I think anybody who uses that word as a pejorative is a f*cking disgrace to the human race. So please just unfollow me right now.

if it's any comfort, we just need to get through a few more weeks of "uncontrollable wildfires" season, and then we can sit back and enjoy "record-setting hurricanes" season and "people freezing to death in their homes" season before the fires start up again

Hell is rejoicing today because Pat's coming home!

Anyone fancy pooling together to buy a newspaper? Telegraph’s up for sale and i think what the world needs right now is a newspaper fun by a collective of union activists, cat girls, knitters and queer programmers.

You can neatly divide the GOP presidential field into Donald Trump, former sycophants of Donald Trump who Donald Trump tried to kill, people Donald Trump has not tried to kill yet and a few people Donald Trump won't bother to try killing.

Where are you on the political scale? Please boost wildly!* 😃​

(*) Yes I mean Wildly not just widely

cursed sentence

We've been through so much, with so many bad actors, that it's easy to forget that Susan Collins is still a piece of shit.
