@aral @gunchleoc Good point! Just signed it for Ireland.

I have deleted the toots in which I disclosed too much personal information (prescription, inside leg measurement, choice of toothpaste etc) but thank you for your sympathy.

@skinnylatte You might find this interesting: https://mstdn.social/@Nickiquote/114345735867444301

My kid has started saying “[x] is a social construct” to get out of anything and everything (eg: “wearing socks”), and I’m having a hard time arguing back because they’re usually right.

“At long last, we have created the Coronation Chicken Scotch Egg from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Coronation Chicken Scotch Egg.”

“At long last, we have created the Wotsits Mac n Cheese from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Wotsits Mac n Cheese.”

“Rihanna debuts baby bump at Met Gala” is the kind of headline that makes me wish I’d never learned to read.

Off to see A Minecraft Movie this afternoon. Concerned that chicken jockey audience banter is going to upset my non-neurotypical kids.

Pondering whether I should go to the cinema in one town rather than another because of how chill or otherwise those towns tend to be.

Mussolini was killed by Italian partisans (communists) 80 years ago tomorrow, 28 April 1945.

After learning of this, Hitler killed himself on 30 April 1945.

They do die, these bastards. We should celebrate that.

You know what they say, one rotten apple means all the other apples in the barrel are sure to be entirely fresh and should each be trusted with positions of unaccountable authority, unrestricted access to special category personal data and a monopoly on violence.

@CrypticMirror I was just thinking of Mostly Harmless, with the Vogons buying the Guide from Megadodo for that purpose, much like Musk bought Twitter.

Adams at his most depressed turns out to be the most prophetic.

@KevinMarks @halfempty Elon’s just this guy, you know?

@halfempty Fundamentally, he does not know where his towel is.

@selzero Sometimes I wonder if Grimes is being performatively ignorant for the attention. He is a pure grifter, after all. But as you say it was deleted so it seems to have been a genuine mistake that even a small child would be embarrassed about.

Four things you must always ask yourself before you say anything:

1. Does this need to be said?
2. Does this need to be said by me?
3. Does this need to be said by me now?
4. Would it be fucking funny if I did, though?

Without adapting a video game, how could screenwriters possibly have come up with the idea of… *checks notes* …a road race?

“I did not go viral on Mastodon” does not mean “Mastodon eschews virality”, sorry.

Maybe you should try posting more about creme eggs up bums and whinging less.
