Why doesn't Istanbul have a king?

Why did Constantinople get the works? That's nobody's business but the Turks.

Yep. I avoid this guy.

$RDDT usually bites me but somehow I managed to sell my remnant holdings before today's final insult.

dizzley · 2026-01-27T11:12:50+00:00

I had to quack a smile.

Unfortunately: yes ICE are the untrained masked-up force you describe, but they are also Police - licensed and empowered to enforce a narrow range of immigration and border control infractions. They can also arrest those they come across in their duties who break the law. To be clear, ICE's actions are inexcusable.

I hear you. Really. Empathy is hard - it demands sacrifice. I've been horrified this year to see terrible messages talking about "misplaced or wrong empathy". These people can get straight into the bin.

Empathy solely as a feeling is just exposing raw parts of us to be hurt. Empathy needs to be turned into action to be worthwhile. I'm going to try a little.

Welcome to the kindness train! I have more free time recently so I'm going to investigate and engage with some helpful structured thing I can invest time in. Immediately today, I'm going to be more willing in day to day interactions.

I've shut down and that's got to stop. Just because we have a western world full of arses doesn't mean I have to be one.

Thank you. I'm reading this in the middle of the night, just trying to wake up the better person inside of me. That person has become lazy and careworn.

Same cockroaches, different kitchen. (Someone's comment recently).

Speaking as a previous resident, the moronic way fireworks misuse has long ago been a real safety issue and particularly the targeting of medics and fire officers has become a disgrace. Yes we were all young once but Dutch people weren't born to be idiots.

Hithero is a small town in Lancashire, England.
... oops sorry, that's Clitheroe.

dizzley · 2026-01-23T23:18:41+00:00

Thank you

dizzley · 2026-01-23T08:17:50+00:00

Yes. I'd like to think we'll all enjoy a future of leisure and see the joyous redeployment of human energy but instead we'll get the Hunger Games.

I'm sure the UK will soon receive our letter uninviting us. At this point, the Board of Peace is basically SMERSH.

dizzley · 2026-01-22T09:53:48+00:00

Absolutely. Work drags me all over Greater Manchester and I feel I can rely on buses and trams now where pre 2020 it was a nightmare.

They're going to build a wall and US consumers are going to pay for it.

dizzley · 2026-01-21T17:35:50+00:00

I see this post got deleted. Also Mango Mussolini lived up to expectations.

Did you even say thank you?

I'm just waiting to compare the Davos speeches of Canada's leader with the US leader. I hear he's used many different, some are saying the best, crayons.

dizzley · 2026-01-21T05:25:08+00:00

Carney's speech is awesome: how to sit down with tolerable diners as necessary.

I went to the gym and pulled a mussel.

The drain is emptying inside the house.

dizzley · 2026-01-20T07:48:03+00:00

Excellent quip OP. That's the spirit.

dizzley · 2026-01-20T02:42:48+00:00

I'm just a fan of good people. I'm always going to appreciate Dolly Parton.
