Finding it onerous to block promoted ads here? Go block everyone Storescams Tracks Scam Stores! follows and you’ll get hundreds of them in one easy to find list. Although, the more I block, the more entertainingly weird the ones that remain seem to become.

I’ve been slow to realise this, but this thread has made it clear to me that, for some people at least, this whole debate is basically cover for homophobes to let rip under the pretence they care. Fuck those people. Also, the patience in the zoo’s replies show good people exist

Just look at the faces of the members in the Lords Long Room as the players head onto the pitch. This is the size of the problem English cricket faces.

Campbell-Bannerman is either a disingenuous arsehole or massively, massively stupid. Maybe both. Ah, it’s both, isn’t it? This Tory shitshow would be funny if it wasn’t the country that’s collateral damage to their bullshit. #Newsnight

I see racists are now saying that France’s supposed descent into anarchy is the fault of the EU. To be clear, does this mean it isn’t now a safe country and that people escaping in small boats will be welcome?

It’s the curl of the tail that gets me. #cat

This site is borderline unusable at the best of times. And now? Well, this guy is a genius, so what would I know about it? [heads back to mastodon].

Stuart Broad, forever not out, will no longer be batting

“Ugh, it’s fucking Christmas”, says my wife. “Oh, does that coincide with actual Christmas this year?” #Xmas

Absolutely made up to receive this in the post this morning from Scott Lavene - happy to do my bit and excited for the music to come!

I have to say, after briefly popping back to leave a message for someone, I miss (some of) the people here, and I miss what it was…. But it’s an unusable shithole, isn’t it?

Oof.
