Late to this party, but it’s a three-fer…

I was on the tube (London subway) heading across London to catch a train to meet up with some friends.

I was a bit distracted so only noticed we were at the stop I needed to get off at after we’d been there for 30 or so seconds and the warning beeps had started.

#1. I darted for the doors which closed when just my head was through.

#2. The driver admonished me over the intercom: “Can the idiot with his head in the door pull it back so we can proceed.”

#3. (Delayed). The tube is fucking filthy. As were the doors. Which had left black marks down the sides of my head and neck which I didn’t discover until three hours later when I finally reached my destination and my friends told me.

Loving ‘wizardacious’.

An orangutan and some otters.

Well, shit. I’m 55.

Monk was passing through. Some villagers saw him pissing on a statue of Buddha so they grabbed their pitchforks and went to pitchfork him. “Show me where Buddha is not, and I shall piss there.” said the monk.

Strong and milky, like my women.

In the 1950s men ruled the home, earned the money, and were kings of their castles. Since then gender rules have been torn up and rewritten. Women have carved out new spaces for themselves with the support of allies. But there hasn’t really been a new consensus of what a man’s role is any more. The result being that lots of men see their domination being eroded by the new order of things.

Shitstains like Tate prey on this by offering stupid but simple answers or solutions. “It’s not your fault that you’re a failure, it’s the [random mysogenistic term]'s fault. It’s them, they’ve done this to you. They’re cheating your out of your rights.” It’s the same rhetoric as Hitler blaming the Jews and Trump blaming immigrants and Musk blaming the ‘woke mind virus’.

It gives young men an out. “This guy’s winning at life and owning the [random mysogenistic term]! I should do what he does!”

“Sometimes, at the end of a sentence, I come out with the wrong fusebox. And the thing about saying the wrong word is a] I don’t notice it, and b] sometimes orange water given bucket of plaster.”

I think we can all take something away from that.

This comment looks AI. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few AIs in my time.

Cooked lunch for the whole family-in-law. I did carnitas (plus a chicken version), tomatillo salsa, red coleslaw, guacamole, shredded lettuce, a sort of California style taco sauce, black refried beans, and served both soft tortillas and hard taco shells.

We all ate far too much and then the kids started on the chocolate. Just like Zombie Jesus would have wanted.

Shits and giggles.

Second best TV show ever!

Different people like different things and that’s awesome.

Came here for Buffy. I remember the film which was entertaining fluff, but then the series came out and almost immediately I hated it. But all of my friends loved it. Every so often one of them would try and persuade me to give it another go but everytime they did it was always by showing me the same fucking episode (‘Hush’, I think it’s called) where no-one speaks.

I guess I just don’t enjoy looooong series which are more soap opera than they are story.

This is absolutely the correct answer.

English, French, German is three.

Oh, also Scottish, American English, Australian English, New Zealand English, South African English, er… Canadian English, Irish English, Singaporean English, oh, and lots of other Xian English where X is one of the various African countries or islands of the Caribbean that use English as their official language.

Call it another 27 or so.

And they say maths is a language, so 31 total. What do I win?

Transday - to piss off the bigots.
