This is from The Secret Life of the Sewing Machine.

I didn't want to do today's 💿, but. My experience on Mastodon and Bluesky is pretty similar, because a) I p much just follow me friends and want to chat with them b) I block any chuds in both places. That's it.

This obsession for American pickup trucks on UK roads is insane. Dave, you live on a fucking estate in Doncaster not on the prairies of Montana. Tax the bastards to oblivion
