  • Nazi Terfs Fuck Off

    Terfs = Nazis wtaf is going on in the world? Zionist Nazis, Terf Nazis, Reform/Restore Nazis, plain old Nazi Nazis.  Why have we let fascists become so fucking emboldened?  If you meet a Nazi today, online or IRL, please just remember to scream “FUCK OFF YOU NAZI SHIT!” into their ugly faces. 

  • It’s SIMPLISTIC!

    Please stop saying ‘simplistic’ when you actually mean ‘simple.’ ARGHGH “This is a simplistic solution.” DOES NOT MEAN THE SAME AS.“This is a simple solution.” The first is a criticism, the second is a compliment/boast. Yes, I’m a cranky old man.

  • A Timely Chortle

    This is what it feels like lately. Meanwhile, the SD cards I use in my cameras that used to cost £14 are now £38. The exact same card.

  • ARGHHHHTRON

    No, #Elektron, you go ahead and put your MIDI patch receive toggle under the Sync section, it makes PERFECT sense and don’t let any spoilsport tell you otherwise.  Got to keep us on our toes, innit? 

  • Obedient Little Pets

    I mean… plenty of actual, living, human “punks” are just doing it for the money sooooo… ? And if someone is churning out AI punk, ska, grunge, all they need is ONE viral TikTok moment and they’re made. But then, I’m from the ’80s: I’ll always put a band’s politics before their music. It says…

  • Tingle Is Serious

    All of the above is beautiful. It made me tear up a bit, to be honest. In my lifetime, I’ve seen a growing attack on free sexuality, on free humanity that is hydra-headed and thoroughly inquisitorial. I feel our right to free sexual expression is being eaten away. By which, I do not mean catcalling…

  • Blockety Block

    Morrissey fan – BLOCK Musk fan – BLOCK Radiohead fan – BLOCK “But.. but.. THIS billionaire is lovely, really!” – BLOCK I skip around gaily, throwing out blocks like confetti. In 2026, please remember, you never have to engage with fuckwits on the internet. Save your energy, block with abandon. No-one has “the right” to…

  • Cultural Erasure

    As a brown man who’s been making music in the alternative scene since 1982, the racism in the scene is *huge.* And part of that is the erasure of non-white people from musical subcultures.

  • BLOCK And BLOCK Again

    Just a reminder: You don’t owe anyone the time and energy it takes you to type a reply. You are not a free encylopaedia. You have limited time and energy, don’t waste it on sealions, trolls and other associated fuckwits. Block freely, throw out blocks like confetti at a wedding. Engage with good faith arguments…

  • #WhiteSplaining

    Oh, no, I think it’s *perfectly fine* that a white man is telling a black woman just how wrong she is on racism and how she doesn’t understand it.  It’s very good of him to explain it to her, he’s so much better informed!  #FuckKeirStarmer #KeirStarmerIsARacist #KeirStarmerIsAZionist #KidStarver 

  • In Our Millions

    Hungary, the USA, Britain – ordinary people round the world are marching IN OUR FUCKING MILLIONS against our governments and for humanity.  If I was in the ruling class, I’d be hurrying up that rocket to Mars, to be honest.  FUCK #KeirStarmer FUCK #Trump Fuck #Orban #CapitalistHellscape 

  • White Supremacist Was Just Feeling Out Of Sorts

    A man has been found guilty of murdering 14-year-old schoolboy Daniel Anjorin with a samurai sword in Hainault last year. Monzo had gone into a cannabis-induced psychosis before the attack, and had killed and skinned his pet cat before heading to Hainault, north-east London, the court was told. Giving evidence at his trial, he said…

  • It’s A Sea Of HORRIBLE

    It’s teatime, I’m trying to find something to watch before my food goes cold. Something. ANYTHING.  I am met with a sea of TEAL AND FUCKING ORANGE.  Please, please, graders… step away from Resolve, go out and look at the real colours of our gorgeous world and then FUCK OFF.  #StopTealAndOrange 

  • ARGHHH SIMPLE AND SIMPLISTIC

    Why have people suddenly started using the word ‘simplistic’ when they actually mean ‘simple?’ It’s like a social media rash at the minute.  It irritates me nearly as much as ‘I could care less’ meaning they couldn’t. 

  • We’ll Definitely Be There!

    Another day waiting around for builders from 7am only to be told at 1.30pm they’re not actually gonna appear.  I might start a career as a professional ghost hunter, I think I’d have more chance of spotting my quarry.  Couldn’t work last night, all today wasted. Fucking brilliant. 

