I went for a nice walk by the GCR at the weekend, but I did not see any of the woke racist steam trains so I'm beginning to think that Nigel Farage may have just been talking poo poo :aaa:

I had a nice walk this afternoon, because my train broke down very conveniently at the station before the one I was due to get off at.
When the wind died down it was actually rather pleasant.

Party campaigning on 'Tough On Nonces, Tough On Trans Causes Of Nonces' in Nonce Shocker

In case it wasn't clear, obviously I am not trying to imply that I believe trans people are nonces, but what is clear is that the Tory aversion to trans rights is a dogwhistle because they believe that trans people are deviants

I went for a walk at whitby after work and fought a seagull for my ice cream, feathered bastard didn't get none of it but I am still declaring vendetta on the horrible shits.



It has been quite sunny most of the time but it was a bit driech today.

It does always feel odd that the second best place to photograph whitby from is a graveyard.

Working 20 hour days is probably very easy for people senior enough that they don't actually have anyone to call them out if they do nothing at all.

That's such a weird coincidence, I grabbed a pic of this weird-looking bugger today down on the foreshore opposite Greenwich because I was trying to work out what the hell this thing and its why it was wearing so much eye makeup. It flew away while I was trying to get closer to get a better pic:

I'm pretty sure that all the businesspeople working incredibly long hours like that are doing it with the help of their "medicinal powders", rather than because they're Just That Dedicated.

I think politicians should spend more time asleep, personally. They cause much less trouble that way.

I think rather, based on previous breakdowns of what CEOs consider "work" they are actually working about two to four hours and everything else is just what we would normally call "not work"

Exactly this. Commuting, having lunch/dinner, going to the gym, wanking time, all gets classed as "work hours" when you're a big business lad.

Agreed, I do all of those things while on the clock WFH (except commuting I spose), but I don't delude myself that it's actually work so I guess I don't have CEO brain yet
