Yes! I remember swimming in sewage in the same place. Of course I was young and didn't realise I was swimming in sewage until my mum stood on the shore line screaming for me to get out of the water. When I did every part of me that had been in the water was covered in red spots. So we went to the first aid station and they said they'd had lots of people come to them with the same problem and they've been trying to get someone to stop people going in the water while the sewage is still there. Who knew sewage was a bad thing to swim in?

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

Quotes below from this long read, which is a good one:
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/may/18/the-rubbishscapes-of-essex-why-our-buried-trash-is-back-to-haunt-us

quote:

“I just leapt into the darkness thinking I was going to land on solid ground,” said Cliff. Instead, he found himself up to his waist in slime. After a few moments, his skin began to burn. He had jumped into a caustic slurry, dumped there by a pharmaceutical company based in Dagenham. “That led to me spending a week or so in hospital and many, many weeks after that invalided indoors with great burns to my legs and on my face,” said Cliff.

Cliff’s parents, knowing their place, never sought compensation.

quote:

There were certain people Spencer saw regularly “sitting in a toxic hole” eating sandwiches after digging like a mole into heavily contaminated earth with no gloves on. “‘Well, I’m fine,’ they’d say. ‘I’ve been doing it since I was a kid.’ But then asbestos takes 40 years to take hold.”

Just saving up problems for the future to do things cheaply and now the future is here.

If you have to ask you can't afford it.

(Gay mansex is when the 2 Y Chromosomes touch).


An interesting study of probable schizophrenia, but I suppose we can't rule out the possibility that AJG is some kind of gaslighting maestro. After all A Jumbo Genital is definitely a goon.


On a tangent, but always find it strange when UK friends (and occasionally colleagues) end texts and emails with an "x". It seems way too sexually liberal to square with British society as I understand it.

I only know one person who ends their texts with an x if he’s texting his girlfriend, sometimes he does it to someone in the group chat reflexively and then we make fun of him mercilessly for a bit.

That feels particularly lovely because until she sadly passed away in 2019, Self's wife was a well-connected Guardian journalist and he presumably benefitted from that.

Also Chiles actually started his relationship with Viner after he was given the column.

Now Viner is a piece of poo poo, but that's unrelated to her dating of Adrian Chiles.

Has Self really fallen off the deep end since she died or something? I remember reading one of his books about 20 years ago and thinking it was fairly well written, but anything I've seen from him recently has been a deeply pretentious psychosexual nightmare
