Are we living in the age of apathy, where the absence of empathy will define whatever *this* is

Dolly Parton was one of the very best people to have lived in the last century and we were all so privileged to share it with her. Few people have ever made such a wholly positive impact on the world in their lifetime or will leave such an astonishing legacy. Plus, she was absolutely hilarious.

I reckon the anti-horror might be about calling out to correct every single incorrect fact (fact is key) from your mum, friend, workmate whoever, that in lovely times you might eschew. NO. QUOTE FACTS IN THEIR FACE. Zero stupidity tolerance

Eldest daughter graduated yesterday with a Civil Engineering degree & by fuck I’m proud of raising a person who has achieved that, especially as it’s not my field. Her motivation was “I love concrete, and lime for restoration” & off she went

Heatwave status: seeing anyone on TV wearing a coat cos it was not filmed today, and thinking “what an absolute sweaty twat”. Lost all perception of the concept of being chilly. Winter? No physical memory

Look, Americans, British homes aren't designed with air conditioning in mind. Our architecture values other things: heat retention, space management, trapdoors, automated breakfast-serving mechanisms which can be operated by a literal dog

I remember the famous picture in that episode of The Unexplained magazine, featuring what was left of a granny and her zimmer frame on the tiled floor.

Any Reader’s Digest kids remember spontaneous human combustion (man in a puddle except for his socks)? Unless this is how actually it happens, please MSM stop the relentless anxiety-inducing panic. Said as a fretful climate change believer

Many women have been horrifically killed here in the past 5 years, including at least 7 who were stabbed multiple times, and their deaths did not receive statements from the PM, debates in the commons, or global news coverage. Nor were there any riots, or condemnations of cultures by politicians.
A picture of violence: The 30 women killed in more than four years
In at least 21 of the 30 deaths, the killers - or the suspects in their killings - were well-known to the women.

Binged #TipToe after episode 3 cos it built such tension, I couldn’t look away. Even though you were shown in the first mins of ep 1 what happens, the hope for intervention at many steps is what has stayed with me. Incredible writing & cast. RTD’s fury articulated is outstanding TV

Fell thigh deep into a bog in Watford age 15, two friends had to pull me out (one of them wet themselves laughing) & yet people still say quicksand was a silly thing we worried about. The comics were right! And I had to get the tube home

Total lack of interest in the ‘Bristol explosion’ from the shouty racist/anti-trans “protect women” brigade now the facts reveal yet another woman was murdered by an ex-partner, cos he doesn’t fit their agendas. Joanne Shaw deserved better protection

Anyone complaining about breakfast clubs has never paid more for childcare than rent/mortgage to keep job times, which enables parents to progress at work which further supports their kids to be employed & pay tax. If being a cunt about food for kids isn’t enough
