This is a perfectly justified block. If you were in a public place and a complete stranger walked up to you and started interacting with you in an overly-familiar way you'd wish that there was a way to block them, and on here there is.

Writers, 1930s: Should I fight in the Spanish Civil War against the rising fascist menace? Writers, 1950s: What can I do to avoid being blacklisted? Writers, 2020s: Would my cat and Miette be friends?

Can somebody who is into Gunpla tell me what I need to be able to get rid of mold lines, nubs and cut marks? Don't be all 'well there are several options-', just post a link to a thing that will make it so my giant robot space bastards look good.

Only just discovered that the illustrator of Wilhelm Reich's final book 'Listen, Little Man!' was William Steig, who created Shrek.

Has anyone noticed that violence has stopped working? It's impossible to invade and conquer a country, propaganda of the deed barely makes it onto the news, terrorism just makes whoever you're terrorising terrorise you back. Feels like we should maybe change our behaviour because of this!

Rowling knows as much as anyone else that Amnesty's apology was insincere, but that for all her money and power she can't make people respect her or her ideas. I hope that thought feels like a splinter in her eye.

This has really pissed me off, if you're in the area and can afford it go and give the cafe owner some money to help fund the kids meals. And if he refuses buy yourself a nice coffee and tip him as much as you can. Fuck Reform taking food from kids in need. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Unlike you woke crybabies in the Islington chattering classes, I think that we should adapt to a hotter climate. Here's an unrelated article about there being flies everywhere. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

‘It makes you feel you’ve got a really dirty house’: what’s behind the UK’s plagues of flies?From Leicestershire to Carmarthenshire, neighbourhoods are struggling with wave after wave of houseflies. Why are they suffering while others are spared? And is there no alternative to nets and zapper...www.theguardian.com

I gave Gary Stevenson a bit more grace than maybe I should - I knew that he wasn't coming at things from a more theoretically grounded position, the 'I'm the best tradah evah' thing was grating, but I thought fine, he's pushing in the right direction. Perfect is the enemy of the good and all that...

You know how the best part in Wish by Nine Inch Nails is where it goes all silent for a moment? Why can't somebody do a whole song of that?

Any time I see a noteworthy house listing, oh has @oldenoughtosay.com seen it yet? "Extensive entertainment facilities" indeed. www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/9...

There are millions of people who are sociophobic to the point that they will ruin (or even end) the lives of complete strangers rather than be made to feel like they are extending sympathy to somebody who doesn't deserve it. During COVID this tendency had a seven-figure bodycount.

Apparently we just need to eat more veg and go outside. 🙄
