It's really impressive how much they're loving up the vaccine. It really does feel like the second dose is never going to become available at this rate.

It's a shame Captain Tom is on his diseased family world tour and couldn't appreciate the display.Jose posted:everyone who works at the spectator gets slowly lowered into the giant blender I saw this posted on Twitter with the observation that the goal of the right now seems to be joining the ranks of 'cancelled' people, even if they've done nothing of note and no one knows who they are. It's basically the new 'deplorable' I guess.

There has to be some material to write a book on the Habsburgification of the ruling classes of England in particular, just having spent their entire lives surrounded by people paid to tell them they're the big brained smart people while being completely disconnected from reality, their only skill being selling off public assets for a song and whining in articles.

I started 2021 with (as expected) a raging headache and diarrhoea. What I didn’t expect was that diarrhoea coming back at my in the toilet and bath  my new year’s day walk was just trying to find a place that would sell an industrial strength plunger. Here’s to the new year!

Pfizer must be pissed, we're going to make the vaccine look useless because we can't follow basic instructions. And the idea that having one dose of each is acceptable is insane. They tested these vaccines under very particular conditions. Anything that isn't those conditions is literally untested. And I'm pretty certain that 'one of each' was never even considered for testing.

That IDS quote really does piss me off. To him, the opportunity to screw others out of the value of their labour by being a 'buccaneering trader' is a good thing? gently caress you for endorsing the kind of vulture capitalism that screws over everyone else (technically any capitalism I guess) What a great island we're becoming when that's considered the best way forward for the youth of today. World first in loving other people over! Huzzah! Aspirational! Johnny foreigner will never see it coming! We're so smart! Utter bastards.

Meanwhile "defundtheBBC" is trending on twitter because racists are upset by the BLM fireworks, "Sorry Jess" is trending as FBPE types body her for writing an article trying to say we're all in this together now after everything she's done, aaaand "Little Prick" is trending because Brewdog are trying to choose a name for the free promotional beer they'll hand out to people who get vaccinated at their premises (if that happens) Ahh 2021, off to a good start.  Is Twitter always like this? It's honestly the first time I've sat down and read it for a bit as I'm knackered after sanding my walls down to get ready to paint them.

I once saw IDS on the tube and told him he was a murderer with blood on his hands. I’ve honestly never seen someone not react to something so well. I was right next to him and said it loudly and he didn’t even flinch or glance in my direction. I was genuinely quite impressed. It must happen to him a lot.
