You know how the Conservative Party is "the party of law and order" (oi, no laughing at the back!) well it just occurred to me that they treated the referendum result like it was legally binding (it wasn't) and international law like it wasn't (it was).
I have a truly shit take on the whole Elon Musk thing, which I'll reply to this, but don't come at me, yo. I get the bigger picture, I really do, but ...
I say we end capitalism. Like, immediately. It's killing the planet and it'll be the end of the human race, probably. That said, without the Infinity Gauntlet, I seem pretty powerless bringing it about. If I'm gonna have to live in this late stage endgame hellscape...
then I have to accept billionaires are going to exist. They're insane psychopaths, all of them, but we seem to lack the capacity to change the system that they have now mastered, to the expense of us all.
Thoughts of unbelievable excitement aside (and getting tweeted by the LEGEND that is Danny John Jules) I'm actually going to spend my day MAKING something
I bought a dice tower off eBay.

Everyone looks
But not all see
The endless
Possibility
And with that seeing
Thirst for knowing
Where the truth
Is hidden, blowing
Settled dust
From buried gems
And fashion from them
Diadems.
Then grow to meet
The occupation -
Make a royal
Proclamation
“Stop and take
An extra minute
See the world
And all things in it
With the wonder
Age dispels.
Touch the sights!
Hear the smells!
And after that
Set pen to pages,
Write the keys
that unlock cages.
Occasionally for different reasons, people trawl through my timeline (I've been on this site for 11 years, so that's a fair bit of material) to find stuff that they can take offence at or inspire offence in others with.

When I was a stand-up and a younger man, the culture on here was much darker and edgier. I made jokes about race, sexuality, politics... everything.
You may not like those jokes. You may find those jokes offensive or upsetting. And if you do, there's a very good chance that I hadn't thought about them or the subjects they covered enough.
The answer, btw, is that his supporters just like seeing pain inflicted on people they hate, so as long as he keeps doing that, they'll keep waving their BoJo flags.
But the witlessness of their leader and his clique tells you everything you need to know.
They aren't FOR him
They aren't FOR anything
They simply want to see ordinary, hardworking people suffer.
