I think I'd like to ascend into the sun after reading that blog. Just fire me on into the fiery ball of gas.

I've come to the conclusion everyone who regularly tweets is a bellend.

He's somewhere between the age of 48 and 52 (maybe?) so similar age to me, I turn 50 in September. The thought of ever putting stuff about my sex life on a blog makes me want to die. We were forever telling our kids that nothing on the internet goes away, it'll haunt you for years etc. and you'd think that someone who's been CEO of the internet (or whatever jobs he's claimed he's done) would know that.

Honest to god, I have been arguing with myself not to start reading another thread but my god I’m glad I won! This guy is just…I’m speechless. Utterly speechless.

This tweet is giving such lazy dad energy. There was one point in my dad's life when he'd get up late and go to work in unironed, sometimes wet clothes...putting his tie on in the taxi. In fairness to dad, the clothes were wet because he'd washed them, so I suppose he's more disorganised than unclean.
Thank you so much for posting these. My initial sadness as someone I thought was okay turned out to be a creep has now evaporated. He's very entertaining, but not in the way he hopes.
''Just dropped cheese on toast, and it is now matted in my chest hair'' - why is he single again? I just can't fathom it. I hope he washed it out and didn't just leave it there to congeal.
And... ''Didn't get to the supermarket this weekend.'' If only Russ had a girlfriend with a military background who could yomp along on an expedition to Asda! Imagine, all the cheap nightmeat he'd ever want piled into a backpack and carried straight to his door. This is exciting. I'm sensing a new romance for Jack and Russ - someone get them both on Tinder. She can sit in bed with crumbly teeth sipping stretchy chickpea bedsoup, and he can do kitchen experiments with matted chest hair cheese. Both will only communicate with each other via Twitter. A perfect relationship.

lmaooo the guys with bootcut jeans and sheaux that come up to your floor on a Friday evening to put the gorgeous young 21-23 year olds through yet another god awful conversation with them that they just nod through. Will ask them what they’re up to after work just to sniff out a trail to follow. They sit there pulling faces at each other as they have to listen to the monologue of someone wearing BBQ dad finery.Pretty much everything he says is too cringy for an adult to say. This makes me think that he has no actual adult friends, he's the guy in the office that hangs around with the "young folk" and tries using their language and latches onto them on work nights out
Also this is probably problematic but his anti valentines schtick just makes him sound like a total cheapskate. If you’re dating someone your dad’s age surely the main benefit of it all is being spoilt? Imagine doing community service at help the aged inc and not even getting some flowers for your time. No wonder she LEFT!

I mean the thing is… and this is how Jack Monroe gets away with it as well… being a fitter was super well paid in the 70s/80s/90s? It was an objectively good job. Just that people whose parents were doctors and lecturers don’t understand that.Russ's dad.
So if you search his tweets, you will find literally hundreds of variations on this:

Seriously. Hundreds. Here's one more, just to add to the career discussion (by started school he means left school. Easy mistake to make, no?):

Russ's dad was a mechanic at...the BBC?
View attachment 1423476
He was also unemployed:

...and poor Russ couldn't go to university despite his "Cambridge grades". Russ, as he never tires of reminding us, left school at 16. So he didn't have Cambridge grades, because he wasn't in school long enough.

Anyway, back to Dad. He was a humble man...View attachment 1423489

...or was he?

So was he a fitter or a computer engineer? And what about Alan Turing?
Well, Turing famously developed his prototype computer in the immediate post-war years. His tragic death came in 1954.
Russ's dad was young enough to be evacuated during the war:
View attachment 1423497
This puts Dad at - absolute maximum - 13 in 1939; 19 in 1945 when Turing presented his outline for the computer; 26 in 1952 when Turing was convicted; and 28 when he died.
That's very generous on my part - Dad could have been a lot younger.
So no wonder Russ is so bitter, given that his father was a computing prodigy who worked alongside Turing at such a young age, but ended up a semi-employed mechanic (because Tories).
PS Jack?

here but my husband and I both have the archetypal deadbeat dads and our childhoods were spent aboard the struggle bus. Mr Goat’s stepdad was a fitter and he said when his mum got with said fitter when he was 11 life became one of near-constant luxury (to his mind ie. no more rationing a multipack of crisps between 3 kids for a week; extravagant Christmases with unlimited gifts and cheesy snacks).Obv it’s not a job that has cachet when you walk into your SU in Durham or Exeter, but in working class communities it’d put you pretty high up on the earning scale and get you a mortgage and a car.
These supposed voices of the left are all full of shit and it tires me that their followers so willingly give money to these shysters and think it’s activism.

He was crowdfunding because he was being sued. Or might be sued. Nobody is genuinely that sure on the suing status.
But it was curiously only a day or so after he’d been sprung with a 6k or something utilities bill that he hadn’t been paying for years.
His crowdfunding target was smashed by his adoring fans and the rumbling started about the grift.
Cue his multiple tweets about how he wasn’t a grifter, would give all the excess to Trussell Trust and wasn’t going to make a penny. It was pointed out that he was still getting others to pay bills for him that he was liable for. But that doesn’t count in GriftingLand. That’s not their responsibility, see?
If he’s getting sued for being a mouthy gobshite on Twitter - that’s his responsibility. Even if it was a Tory MP he upset. Those are the breaks.
If he’s not paid a bill for years that’s also his responsibility.
I simply do not get this lack of ownership for your fuckups. To go out with a begging bowl is crass and bizarre. Especially when you are - by all standards- reasonably well off.
GET A LOAN YOU GRIFTING FUCK.

Oh GOD that blog. I've literally just cringed myself inside out. That's before we get to the barely disguised hatred of women and the utterly appalling writing...

Maybe I should laugh this off, but it's bothering me for lots of reasons. Rant below.
Everyone's allowed to have their preferences, but what I can't stand in this post is the implication that ''real sex'' = whatever aggressive porn clips he's been watching lately. Who is he to judge what is or isn't proper sex? To say you don't believe in loving, gentle sex is such an odd way to make a point. It's one thing to say 'I don't like this' - instead he's talking as if he's Richard Dawkins discussing the existence of God. There's also such misogyny (there it is again!) in the disdain for Mills & Boon type romance, which is typically seen as a very female-oriented thing and not taken seriously by anyone. Besides, the 'gently kiss my way down your body' stuff isn't exclusive to Mills & Boon. It's actually really sexy in a less-is-more way (not when it involves Russ ofc). But hey, apparently we're not allowed to find affectionate behaviour attractive or else we'll be seen as lesser beings who are beneath his rational manly intellect.
*I don't think Russ would know anything about the 'less is more' thing because he seems to have a few issues with desensitisation and, umm, the 'death grip' as it's commonly known.

Here's a fun one: is Russ a feminist? A timeline.
Yes he is!
...but he can still lol at those humourless feminazis, right?
Women can decide, but Russ has the answer.
Hilarious!
Bantz!
He's a well-intentioned feminist man (who hopes you'll let him in your rear foofoo).
He's definitely a feminist...
...oh wait, now he's not. Same day!
He tries.
"Siri, does compulsive masturbation make me less of a feminist? Asking for a friend."
Russ is learning...
...learning to preface his tweets with "it's not my place to say" before telling women what to think!
Not learning very quickly, it seems.
Now he doesn't even want to call himself a feminist anymore, despite doing so repeatedly over the years:
Half true:
Hooray, he's a feminist again!
Exhausting. It's like Jack, but without figuring out how the delete button works.
