Not long now until the final “whump” from this exceptional thief.

When I was briefly high-profile during the Atheist Bus Campaign, I had a full-scale nervous breakdown.

So I don't know how Taylor Swift copes with global superstardom. The threats on her life have become so serious, she now uses special tech to weed out dangerous stalkers at gigs.

Here's my piece on why, despite all the riches, adulation and awards on offer, you really don't want to be famous. arianesherine.substack.com/p/w

@neonbubble Oh, the bees knees: a helical chocolate straw capable of (mostly) withstanding a nice hot cup of tea for a bit, before melting into deliciousness from the inside out. Totally unique in its class of utilitarian confections.

@neonbubble They're still a thing?

I'm still traumatised that they kiboshed the Spira...

@davep Not if you were wearing the equivalent of a helmet for your nether regions.

@davep Dunno which is worse: being shot in the head or shot in the crotch while doing a flip.

Mentioned it just to say that I’m coming from a place of ignorance so won’t quite appreciate their artistry, although I have heard “Where the Streets Have No Name”, mostly because it was the 80s and I am forever stuck in that decade.

@rjblaskiewicz I must admit that I am utterly unfamiliar with U2 and their oeuvre, despite their superstardom.

@neonbubble I have a memory like Dr Theopolis where that is concerned.
