Does anyone else in their 50s just not recognise the way 50 year olds are portrayed in the media?

They are always portrayed as grey haired dodgers nearing retirement. Who the hell are these people?

This has got to be the clumsiest headline I have ever read. Well done, BBC. 👏

Nigel Lawson has died. But despite the overwhelming evidence of science, for balance we’re going to talk to somebody who says he hasn’t.

I’ve lived in Scotland for over three decades now. I *still* don’t know what “the back of <hour>” actually means.

I've decided to fight injustice by stealing any outdoor infrastructure that isn't wheelchair accessible. For the moment it's more of an aspiration, though — so far I haven't taken any concrete steps.

I’m a little concerned that The Wife™ is going to be more enthusiastic about the helium-filled balloons than the actual gifts I chose for her birthday. 😬

Now I’ve had coffee:

Good morning, Mastodonians. I’m glad you’re here.

Somebody believed the words that came out of Paltrow’s face? That explains the success of her “wellness” grift, then.

Taking the littlest one to the V.E.T. for her heart scan this morning. I’ll hold your paw all the way, you brave girl.

UK politics

Great. Cut myself shaving right under my nose. Now I’m having to sport a piece of tissue paper as I can’t find the styptic pencil and I look like a geriatric Hitler.