  • Stop Teal And Orange

    Every time you use a teal and orange LUT, you’re endorsing Trump. Why else would you want to make all humans into oompaloompas? StopTealAndOrange #MyFuckingEyes #MakeItStopPlease

  • All Billionaires Are Evil

    If you worship *any* billionaire, please unfollow/block me. If you daydream about hanging out with Taytay, Bill Gates or Musk, please unfollow/block me. How did we get to the stage that Smaug is now a fucking role model? Let me be clear about this. You, a lovely good person, somehow inherit or otherwise come into…

  • The Tech Priest Caste

    I had LG phones for ages, always pinging the back off to swap a dead battery with a spare I’d brought along. What, exactly, is so unwieldy about that? Don’t ever get me started on Apple’s omission of micro SD slots. ? I feel like Apple are reacting as a glom of separate organs, all…

  • Towards Bloody Teal And Orange

    Just watching #TowardsZero on iPlayer aaaanddd…  BLOODY TEAL AND ORANGE AGAIN! if I ever get my hands on these colourists’ controllers, I’m gonna stomp ’em good. ?

  • The Horrors Of PE

    (Replying to a post on Mast about PE) I hope it’s changed now but when I was a kid, the worst racists and sadists were the ones who became PE teachers. I was a kid, I didn’t understand it was abuse. I’m still angry. It took me fucking decades to recover from PE and learn…

  • Teal And Fucking Orange

    When do you think people will stop colour grading everything fucking teal and orange?  Is it gonna be soon?  Please tell me it’s gonna soon.  Cos this is more wearing than that time everything was Matrix green. 

  • It’s About FAIRNESS, Apparently

    At every school I went to, I was the fattest kid.  Imagine my chortling when I hear transphobes claim that sport is about fairness.  SPORT? PE? You mean the ritual humiliation of the fat and different? The celebration of spurious GENETIC ADVANTAGE?  Get to fuck you utter twats.  If it was about fairness, we’d abandon…

  • More Indie Whitewashing

    *sigh*

  • Ride My Blubber

    I wish people on dating sites would just say, clearly, NO FAT PEOPLE instead of pretending they’re madly into yoga, climbing or whatever.  We get it, you want ‘healthy’ but not *fat* healthy, obviously.  https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/people-who-are-fat-and-healthy-may-hold-keys-to-understanding-obesity #FatShaming #OnlineDating 

  • How Can you Shame Businesses Now?

    What I most miss about Twitter when it wasn’t evil is that I could publicly shame companies when they were stealing money from me. #Ebay and one of their sellers have stolen £80 off me and it doesn’t matter if I post it on here because nowhere now has the power and reach of old…

  • DO NOT BUY: Epson FF-680W Photo Scanner

    I am so angry. It’s my own fault, I’d seen other reports of scratches but I thought they must be rogue machines. So, I scanned a load of photos and then, in Lightroom, I noticed some weird artefacts in the same place in every photo. Yup, the Epson has permanently scratched my irreplaceable family photos.…

  • Fuck The Guardian Forever

    We are in the mess we’re in now, with #MaggieStarmer purging anyone who once coughed loudly in a non-Tory way, because of The Guardian. We have a liar as Labour leader. We have a genocide supporter as Labour leader. He makes fucking Kinnock look reasonable. I will never forget or forgive them. And every ruling…

  • Midjourney Has Got Even More Racist

    I haven’t been on Midjourney in months now, through a mixture of ethical concerns and, to be honest, sheer boredom. After a while, that whole AI look for everything gets wearing. And you can spot it, a mile away. There’s just something… uncanny valley going on. Even without humans in the images. I had a…

  • Bring Back The Blitz Spirit (Of Taxation)

    The current biggest con is the disparity between the 1% and the rest of us. Upper-middle-class people are brainwashed into thinking they’re the 1%. They’re not – they’re paupers compared to the actual people ruining the planet. The clue is in the number. The 99% us need to join together and remove 99.9% of the…

  • No Fancy-Schmancy For Me!

    So, I was trying to book a fancy restaurant and nearly committed till I saw they had a dress code which said no sports clothing / trainers. I have an abdominal hernia which means I have to wear certain types of top for comfort, polo shirts usually. And the oedema in my feet means that…

  • Mastodon Is Full Of Twats

    I posted this lol: And I got this amazing reply from a twat: Name redacted because, let’s face it, this person must have a tough enough life already, misunderstanding everything the universe throws at them. Fuck me, Mastodon is full of absolute cunts, innit?

