Hello new people! If you like words I write, BOY HOWDY HEY do I have good news for you, bc I write words a LOT, and many of the things I write are free for you to enjoy at point of use - or otherwise pretty cheap to buy.

It’s funny how no one writes about the genuine concerns of people who live in cities, like concerns about their country turning into a far right hell hole
Looks like Die Linke have done tremendously well in Berlin today. This is the best of the exit polls (26%), but they're still on 24.5% in the lowest of them. Hopefully the Greens will have pushed the AfD into fourth too.

Discworld Noir, no question
What's your "origin" video game?
Most gamers have a lot of favorite games, sure, but there's always one that basically 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 you.
I'm talking about the game that flipped that little switch in your brain and made into a life-long gamer.
So, which game is 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨?

OK, now that it doesn't look like I'm snarking at any 1 person in particular (bc it's been a few this week) lately I've really embraced the habit of, when a rando starts scolding for something I didn't say due to misreading/misinterpretation/making shit up, simply replying 'I didn't say that though'

They weren't in last week, so we had to order them. Looking forward to reading them both. And, Cursed was signed! That was unexpected - and a proper signature too.

I bring worse news. That poor woman who lives in Piddington & who @vicderbyshire.bsky.social interviewed after that ridiculous election has had her address leaked to Tommy Robinson & the Pink Ladies & she’s been doxxed by both of them.
Wtaf is going on. These people all need to be proscribed now.

‘If we give the fascists a little of what they want, they’ll be satisfied’ is a demonstrable, frequently exploded myth, yet is somehow also the basis for almost all social democratic politics in 2026.

Dying in the Solent bc you and the lads took Dan's Dad's Jetski out without checking the weather and Hilarious Nigel The Legend proscribed the RNLI
This should be the moment people finally realise that Farage has turned them into fascists.
If you’re choosing this dangerous inhumanity over the rescue work of the RNLI, you’ve lost your minds to racism and hatred.

There has been a noticeable lack of serious reaction over Turkish persecution of LGBTQIA+ community from the global community. As in many other countries, Türkiye tries to mask persecution by claiming being LGBTQIA+ isn't illegal and then using "obscenity laws".

Tealin's Cabin Pressure art constantly lives in my mind. Her interpretation of Martin is so different from other Martin Fanart and so RIGHT.
Rest in peace Stephanie Cole, known to many for her role in DOC MARTIN, but best known to me as Carolyn Knapp-Shappey, she of the sharky grin at MJN Air in the wonderful BBC radio sitcom CABIN PRESSURE...

Enjoying the extra detail that Alton Towers has reportedly closed its "David Walliams World" "attraction". Imagine that hellscape. Apparently it's "near the Dark Forest", which tallies
