I'm nerdy, left wing and unapologetic for having empathy for my fellow humans. I'm here to spread love, memes and an utter disdain for anyone who tries to take happiness from others. KushanTheCat on the old place.

Last night I had a nightmare that England won the world cup. I don't even care about football, the dread came from how insufferable people would be about it.

I don't like the "helpful suggestions" from Gmail. But looking at the Epstein files, you can see why billionaires think it's useful. Billionaires can't spell or punctuate. If only they were better at literacy and less good at sex crimes.

It's only copyright infringement when it comes from the copyright infringement area of France, otherwise it's just sparkling LLM training.

Brexit's the reverse Midas. It turns everything to shit. It can't be made to "work" so it will keep dragging British governments and British PMs down until one of them ends it.

Brian May handed me my degree during graduation.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor, her britpop theaudience era, she walks into the Good Mixer in Camden. Looks around for anyone interesting, there's no one, sniffs air, turns on a heel and exits. I feel correctly judged, as I am indeed, not worthy of even a glance.

Thank you all for your support

If the UK government was really serious about online safety they would have banned Twitter/X instead of implementing the Online Safety Act. That would've removed a major source of extremist hate but preserved small website communities and forums that offer safe aid and advice.

The sign of a good social media user is that their Post count is small and their Reply count is big. It means they spend their time participating in discussions rather than constructing zingers to harvest likes.

For once I'd love to be able to order a Domino's without needing a maths degree to work out which of the 5 million deals to use. Just lower the prices you cunts, nobody has ever paid full price anyway.

Every now and then I stumble upon a celebrity on bluesky and it makes me happy when I see they are decent people. Shouldn't surprise me that Batman is a good guy, I suppose.

This just turned up on my feed on Facebook, and I really haven't paid the guy or the party much attention, but it suddenly struck me that Polanski is going to become a significant political force simply because he speaks normally.

What a despicable thing to do, there's absolutely no reason to attack innocent people. I can't even fathom the motive for this, but it's absolutely misguided.

To shock you with my political opinions: Reform and the Tories suck and I believe in voting for whatever to-the-left-of-them candidate is likely to beat them in your local constituency, based on up to the minute polling. Watch my video where I walk around a hedge coz ooh, looks spiky.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Hey @plex.tv if you suffered a data breach, why are you "recommending" that people reset their passwords instead of just forcing a reset yourself? You have a duty of responsibility for your customers, including those who might not be able to reset anything right now.

Yeah, seriously. Joy is resistance. We have to find the joy wherever we can right now, and lecturing people who have found some brief relief from this hellscape about how bad they are is a real dick move. When they aren't hurting anyone, just shut up and let people enjoy things. Don't be a dick.

I saw someone genuinely irritated that Taylor Swift fans are having some moments of joy these last couple of days despite the horrors of the world, I want to reassure that person that when the Taylor Swift fans are done having their joy the horrors will still be there, don't worry, they can catch up

Picard: Computer! What can you tell me about the lifeform attacking the ship? Preppy voice barely audible through static hiss: A fantastic and insightful question! Now you're really thinking like a starfleet captain. This query really gets to the heart of the thorny issue of xenobiology.

If only this was a real option, then I'd stop getting aggro from folks that are offended that I dared reply to their public posts with a difference of opinion😅

just been camping for the first time in my life and i have some valuable camping advice: take everything with you. Everything in your house. Take your whole house with you and live in it. Live inside your house, at home. Stay at home, living in your house with everything in your house.

Word.

I'm having a rough go of it lately, and have been thinking: everyone is going through something, and you have no idea what it is, or how it's affecting them. Quote post this is if you're going through something, and maybe we'll all realize that we aren't as alone as we feel right now.
