All posts are jokes, relax. Typos are part of the fun. A many splendored thing. Software. Views are not that of my employer, or, indeed, anyone else.

@UnderSneege ...I'm off to Scotland.

It's nice to find gems that remind me why I'm on here in the first place.

CONAN THE BARBARIAN is my go-to Christmas movie, and some new things really stood out to me at this year's viewing.

I want to talk about THIS moment and THIS guy.

This is the story of Red Hair.

@bnzchr ...unless it's vigilante time, in which case, postpone it until the deed is done.

[Mistachio @Mistachioesque]

@bnzchr If my wife and child were murdered, honestly, string me up.

If I'm guilty, I did it, I deserve it. If I didn't do it.... man, I don't want to live in this world.

@bnzchr This played constantly on Kerrang when I was living here back in the early 2000's. To my chagrin, I had never really heard anything of Iron Maiden, was still infatuated with electro stuff.

Helluva song, explored the discgraphy, became a big fan.

@rakishromantic @literally_chad This is more a projection of the people being polled.

@JackWDart I hear everywhere else is quite nice this time of year. Perhaps they can go there?

[Mistachio @Mistachioesque]

@AllieRenison @an0n_Nic I think this is exactly the problem. Being a British citizen ain't what it used to be.

[Mistachio @Mistachioesque]

@wylfcen @notworldlywise I know, right. I wish law enforcement WOULD use the data to decide what to actually pursue as part of their duties.

More urban youth detention, more profiling, less patrolling of social media looking for a racism.

@anzuf1 @StuartJRitchie This isn't what happened.

This is exactly the bullshit that people are talking about.

@IterIntellectus My wife never cared, but if possible, she cares EVEN LESS now that she has a rambunctious little boy to worry about.

She barely knows who Andy Burnham is. Never heard of Mrs Clancy. Palestine?

Home, job, family, appears to be more than enough to go on with.

[Mistachio @Mistachioesque]

@LemanWalters ...what.

[Mistachio @Mistachioesque]

@johnternus Are you cool? I have never been enticed by Apple. Maybe that will change.

[Mistachio @Mistachioesque]

@Sargon_of_Akkad The second part makes perfect sense. The first does not. How does only granting citizenship through marraige solve anything?

[Mistachio @Mistachioesque]

@MerrynSW But the bus fare cap!

[Mistachio @Mistachioesque]

@ClaudiaWebbe A very Captain Carrot-like statement.

[Mistachio @Mistachioesque]

@ClarkeMicah Why was Peter Hitchens ever a Marxist?

[Mistachio @Mistachioesque]

This is unironically a great use of AI.

@peterrhague Here’s the UK 10y gilt yield-to-fucked scale:

4%: fucked
5%: proper fucked
6%: utterly fucked
7%+: time to buy tinned goods

Currently sitting at ~5.2% (highest since 2008). Proper fucked.

@honorablesaint @bigswigger325 Exactly, "running" is not what they did. They pursued, at a relatively easy, comfortable gait, and they just did not stop. Walked, snoozed, woke up, and just carried on moseying, until what they were pursuing just couldn't run another step.
