So, we’re in Hampshire, and a police helicopter trying to locate some criminals ends up with some smoke signals in the sky that looked exactly like an enormous floating cock.

The Internet: One Pixel Away From Beard Oil
The modern internet is a dumpster fire wrapped in a pop-up ad that you can’t close because the “X” is literally one pixel wide and requires the precision of a brain surgeon to click.

Oh for God’s sake, consequences — YES, darling, we had them. We didn’t need a bloody warning label becauseContinue reading “Stupidity Didn’t Evolve — It Just Got Wi‑Fi”
Debate Beats Silence — Every time
“I am not intolerant… I am only intolerant of intolerance.” Do we spend too much time attempting to silence people… instead of debating them?
