Someone knows their cock rights.

Oh no, I get you. I think we are a similar age.

I was at the Reading Festival in '96 and I think offspring were playing.

There was a slightly older guy stood in the middle of the crowd shouting, you call this punk… This ain’t punk. This ain’t shit.

The kids were laughing at him.

This week in Glasgow Green Day played a gig and all I saw was middle aged men and their daughters wearing matching merch t-shirts.

I’m assuming at some point I travel back in time to '96 to try to stop this.

She may be a Puncke: for many of them, are neither Maid, Widow, nor Wife.

Damn, you really old.

That’s a fair question.

The arts are seen as a luxury and a frippery. They are also seen as elitist.

If you want to defund public services and remain popular, the playbook is to remove the arts first. That way you are demonstrating the order of needs.

You can’t defund social welfare programmes without defunding the arts first. To defund healthcare you have to defund the arts. To defund schools, you first have to defund the arts.

You know where this is going.

The arts are the canary and it is lying dead at the bottom of the cage.

Adore the daektable gang.

I once made a music video for Sony Universal.

They paid me £4k.

They liked it a lot and asked if I would do another. I asked if the fee was the same and they said I’d be doing it for exposure.

I told them I’m capable of exposing myself.

I stuck it to them.

I’m still poor, but at least I’m not working for it.

Mate, it’s just one accent. A mono-accent across an entire country. People from Glasgow and Edinburgh sound exactly the same… Can’t tell them apart. And if you go to Wick, right at the top, same. It’s wild.

I don’t want to have to add a /s but I just know some fud is going to comment “well ackshurly”.

Love how this story grows arms and legs. It was actually a Jimmy Carr joke that folk pretend was real.

…we didn’t start the fire…

Hey maybe we can have a clusterfuck of our very own!

Pretent

Before you tent.

Foretent.

I mean this in the most positive way… I don’t believe you until you can show us how you did it

The image is lovely, but easily faked. I’ve been taking photographs with weird things for years and I still can’t get my head around this.

Show and tell and you have my adoration.

I’ll wait

Edit:

"> For sure.

It’s a canon Lide 30 scanner at its core. You have to remove the light source (a tiny RGB LED) and a pinhole array from the front of the sensor. Then I used a dremel to widen the slit the sensor looks through, to deal with some pretty severe vignetting. The optical assembly is made from foam board, gaffers tape and an acrylic lens liberated from a regular magnifying glass. I use a software called VueScan to perform the actual scan."

Yeah. That’s pretty cool. Have the adoration you crafty fox.

I get it. We can’t buy houses, we can’t afford groceries.

Admittedly my parents couldn’t afford a house and we often had to skip on groceries too.

But as a kid of the 80s, the thing that gets me is how these memes seem to ignore inflation entirely.

Yes those numbers are lower but so were wages.

And of course we can can talk about real terms wage stagnation, but poverty is timeless and the 80s were an awful and unaffordable time for a lot of people.

But yeah. Sure.

And yet he’ll still get votes.

Whilst I’ve been waiting for this day for ages, it gives me no pleasure to realise it means very little.

Well, yeah, but we are going to need a couple of monocles.

Yes, do this if you want your work to have the same feel as every other writer who runs their work through an llm.