  • Fuck The World

    How I know I’m now officially a Grumpy Old Git: I find the medicalisation of every aspect of human behaviour within a previously normal spectrum to be increasingly odious and ridiculous. And, obviously, I blame American culture and, specifically Big Pharma. The more “patients,” the more pills, the more profits. Wilhelm Reich was right: how…

  • I DO NOT Want A Lego ‘The Lady Vanishes’

    SO – I bought Hitchcock’s The Lady Vanishes on iTunes and was appalled by the crappy encoding. This amazing film was rendered into a blocky, cyberdelic nightmare of hanging faces and shifting backgrounds. I complained. Apple told be to get bent. SO… I complained again. And they caved. Never give up. Be the squeaky wheel…

  • On Mr Zuckerberg’s New Threads

    2008Zuckerberg: ‘Hey, we’re a cool new app – can we have your time and personal info? We won’t fuck you with it.’ Me: OKAY! You’re so cool and hip and cool! Lemme give you my entire personal life! THEN~ Cambridge Analytica, Trump, Brexit ~ 2023Zuckerberg: ‘Hey, we’re a cool new app – can we have…

  • Matthew Healy – Another “Ironic” Racist

    During the conversation, Healy mentioned that he once messaged Ice Spice on Instagram, which opened the floodgates for Friedland and Mullen to refer to her as an “Inuit Spice Girl,” saying: “This chubby Chinese lady. ‘Yeah, I rap and [make] music.’ Do they talk like that? Do Inuits talk like that?” What followed was their…

  • Amazon Shuts Down DPReview

    Dear readers, After nearly 25 years of operation, DPReview will be closing in the near future. This difficult decision is part of the annual operating plan review that our parent company shared earlier this year. The site will remain active until April 10, and the editorial team is still working on reviews and looking forward to delivering…

  • Casey Review Confirms ACAB

    Women and children have been failed by the Metropolitan Police, with racism, misogyny, and homophobia at the heart of the force, a blistering review says. Baroness Casey says a “boys’ club” culture is rife and the force could be dismantled if it does not improve. Her year-long review condemns systemic failures, painting a picture of…

  • Fatphobia And GPs

    Me: Doctor, I’ve broken my arm.GP: It’s cos you’re fat. Me: Doctor, I stood on a nail.GP: It’s cos you’re fat. Me: Doctor, I’ve got a bad ear infection.GP: It’s cos you’re fat. Me: Doctor, I’m fat.GP: Have you tried eating less and doing more?Me: I was first put on a diet as a 7yo.…

  • Why Billionaires Are All Evil

    If the vast majority of people reading this suddenly became billionaires, you know what we’d do? We’d give it away. Or put it into foundations. Or fund food banks totally. Or gift our entire country free ubiquitous wi-fi. Something constructive. I don’t think any of us would keep it all. Me, I’m old. I would…

  • My First NFT

    Here’s is my first NFT offering, the first person to offer me ONE MILLION SPOUNDS receives the PNG file. I promise I haven’t copied it much. And pngs are un-copyable anyway. Also, there’s no NFT as I cba. It’s yours in Zuck’s EvilCloud FOREVER. #bargain #HighArt #FuckNFTs

  • The Curse Of Atemporality In Tech-Saturated Late-Capitalist Cultures

    Consider… … the sea of muddy kids in the crowd, a sea in movement as well as density. So many humans, packed into a small space together, bobbing around every which way. Shit-eating grins, sodden jumpers. And not one phone in sight. Don’t worry, this isn’t some Back To The Land, Look Up-type post, entreating…

  • Fucknut Winklechips

    Just got banned from a Berlin Models & Photographers group on FB I was hoping to find a nude model on for my visit to Germany in October. I checked all the rules and regs before I posted so I can only conclude that they kicked me for a surfeit of FUCK THE POLICE posts…

  • Helping Google With Their Vids

  • Per Ardua Ad Astra

    From “aliens built the pyramids” types to moon landing conspiracists, there will always be people who deny humanity’s capacity for sheer, utter brilliance. Here’s to the humans that make the impossible happen and the ones who died trying. <3

  • Dump Trump 4/6/2019

    I just got back from the Dump Trump protest and I’m fucking knackered and falling asleep but I had to process and post these pics while they were still **now**, you know what I mean. Already, I’ve seen complete bullshit in the bourgeois media, saying that only “hundreds” were protesting. Were were there in our…

  • IAAF Spews More Hate

    I am NOT SORRY to keep posting about this…This person was born a woman, she identifies as a woman, she IS A WOMAN FFS! If you’re a bloke and the IAAF measured your testosterone and said, ‘Good news, it’s low enough for you to compete as a woman!’ – how would you feel? Would it…

  • IAAF Attacks Intersex Athletes

    Caster Semenya has lost a landmark case against athletics’ governing body meaning it will be allowed to restrict testosterone levels in female runners. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) rejected the South African’s challenge against the IAAF’s new rules. But Cas said it had “serious concerns as to the future practical application” of the…

  • Insult To Injury

    It’s not enough that you confuse me, say one thing then the opposite, stop start, set boundaries but never respect mine. You have to add to that by calling me a liar. When have I lied? I’m not your fucking idiot ex. Don’t confuse me with him because that is the worst slur I can…
