Reform, and the death of the Tory Party

Haha, often fun when someone questions a post on X...

Arresting somebody is "not that serious". TBF, if I got arrested I would take fairly f******* fairly seriously, regardless of whether or not I had committed a crime. XYY Man obviously gets arrested on a fairly regular basis (but never charged so it seems).

You might spot quite a bit of humour on here that's not marked by emojis. I might not have been entirely serious.

I've got a very good friend on FB with whom I used to exchange some pretty spicy contrary opinions (sans emojis) that onlookers might have thought we hated each other, but actually we were both teasing each other all the time. And despite his petrolheadedness, we're still very good friends. I think.

I'll never understand your love for emojis.

It's all very weird - not politically or terrorist motivated, not thought to be targeted but someone has allegedly driven half the length of the country to commit murder.

Shït can sometimes go very very wrong in the darker corners of the extreme kink community. Yes, you do now have images of Anne Widdicombe in your head that bleach cannot remove

I don't 'love' them any more than other ways of communicating something, but they are genuinely interesting as a paralinguistic feature worthy of research. https://www.nextscientists.com/index.php/science-conf/article/view/573

I guess I like their function in humour, either by use or deliberate non-use.

"The piece examines how emojis enhance clarity, express emotions, foster connections, and introduce humor [sic] in English-speaking cultures."

FWIW, I dislike their use if the pretence is that something is funny when it's just an insult: I might insult a very good friend, either with or without a wink (in person) or emoji wink, but if I call someone I don't know well the same name and stick an emoji in to pretend it's a friendly insult, it's emoji abuse, I'd argue.

Equally, I enjoy very droll humour that doesn't do the "badoom tish" ("Its a joke, folks!!"), but sometimes it risks someone taking it seriously. Which in itself can be funny, to be fair.

I use this one as I am a chain tea drinker. That’s all…

It completely messed up his attempts at looking military.

He went for a hybrid of navy and army.

Spotting a pattern? They want Farage to be free to speculate for political gain on a live case, but anyone calling him out is endangering him, so they shouldn't.

It feels about as convenient as Trump’s assassination attempt

Unsure if Reform, Restore, Wee Stevie's pals or something other twunts are responsible, but hey ho, 12 have been arrested for making alleged terror threats against an Islamic event (which was about promoting spirituality and reflection, irony of ironies)...
