    Just a quiet word - as I boosted a silly joke of someone I&#39;m very fond of earlier, opening them up to a bit of a shitty take. And someone else I&#39;m very fond of posted about blocking people with shitty takes and had a shitty response in return. Let me be clear - I realise I reach a lot of people comparatively on this site - and I am not down with that sort of thing. I do not care about followers or clout. I do care about the people here. If you feel like you have to admonish people in som...

    I think my problem is that I find life so inherently ridiculous that I am unable to take anything seriously. However I recognise this is also the character arc of a few of the most dastardly villains, and that The Joker and The Comedian are already taken. The Sillyman? Oh no! Here comes The Sillyman! What&#39;s he going to do? Just be sardonic a bit I suppose.

    Successful night tonight, my chums. Very lovely to have unlocked a new level in life of going out with non-drinking male friends. Difficult to convey the alcohol culture in the UK, but you&#39;re basically indoctrinated into going out with your mates and getting annihilated on alcohol and that&#39;s essentially your whole social and personal relationships. Unsurprisingly this has a knock on effect to many other areas of your lives. Culturally it&#39;s not terribly healthy. So I&#39;m thrilled to...

    Why do young people love going out so frickin&#39; much? We get it. You love being out. You still believe the world is an inherently good place full of possibilities. You&#39;ve not yet completed The Trials or know The Terrible Truth. Only indoors is safe. Inside with the doors locked and the curtains closed. At home where the TV and the biscuits live. There are no surprises at home. You cannot bump into people. No loud and terrifying public transport. Just soft carpet and your best friend - old...

    Just had to post a letter and go to the dry cleaners like it&#39;s the 1980s. Decided to come for a coffee by myself and read my book. Strong recommend. I am an island. The waves lap at my shores, but I exist alone and immutable. I&#39;ve had quite a lot of coffee today it may be that I am wording wrong.

    Imagine if skeletons were brightly illuminated but just lose their shine as they come into contact with air. Probably why they show up so well on xrays. We&#39;re all walking about with internal high-beams on and we don&#39;t even know it. Wait is that why I always hear that fizzing sound?

    Elderly woman sat next to me on the bus and noisily ate two chocolate bars for breakfast whilst loudly watching cartoons on her phone and cackling. I&#39;m sort of horrified but part of me is like good for her.

    There&#39;s a 10 minute fight sequence in the film Atomic Blonde where Charlize Theron gets the absolute shit kicked out of her and then has a cold bath, takes a couple of painkillers and is basically fine. I had a little fall a week ago and honestly I can barely move. Once again Hollywood has lied to us. When will they make a realistic film? I vote me for the new James Bond. Just me, avoiding confrontation and eating sandwiches in the dark like a super spy. Where&#39;s Ben? Is he in the Kremlin...

    John Lewis is bullshit. I would like to vote John Lewis out. Redistribute the wealth. John Lewis is the Sheriff of Nottingham of shops. Or Christmas. I&#39;ve lost control of this metaphor.

    It is *quite* weird we&amp;#39;re supposed to believe that these giant monsters used to just walk about the place before a big space rock made all their bones go underground.

    Yet another day is upon us. Relentless. An endless barrage. A ceaseless attack. If I could stop time I would simply lie motionless on the floor for 8 or 9 days straight (and then a couple of days curled up). Then I&amp;#39;d probably just do a bunch of crime.

    Goodnight Fedi. You are - whether you like it or not - a collection of the most disparate and interesting sentient arrangement of atoms in this stupid thing we call life. For what it&#39;s worth I happen to think you&#39;re the most pleasing collection of nonsense to my fractured mind. So.... that&#39;s maybe something? I&#39;m trying to say I love you and think you&#39;re terrific. Big love and power to you. You&#39;re gorgeous. Goodnight fam. Xx

    It is DARK. It is COLD. It is RAINING. I am TIRED. I had a bad day at work yesterday which I responded to by having a bit of a LATE NIGHT. I had to go to LONDON TOWN today, which is the loudest and most terrifying place on this or any other PLANET. I cannot convey to you the depths of which I do not wish to go running. I haven&#39;t been in weeks because I&#39;ve been ill. I don&#39;t think I even remember how to run. Is that the one with the arms? Trish is basically making me go. Urgh. Stupid...

    The full Obama speech from yesterday is well worth a watch if you&#39;re not totally keen on the current administration, or simply want to be reminded of what a terrific orator he is, or if you want to hear some of the most devastating burns of all time. It really highlights just how silly some of this stuff is. And whilst one guy is clearly lining his pockets and doesn&#39;t give a shit about the people who voted him in, the other guy still fights for them, regardless.
